Foucaults Pendulum Apparatus
Product Code : EL-PLE-13143
Eduscope India is a leading Foucaults Pendulum Apparatus
Quick Answer: Foucault's Pendulum Apparatus is a miniature working model of Foucault's original pendulum, giving students a precise, visible demonstration of the Earth's rotation.
The pendulum is enclosed in a glass case that keeps it free of air currents and drafts, and stands on a heavy vibration-damping base with leveling feet, so external vibration and any unevenness in the surface do not disturb its swing. Because the pendulum is electrically maintained against the damping effect of air resistance, with amplitude adjustable through a potentiometer, it keeps swinging steadily on its own and needs no ongoing attention once started — a low-maintenance physics demonstration kit India apparatus well suited to permanent display in science rooms, foyers or museums. As with the original 1851 demonstration by French physicist Léon Foucault beneath the dome of the Panthéon in Paris, the plane of the pendulum's swing appears to slowly rotate relative to the ground, because it is, in fact, the ground itself that is rotating beneath it.

EduScope India's physics range, including the Foucault's Pendulum Apparatus, is exported to South American markets such as Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Bolivia, supporting college and university lab equipping in the region.
This apparatus is also among the physics lab equipment India EduScope India regularly supplies through bulk institutional and government lab-equipment orders, school chains and CSR-funded science-education programs.
It is part of EduScope India's Physics Lab Equipment range, and pairs naturally with the Cavendish Gravitational Balance for a broader set of hands-on demonstrations of otherwise abstract physics phenomena.
