Giant Yo-Yo Model STEM Lab Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-MH-12488
Quick Answer: The Giant Yo-Yo Model is a large Maxwell’s wheel demonstrator with a 250 mm, 1.25 kg flywheel on a 650 mm frame. Wound up and released, the wheel descends slowly as its energy goes into spinning, showing the conservation of mechanical energy.

About This Product
Because much of the energy goes into rotation, the wheel falls far more slowly than a dropped object, so students have time to measure its descent and compare linear and angular acceleration. It shows potential energy changing into translational and rotational kinetic energy and back again, and how the moment of inertia governs the motion, before friction gradually brings the wheel to rest. The Giant Yo-Yo Model STEM Lab can be supplied on export terms to Trinidad and Tobago, Costa Rica, Liberia, Malaysia, Moldova and Angola.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the Giant Yo-Yo Model fall slowly?
A large share of its stored potential energy turns into rotational kinetic energy of the heavy flywheel, leaving less for downward motion, so the descent is much slower than free fall.
Why should the frame be levelled before use?
Levelling with the feet and bubble level stops the wheel from wandering along the axle during operation.
