The GUNT Coriolis Force Experimental Unit provides a clear and practical demonstration of the Coriolis force in a rotating reference system. Using a transparent water tank mounted on a rotatable arm with a submersible pump, the unit allows direct observation of flow deflection under controlled conditions. The deflection caused by the Coriolis effect can be studied in relation to flow rate, rotation speed, and direction. The system is safe, user-friendly, and ideal for educational demonstrations and research into rotating dynamics and inertial forces.
Product Features
- Demonstrates Coriolis force, an apparent or inertial force that deflects mass movement within rotating reference systems.
- Highlights Coriolis force’s significance in meteorology and physical oceanography for understanding air and water current behaviour due to Earth's rotation.
- Explains engineering relevance where rotational motion interferes with an object’s movement, such as in cranes, gear units, or robots.
- Transparent water tank with submersible pump is mounted on a rotatable arm to simulate a rotating reference system.
- Pump generates a radial water jet inside the rotating system, visually showing Coriolis-induced deflection.
- Water jet deflection varies with flow rate, water velocity, and the speed and direction of rotation.
- Degree of deflection measured using a built-in scale on the transparent water tank.
- Rotation speed is electronically controlled, continuously adjustable, and digitally displayed for precise experimentation.
Benefits
- Provides a hands-on, visual learning experience for understanding Coriolis forces in physics and engineering contexts.
- Supports varied experiments through adjustable flow and rotation settings.
- Bridges theoretical knowledge with real-world applications in geophysics and mechanics.
- Safe and user-friendly with transparent design and secure operational controls.
