Experiment set ENERGY

Description

Getting close to energy

At last students have the chance to find out about the phenomenon of energy in exciting experiments they can carry out themselves. They will learn not only about conventional forms of energy but also the new, alternative energy forms arising from all different areas of physics. A key factor of this lies in the conversion of various forms of energy into energy of a different kind.

Developed with education experts

This experiment set was developed in 1995 in close conjunction with the Chair for Physics Education at the University of Erlangen under the direction of Prof. Dr. Werner Schneider and was then tested by experienced teachers. It has lost none of its attraction in the interim.

Modern components

By using a PELTIER module, the flow of heat can be demonstrated in a way that is particularly easy to understand. It is also very impressive at showing the function of a heat pump or refrigerator. The solar module makes more interesting experiments on conversion of energy and energy storage possible.
