MAGNETS SET, RING, CERAMIC (FLOATING MAGNETS, WOBBLY MAGNETS)
To show that like magnetic poles repel each other by placing three or more ring magnets on a non-magnetic stand. Comprises five colored ring magnets (o.d. x i.d. x h), 32 x 16 x 6mm magnetised parallel to the axis, equipped with an acrylic rod mounted on a plastic base. The magnets float in the air, one over the others and spring back up when pushed down. See Enlarge

MAGNETIC NEEDLE ON STAND (DEMONSTRATION COMPASS)
For studying magnetic phenomena such as operation of a compass, testing of magnetic poles, finding the direction of electric current etc. Consists of a magnetised steel needle about 150mm long with brass bearing pivoted on a non-magnetic metal stand. North pole is marked in red. The needle when not in use is reversed and kept in main rod for safety. See Enlarge

WHIMSHURT MACHINE
For generating static electric charges and causing electric discharges. Relative to Van de Graaf it produces higher current with lower voltage. Consists of two high resistance plastic disks of diameter 25cm approx, with equally spaced metal sectors. The discs are supported in two rigid upright supports, rotating in opposite directions with a hand crank. Provided with a system of induced charge collecting brushes, adjustable ball-ended electrodes and cylindrical Leyden jar capacitors for obtaining higher potential. Produces substantial opposite charges which are deposited in the capacitors and on metal spheres. A rapid sequence of sparks can be generated by lowering the systems capacitance. Mounted on insulated wooden base. See Enlarge

ELECTROSCOPE, METAL CASE
More sensitive instrument as leaf deflection is unaffected by air currents or by charges residing on the case. Reacts only to charges which are intentionally brought near or put on them. Comprised of a box made of aluminium with two transparent glass windows to shut out air currents and a plated metal support rod entering from the top through a polyethylene insulator. Two leaves of thin aluminium foil are suspended from the support rod. Supplied with three pairs of aluminium leaves. See Enlarge
