Details

The Forced Oscillation and Resonance Apparatus is a very clever device for demonstrating the principles of resonate vibrations. These vibrations, which can do tremendous damage, quite often remain invisible or unnoticed until their destructive nature becomes apparent. This principle, however, can also be put to very constructive use such as radio and television tuners, musical instruments, super accurate watches, and thousands of other everyday items. Understanding the nature of resonance has also helped to combat its sometimes destructive behavior by building shock and damping systems of buildings during earthquakes. The knowledge has been used to construct noise-canceling systems for car mufflers and industrial plants. It also has been incorporated in stabilizers for automotive engines so that they run smoother.

Kit designed to show the vibration of an object when repeated impulses are applied, this demonstrator consists of two weights of different natural frequencies, two cams driven by a 6V motor with speed control, and four springs. The speed control is used to adjust the frequency of applied force for resonance, so a greater degree of variance is possible.

Included in kit: Force Oscillation and Resonance Apparatus, 2 small springs (0.4") with looped ends, 2 medium springs (1") with looped ends, one large spring (2.5"), large weight (1.5"), smaller weight (1.25"), and instructional guide.

Apparatus measures 18" tall, 6.5" wide and 4" long. Base measures 10" wide and 7" long.

What Educators are Saying About Geyer

Justin has been nothing but helpful and professional in my requests for these Boeing Defense requirements. He has been able to answer my questions and concerns quickly, and helped in securing the order that I may have made with another supplier had be not been the value-add that he is to your company. I hope his merit raise this FY was "exceeds expectations".

..I contacted Geyer via email. I had an email back within minutes!.. A back and forth via email sometimes takes days with other companies and customer service doesn’t happen like this very often. When it does, it’s much appreciated. Brett at Geyer was very polite and accommodating!

The customer service rep went as far as to reach out to the manufacturer of a product to answer my question, and then provided pictures. She really went above and beyond and answered the question thoroughly and gave me exactly the information I was looking for. This entire process was also extremely fast.

I called to ask how to submit a Tax Exempt Certificate for my library and spoke to a real person, no automation or asking me to press a number. He was friendly, helpful and got our Tax Exempt status established immediately.

...I don't think I've ever experienced that level of customer service before, and taking it into consideration along with the quality of their products, I would absolutely recommend Geyer to fellow teachers.
