Maxwell‘s Wheel
from Physics Experiments - SD · host Paul Koza, Tom Burkart
In this experiment, a Maxwell‘s Wheel rolls down a rail. A force measurement shows that while the wheel is moving, measured gravitational force of the wheel is slightly smaller compared to it‘s resting state. The explanation for this is the force distribution among the vertical acceleration (which is measurable) and the angular acceleration of the wheel.
