Mini Launcher

Mini Launcher

The Mini Launcher launches metal spheres up to 2.0 m high to produce highly accurate and repeatable data for classroom projectile analysis.

Time-of-Flight Accessory

Time-of-Flight Accessory

Use with a Photogate to capture time of flight data. Timing starts when object passes through photogate and stops when object impacts this landing pad. For use with PASPORT and ScienceWorkshop Interfaces.

Projectile Launcher

Projectile Launcher

Launch plastic spheres up to a range of 5.0 m with repeatable results.
