The design of the Spillnot uses the principles of Newtonian physics to keep the liquid in the container. The flexible handle and location of the suspension point above the center of the tray ensure that the forces on the liquid are always directed toward the supporting tray, even when the tray is in motion. Sideways forces usually responsible for spills are not transmitted to the tray by the flexible handle. Radial forces generated during swinging motion only force the liquid into the container more firmly. An inexpensive demonstration to intrigue students and challenge their analytical powers! Includes activity guide. 5" x 5" x 9". Weight: .25 lbs.

A very economical apparatus to demonstrate that light and heavy objects fall at the same rate / acceleration in a vacuum. Apparatus consists of a 36" (910mm) long x 2.25" (55mm) diameter, transparent tube with a stopcock mounted in a rubber stopper on one end, and a solid rubber stopper on the other end. Supplied complete with a 13" long vinyl tubing for connection to a vacuum pump (not supplied), a metal disc and a feather.
Combines mathematics, geometry and aesthetics into a magical motion of surprising simplicity, beauty and fun. Its system of polymer links expand and contract almost effortlessly, changing in volume 30 times. A sturdy toy, an object of art, a tool for teaching mathematics and science - the Hoberman Sphere's universal appeal and versatility have led its owners to discover uses even its inventor never dreamed of. Children love to wear it on their heads, or climb inside. Grown-ups have proved themselves no less inventive: jugglers juggle with them. Drill teams march with them. Magicians make magic with them. Teachers teach geometry with them. Motivational speakers use them as metaphors for unity, teamwork and expanding potential. Ages 4 and up. Expands from 9.5" to 30".
