Anti Gravity Cone (Double Cone Appears)

Product Code : SCL-SK-12143

The Anti Gravity Double Cone Model is a physics and applied mechanics teaching apparatus used for demonstrating apparent uphill motion, centre of gravity, potential energy and mechanical paradox concepts. It is suitable for schools, colleges, STEM labs, physics practical rooms, applied mechanics labs, science exhibitions and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

The Anti Gravity Cone (Double Cone Appears) from Science Lab Supplies is intended for classroom demonstrations where a double cone appears to roll upward on diverging inclined rails. The model does not cancel gravity; it shows an optical and mechanical effect caused by the cone’s centre of gravity moving downward while the body appears to move upward.

This apparatus helps students understand centre of mass, centre of gravity, stability, rolling motion, gravitational potential energy and mechanical paradoxes. The exact cone material, rail material, base design, dimensions, rail angle and finish must be confirmed before final catalogue publication.

Key Features

• Apparent anti-gravity demonstration: shows a double cone appearing to roll uphill on a shaped track.
• Centre-of-gravity learning: helps students understand that the centre of gravity can move downward even when the object seems to rise.
• Applied mechanics model: supports lessons on stability, rolling motion, potential energy and mechanical paradoxes.
• Visual classroom impact: creates a memorable demonstration for physics and STEM lessons.
• Capacity not applicable: this is a mechanics demonstration model, not a liquid-volume product.
• Reusable teaching apparatus: suitable for repeated demonstrations when handled and stored correctly.
• Specification-dependent construction: material, rail angle, cone size and base design must be verified.

How to Use the Anti Gravity Cone (Double Cone Appears)

1. Place the rail track on a stable, level laboratory table.
2. Confirm that the diverging rails are correctly positioned and clean.
3. Place the double cone at the lower narrow end of the track as per the activity guide.
4. Release the cone gently without pushing it forcefully.
5. Observe the cone appearing to roll upward along the rails.
6. Ask students to identify the path of the cone’s centre of gravity.
7. Repeat the demonstration and compare apparent motion with actual centre-of-gravity movement.
8. Store the cone and track safely after use.

Safety note: Use under teacher supervision. Do not drop the cone, force it along the rails, use the model on an unstable table, or allow students to place fingers in the rolling path.

Care & Maintenance

• Store the cone and track in a dry, protected place.
• Keep rail surfaces clean so the cone rolls smoothly.
• Do not bend rails or change their alignment unless the product design permits adjustment.
• Remove from use if the cone is dented, rails are loose, the base is unstable or rolling motion becomes inconsistent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Anti Gravity Double Cone Model used for?

An Anti Gravity Double Cone Model is used to demonstrate apparent uphill motion, centre of gravity, rolling motion and mechanical paradox concepts.

Does the cone really move against gravity?

No. The cone only appears to roll uphill. Its centre of gravity moves downward because of the double-cone shape and diverging rail arrangement.

What material is the double cone made from?

The cone material is not confirmed. Add wood, metal, plastic or any other material only after checking the final product specification.

Does the model include a track?

Track inclusion is expected for demonstration use, but final contents must be confirmed. List rail track, base or activity guide only if supplied.

Can this model be used in school physics labs?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school and college demonstrations on centre of gravity, stability and potential energy.

Why is it called an anti-gravity cone?

It is called anti-gravity because it appears to roll uphill, but the correct physics explanation is that the centre of gravity descends during motion.
