An affordable, general-purpose apparatus for quantitative experiments involving the Ideal Gas Law and for investigations of a working heat engine.
Features a nearly friction-free piston/cylinder system. The 32.5 mm diameter graphite piston fits snugly into a precision-ground Pyrex® cylinder so that the system produces almost friction-free motion of 10 cm and minimal leakage.
