Barlow's Wheel with Heavy Duty Base

Barlow's Wheel is a historical demonstration apparatus that illustrates the Lorentz force generated by currents flowing between the polar expansions of a magnet. This unit is equipped with neodymium-iron-boron magnets that generate a strong magnetic field over the wheel, setting it in motion when crossed by current. The wheel operates on low-friction bearings and is mounted on a heavy-duty base for stability. The apparatus effectively demonstrates the interaction between magnetic fields and electric current, making it a valuable tool for physics instruction in electromagnetism and motor principles.
