Description

This device consists of a 36" / 90cm plastic cylinder that is capped on both ends with a rubber stopper. The stopper on one end of the tube has a 1/4 NPT ball valve fitting for air evacuation. A small vacuum pump is required. This device comes with a brass disc (simulates penny) and a small feather (guinea feather). When the tube is inverted under normal atmospheric pressure, students will see that the penny falls at a faster rate than the feather because of air resistance. When the tube is connected to a vacuum pump and the air removed, a vacuum is created. After the air is evacuated, and the tube is inverted, the penny and the feather will fall at the same rate.
