Can you guess how fast the steel balls will roll and why they accelerate?

A magnetic accelerator is a chain reaction device. It is built in a series of stages, each containing a magnet, a spacer, and a projectile.

This four stage magnetic accelerator assembles in minutes without tools or glue. It includes powerful rare-earth magnets, steel ball bearings, a 25cm (10") long firing trough, and all the hardware needed to build your own magnetic accelerator. You can even join more than one kit to multiply the effect! This kit is an ideal centerpiece for a science project on magnetism and kinetic energy.

To start the chain reaction, a steel ball is released, which accelerates towards the first stage magnet. Like billiard balls, when it strikes the magnet, its energy is transfered through the magnet and spacer and into the projectile which speeds off toward the next stage. The process repeats until the last projectile leaves the end of the device. The more stages an accelerator has, and the more powerful the magnets are at each stage, the faster the ball bearing will leave the final stage!

    Awsome Science Fair Kit

    Setting: School

    My step-son wanted a science fair experiment that wasn't like everyone else's and the Magnetic Accelerator sure did the job. It was easy for him to assemble and demonstrate with.

    I had hoped that the ball bearing would be faster but it is a good product nonetheless.

    3-2-1 Launch

    Generally nice item which does a great job illustrating the power of magnetism. The boys really liked seeing it launch and actually helped in construction. Be careful not to overtighten the screws or you can crack the wood (yes we did but fixed with some glue). Take care assembling the paper launch vehicle if you want it to look nice. Only real draw back that we saw is that the kit is a little pricey, but since there aren't really any other kits that do this same type thing well I guess they charge what they can.
