blinky whirligig |
|
Swing a light bulb around and take a picture of it with a fan strobed Polaroid |
5L30.21 |
glow lamp swinger |
|
Swing a GE A9A or Chicago Miniature Ne-23 neon glow lamp in a 3 foot radius circle. Use as a persistence of vision demo by holding it still. |
5L30.21 |
whirling glow lamp |
|
A two watt neon glow lamp is mounted on a hand rotator. |
5L30.25 |
AC and DC with starch and iodine |
|
Drawing an electrode across a starch/iodine solution gives a solid line with dc and a dashed line with ac. |
5L30.30 |
LC low pass filter |
|
Ammeters measure the current before and after a LC filter while an audio amplifier detects ac before and after as the frequency is varied. |
5L30.31 |
current in an LC circuit |
|
Lamps are in series in each branch of an LC circuit to show current distribution as inductance is changed. |
5L30.34 |
Fourier zeros LC circuit |
|
No energy is deposited in a resonant high Q circuit at f=n/pulse width. Circuit given. |
5L30.35 |
mechanical analog of LC filter |
|
A string and pulley arrangement provides an analog of a parallel LC filter. Reference: AJP 14(5),318. |
5L30.36 |
RLC filter |
|
A RLC parallel filter with each component individually switched is used to show the effect of each component on audio frequencies. |
5L30.50 |
resonant cavity properties |
|
Identical ultrasonic transducers are bonded to opposite parallel faces of a solid medium. One is pulsed with a rf voltage at the transducer resonant frequency and the other is the receiver. The frequency adjusted to a Fabry-Perot resonance. |
