Apparatus for Teaching Physics.
Minnix, Richard B.; Carpenter, D. Rae, Jr., Eds.
Physics Teacher, v20 n9 p624-25 Dec 1982
Thirteen demonstrations using a capacitor-start induction motor fitted with an aluminum disk are described. Demonstrations illustrate principles from mechanics, fluids (Bernoulli's principle), waves (chladni patterns and doppler effect), magnetism, electricity, and light (mechanical color mixing). In addition, the instrument can measure friction during deceleration. (JN)
