Description
This versatile kit is part of a series that allows many experiments using different arrangements of their parts. Students, teachers or lecturers fi t the parts of the kit to the work panel ) (supplied separately) to study or show an engineering science topic. This kit includes three different drive systems to show their relative advantages and disadvantages. Students test a universal coupling, a belt drive and a chain drive to see how they work and how they diff er in the way they transfer motion (power). The kit includes extra parts to help show the importance of the angle of lap around a pulley and its relationship with friction. The kit introduces students to key engineering terms such as gear ratio, pulley ratio and efficiency. We supplies a CD-ROM with the work panel It includes all the worksheets, guidance notes and lecturer notes (with answers) needed for typical experiments with each kit. The selection of parts in the kits and the choice of fixing points on the work panel means that teachers or lecturers may extend the experiments to an even greater range. Note: The kit is for use with the work panel (supplied separately).
Learning Outcomes
- Power transfer, efficiency and direction in a belt drive
- Power transfer and efficiency in a chain drive
- Input and output relationships of a universal coupling
- Friction and angle of lap on a pulley
