Kinetic Theory Model Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-P-10779
Quick Answer: The Kinetic Theory Model simulates the behaviour of a gas. A DC motor drives a vibrating platform with a rubber surface inside an acrylic tube with a scale, agitating 100 small stainless steel balls that stand in for gas molecules. The size is 160 × 160 × 430 mm.

Key Features
- Simulates the behaviour of a gas; the balls stand in for molecules
- DC motor drives a vibrating platform with a rubber surface inside an acrylic tube with a scale
- Set of 100 small stainless steel balls loaded in the tube
- Motor speed is changed to simulate heating a gas, which changes the agitation of the balls
- Light polystyrene foam disc floats on the agitated balls; a second heavier disc can be added or can replace the first
- Floating height (gas volume) can be related approximately to disc weight (gas pressure)

About This Product
The kinetic theory explains gas behaviour as the random motion of many particles. In this model the vibrating platform plays the part of heat: a faster motor agitates the steel balls more strongly, as a hotter gas moves its molecules faster. The foam disc floats at a height set by the agitation and by its weight, so students see volume change with temperature and weight, and the relationship between gas volume and pressure shows up when a heavier disc is added. It supports lessons on gas laws and pressure. School Lab Equipment India supplies the Kinetic Theory Model across India and can export it to United States, Tanzania, Kuwait, Albania, Brazil and Rwanda.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Kinetic Theory Model show?
It simulates the behaviour of a gas and demonstrates the movement of molecules in a gas, using small stainless steel balls agitated inside an acrylic tube.
Q2. How many balls does it use?
A set of 100 small stainless steel balls is loaded into the tube.
Q3. What do the foam discs show?
A light polystyrene foam disc floats on the agitated balls at a certain height. A second heavier disc can be added or can replace the first, to show an approximate relationship between floating height (gas volume) and disc weight (gas pressure).
