Kinetic Theory Model

  • The apparatus consists of a clear plastic tube approximately 190mm long that is mounted on a plastic box, which forms a sturdy base.
  • The base houses a 6V motor and consists of a speed control unit that varies the speed of the motor.
  • The two 4mm sockets on the side of the base connect the motor to a power source.
  • The cylinder contains about a hundred tiny steel balls which rest on a vibrating platform mounted on the base.
  • A cylindrical polystyrene piston lies inside the clear tube and a plastic lid with a small hole covers the top opening of the tube.

The Kinetic Theory Model is a valuable educational tool that effectively demonstrates the fundamental principles of the kinetic theory of gases. The model consists of a Perspex tube with a vibrating platform, which is driven by a small electric motor. It allows users to explore the relationship between temperature, pressure, and volume while observing the motion and behaviour of gas particles.

The vibrating steel balls represent the moving gas molecules. The rheostat control and "floating" piston allow the conditions to be varied, thus simulating the effects of changing temperature and pressure on an enclosed gas. The low voltage required to drive the motor ensures extra safety for the learner.

This apparatus is ideal for educational settings, science demonstrations, and experimental investigations. With its robust construction and versatile features, this model provides a comprehensive and engaging learning experience for students and enthusiasts alike.
