Maxwells Wheel Desk Toy - Physics Motion Toy Kinetic
Curious Minds Busy Bags
Maxwell's Wheel is fidget-friendly and desktop-fashionable. Stands 10 inches tall with black, blue and green coloring. An oscillating flywheel provides a yo-yo-like motion when engaged. Scientifically inspired for tactile and visual delight. Made with high-quality materials, this desktop toy features a smooth black base, blue stand and wheel pole, a lime green flywheel and white string. Stands 12" tall x 8.5" x 4.5".
Wind it up to the top of the frame and let it go! As it drops, gravitational potential energy changes to the kinetic energy of the wheel's descent and rotation. The jerk when the wheel reaches the bottom reverses the linear momentum causing the wheel to wind back up.
In the Maxwell's Wheel Demonstration for physical science and physics, demonstrate the relationship between potential and kinetic energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, nearly-elastic collisions, inertia, and torque.
