Euler's Disk

Product Code : ILS-WAE-11719

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Euler's Disk (Product ID: 11719) as part of its work and energy range. A heavy metal disc that spins and rolls on a concave mirror base for a remarkably long time.

Quick Answer

Give the disc a twist on its 9 inch concave mirror base and it spins and rolls for a long time, because very little energy is lost on each turn. As the energy slowly drains away, the disc tilts lower and its point of contact circles faster and faster, even though the disc itself turns more slowly, ending in a rapid whirr before it stops. Students can explain it at any level, from simple energy loss to the rigid-body equations of Leonhard Euler, after whom it is named.
