Chain Reaction Magnetic Accelerator | Rocket-Shaped Desktop-Sized Magnetic Cannon for Physics Demonstrations | Includes Wood Mini-Barrels and Steel Marbles

$38.74

About This Product :

  • ROCKET SHAPED – Disguised in the shape of a rocket, this desk-top sized magnetic cannon is actually a serious physics demonstration of magnetic acceleration.
  • CHAIN REACTION – Embedded between each stage are high powered neodymium magnets. Watch the chain reaction and transfer as energy as the steel balls collide with increasing intensity to launch the final steel ball projectile into the barrels.
  • WHAT”S INCLUDED – Includes 4 wood mini-barrels, and 9 steel marbles. Measures 8.5” x 5.5” x 1.75”.  Fun, yes, but NOT a toy! For serious enthusiasts only ages 14+.
  • A PHYSICS DEMONSTRATION – Also known as magnetic rifle, Gauss rifle, linear Gaussian accelerator, or linear chain reaction magnetic accelerator chain reaction magnetic accelerator, this magnetic accelerator is a chain reaction device, built in a series of stages, each containing a magnet, a spacer, and a projectile.
  • TRANSFER OF ENERGY – To start the chain reaction, a steel ball is released, which accelerates towards the first stage magnet. Like billiard balls, when it strikes the magnet, its energy is transferred through the magnet and spacer and into the projectile which speeds off toward the next stage.
