E2-51: GRAVITATIONAL COLLAPSE - MODEL
Additional Info
- ID Code: E2-51
- Purpose: Model gravitational collapse.
- Description: Ring magnets are placed around the vertical rod with similar poles adjacent to each other. As more magnets are piled on, the weight of the magnets overcomes the opposing magnetic force, eventually causing "gravitational collapse."
- Availability: Available
- References: REFERENCES: (PIRA unknown.)
- Loc codes: E2
