Kinetic Theory Model
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11613
Quick Answer: The Kinetic Theory Model is a vibrating gas simulator: a variable-speed 6–12V DC motor agitates beads inside a transparent acrylic cylinder under an adjustable piston with a graduated scale, so students can see how particle motion relates to pressure, volume and temperature.

- Built-in variable-speed electric motor, 6–12V DC.
- Chrome steel or synthetic beads stand in for gas molecules.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | Vibratory mechanical gas simulator |
| Chamber | Transparent, impact-resistant acrylic cylinder |
| Piston | Adjustable, with graduated scale |
| Drive | Variable-speed electric motor, 6–12V DC |
| Particles | Chrome steel or synthetic beads |
How It Is Used
As the motor speed is raised, the beads move faster and strike the piston harder, lifting it up the scale, which models a gas expanding as its temperature rises. Setting the piston lower crowds the same beads into a smaller volume and increases the collisions, illustrating how pressure depends on volume.
