Timstar

A simple, robust and reliable power supply, ideal for basic electricity experiments. It offers stepped adjustment of both AC and DC with 1 V between the steps. The DC voltage is not smoothed or stabilised, meaning there is a fluctuation of approx. 10% of the output voltage at step level. The unit is protected against overload with an automatic circuit breaker (the unit works again after about 10 seconds). DC voltage: 1 to 12 in 1 V steps Current: 6 A max AC voltage: 1 to 12 in 1 V steps Current: 6 A max

This has to be the best signal/function generator available for educational use! Developed in conjunction with physics teachers and designed specifically for education, this unit provides all the functionality you need for physics teaching. really useful feature for those less familiar with using signal generators is that for basic use, you just operate two buttons: One for frequency and one for amplitude that's it! There is, of course, far more sophistication for those who require it. If you want to change waveform or to utilise the step and sweep modes, the display keeps you updated on the status of the generator. Unique frequency control: The frequency is set by speed sensitive button. Turn slowly to set the display's last digit, turn faster and the response accelerates designed to work intuitively in practical experiments. Drives speakers, vibration generator etc. directly: The built-in 10 power amplifier effortlessly drives power appliances e.g. vibration generator. The amplifier can deliver more than amp for all frequencies between 0.001 Hz and 100 kHz. Step mode: In many applications you need to study physical system at fundamental frequency and at different multiples of that frequency. The special step feature makes this task incredibly easy. Once the fundamental frequency has been determined (e.g. of spring connected to vibration generator), other harmonics (or overtones) can be demonstrated by simply pressing button, which changes the frequency to progressive multiples of the fundamental frequency. Sweep mode: The generator can sweep through frequency range in order to discover eventual resonances. You decide the frequency range and the speed. You have the choice between linear sweep (fixed number of Hz per unit time) and logarithmic sweep (fixed number of octaves per unit time). Advanced Features: The generator connects to your PC through standard USB cable and acts as USB flash drive. Custom defined waveforms (e.g. created by means of spreadsheet) can be saved to the generator. Sequences of settings can be programmed for automatic execution.

A high-quality simple-to-use student signal generator with a range of applications. Operated with just three buttons: Waveform, Frequency and Amplitude. There is a single output, provided with 4 mm safety sockets. The output can easily drive a speaker or vibrator with ample amplitude for resonance and diffraction experiments. The frequency range extends well beyond the audible range. The lowest frequencies are suitable for ""slow motion AC"" experiments. Unique frequency control The frequency is set with a speed-sensitive button. If you turn slowly, the last digit of the display is set. Turning faster, the response accelerates smoothly. The generator covers the six decades from 0.05 Hz to 50.00 kHz in a single range. The frequency is stable within 0.005 % Three waveforms The generator provides sine, triangle, or square wave signals.

The probe is slightly less sensitive than the normal receiver, and is largely non-directional. The unit benefits from built in amplifier with variable gain and meter displaying the relative signal strength.Output can be taken via the BNC connector either to an oscilloscope or meter. The probe detector is compatible with most 2.8 cm microwave educational systems on the market. • 2.8 cm microwave probe receiver • Mobile, easy to use, battery operated • Built in illuminated signal strength meter • BNC terminated output for use with oscilloscope, meter or audio amp • Gain control • Non-directional

This apparatus is designed for demonstration of standing waves and for determination of the wavelengths of sound waves in air. The tube is supplied with a millimetre scale and moveable piston for changing the length of the air column. (You will also need an external sound source e.g. 1 kHz tuning fork.) Dimensions (L x Dia.): 660 x 300 mm.

This apparatus is ideal for all resonance investigations in air columns particularly the Salters MUS Activity 9. The main tube takes high power sound wave generator unit plugged in to one end. The generator is driven by a standard laboratory signal generator and as the frequency is adjusted the various resonance modes are detected by increased loudness of the note. The open pipe can be studied or a variable length closed pipe can be used by inserting the piston assembly provided. By using a higher amplitude on the generator, Kundt's tube investigations can be undertaken. Fine cork or polystyrene dust is distributed throughout the tube and at resonance the powder gathers at the nodes. Wavelengths can be easily measured. To get a good response a closed tube is preferable, to reduce the sound levels in the laboratory while producing a measurable effect. The apparatus comes complete with two supports for the tube, sound wave generator, resonance tube, closing bung and full instructions. Dimensions (L x Dia.): 1 metre x 50 mm.

An overhead projector type ripple tank for demonstration of various wave phenomena, including reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. The unit comprises a shallow 40 x 40 cm tank with a scratch-resistant acrylic window on the bottom, supported by four adjustable legs. Two arms on the side hold an eccentric motor and bar assembly, onto which either two point dippers, or a plane-wave dipper can be attached. The motor and bar assembly is suspended by springs so the vibration is not transmitted to the tank. A bright point light source is held overhead, which shines down through the water in the tank, and casts a shadow of the waves on the bench below. The following accessories are included: Concave, convex, rectangular Perspex plates; curved reflector; two large one small barriers; two point dippers; hand stroboscope; banana leads; instructions. The motor requires continuously variable 0-5 V DC power supply, and the lamp requires 12 V AC supply. Alternatively, the ripple tank can be driven by the SO180324 ripple tank LED driver.

This driver and LED lamp is designed for the classic overhead projection type ripple tank. It features variable DC output for the motor, and another output for the LED. Electronics in the unit measure the oscillation of the unbalanced motor to calculate the frequency of the waves it generates, and can therefore modulate the LED to freeze or slow down the waves without the need of stroboscope. The LED can be set to: • ON where it is on constantly • FREEZE where the frequency matches the waves • CUSTOM the strobe frequency is controlled independently, allowing the waves to appear to move slowly or even in reverse! Compatible with ripple tanks SO58320, SO180320, and most similar ripple tanks from other suppliers. An exclusive product developed by Timstar in partnership with IPC Electronics, designed and manufactured in the UK.

An improved version of the classic Bell in Jar experiment. The base is fitted with rubber sheet which ensures a good seal between the jar and pump plate, without the need for vacuum grease. The pump plate is lightweight aluminium, mounted on a heavy tripod base, with a tube connection to the central pillar to evacuate air from the bell jar on top. A stopcock allows the chamber to be sealed, allowing the vacuum to be kept when turning off the pump. The bell jar is robust acrylic which is safe in the event of implosion, and has flat flange to ensure good seal with the pump plate. The bell is suspended by wires to reduce conduction of sound to the bell jar. Connection is by 4 mm sockets on the top bung. The bell can be heard getting quieter as the air is evacuated. Then, by closing the tap, turning off and disconnecting the pump, and then slowly allowing the air back in, the bell can be heard getting louder, as air is required to conduct the sound. The high-quality bell operates on 4-6 V DC or AC. Requires suitable vacuum pump, and heavy-walled vacuum/pressure tubing. Dimensions: Bell Jar • Height 260 mm to neck • Internal diameter 140 mm • External diameter flange 180 mm Pump Plate • Height 195 mm • Diameter 250 mm
