Transformation of Energy Apparatus
The apparatus consists of a magnet, a shaded pole AC motor, an incandescent lamp, a
bell, a rectifier, and switches all mounted on a durable, 18" x 18" x ¾" board. It is designed
to show how mechanical energy may be converted to electrical energy; reconverted to
either mechanical (motor) or light and heat energy (incandescent lamp); or mechanical
and sound energy (bell); and chemical energy by the electrolysis of water. A neon lamp
is used to visually show the difference between alternating and direct current. Operating
instructions are included. Sh. wt. 5.33 kgs.
