Giant Yo-Yo model – Demonstration of Rotational Motion & Energy Conservation | Manufactured by Samtech Instruments

Samtech Instruments, a trusted manufacturer of physics lab equipment and STEM teaching aids since 2002, proudly presents the Giant Yo-Yo model —a classic apparatus designed to demonstrate the principles of rotational motion, potential and kinetic energy transformation, and moment of inertia.

Perfect for use in physics classrooms, engineering colleges, and STEM learning environments, this model visually illustrates the law of conservation of energy through a simple yet effective setup.

What Is the Maxwell Wheel Model?

The Maxwell Wheel is a time-tested apparatus used in physics labs to demonstrate how gravitational potential energy converts into kinetic and rotational energy as the wheel descends and ascends along twisted strings.

When released, the wheel unwinds as it descends, gaining speed and rotation. At the lowest point, it rewinds in the opposite direction, converting kinetic energy back into potential energy—beautifully illustrating energy exchange and conservation in a mechanical system.

Kit Typically Includes:

• Precision-engineered Aluminium metal or alloy wheel
• Two strong strings wound symmetrically on both sides of the axle
• Rigid frame or clamp setup for stable vertical suspension
• Polished axle to ensure smooth descent and rewinding
• Compact and lab-friendly design
