Anti Gravity Cone (Double Cone Appears)
Product Code : SCL-SK-12143
Anti Gravity Cone (Double Cone Appears) (SKU SCL-SK-12143), also known as the anti gravity double cone model, is a mechanics demonstration in which a double cone seems to roll uphill on diverging inclined rails. It suits centre-of-gravity, stability and potential-energy lessons in schools, colleges and exhibitions. Science Lab Supplies makes the set in-house at its Saha, Ambala site (Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, India), selling directly to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each specification of the double cone set is listed in the table. In short, a double cone sits on a pair of rails that rise and spread apart; as the cone moves toward the wide, high end, its middle sinks between the rails, so its centre of gravity actually falls while the body seems to climb.

Applications and Experiments for the Anti Gravity Double Cone
Placed at the narrow, low end of the track and released, the cone rolls toward the raised end, and students can work out that its centre of gravity is descending all the while. It suits centre-of-gravity and energy lessons in secondary physics, college applied mechanics and science exhibitions.
- Class 11 physics: centre of mass and centre of gravity of a rigid body.
- Gravitational potential energy: why bodies move so that the centre of gravity falls, compared with a true downhill run of the car on the Dynamics Car and Inclined Track Set.
- Stability and rolling motion in applied mechanics, with the brass roller of the Inclined Plane Brass as an ordinary rolling body for contrast.
- Discussing a mechanical paradox in STEM clubs and exhibitions.
Release the cone gently rather than pushing it, and keep fingers out of its rolling path.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Anti Gravity Cone (Double Cone Appears) is supplied as one demonstration set built around the double cone and its diverging rail track. Base design and any activity guide or storage box depend on the version offered, and the quotation lists the exact parts of the set.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Price one set for the physics demonstration bench, or a quantity for several schools. The quotation shows packing, delivery time and price for that number, and other science kits for students in India, including the Newton’s laws apparatus, can join the same quotation.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Schools wanting the double cone can ask for a price through the contact page, line it up with other apparatus in the enquiry cart, or use the lab tender page for tendered purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the cone really move against gravity?
No. It only appears to roll uphill. Because the rails spread apart as they rise, the cone drops between them, so its centre of gravity moves downward throughout the motion.
Why is it called an anti-gravity cone?
The name comes from the surprising uphill motion. The physics explanation is ordinary gravity: the cone moves in the direction that lowers its centre of gravity, which makes it a good discussion starter.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer?
Yes. The double cone set is produced at the company’s own factory in Saha, Ambala, India, and quotations are prepared there by the manufacturer rather than by a trading agent.
What is the cone made of?
The cone and rail materials, with the finish, are confirmed on the quotation for the set offered. Ask through the contact page and mention any preference, and the reply will state what can be supplied.
