Maxwell’s Wheel

Spoked wheel with high moment of inertia for demonstrating conversion between kinetic and potential energy. Suspended by two strings, it descends as the strings unwind and rises again as they rewind, visibly exchanging rotational kinetic and potential energy. Includes suspension rod and adjustable suspension mechanism; wheel diameter is approximately 130 mm and mass 370 g.
