The image of printed words is transmitted through a bundle of approximately 25,000 coherent optical fibers and projected onto a screen.
Tuning Forks: Resonance & Beat Freq...
MIT Department of Physics Technical Services Group
Added 1 year ago | 00:01:51 | 2563 views
Two identical tuning forks and sounding boxes are placed next to one another. Striking one tuning fork will cause the other to resonate at the same frequency. When a weight is attached to one tuning fork, they are no longer i...
MIT-henge
Added 1 year ago | 00:03:19 | 2903 views
A light-hearted look at the phenomenon of "MIT-henge," the twice-a-year alignment in which the setting sun lines up with the "infinite corridor" at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass.
Barkhausen Effect

Gyroscopes Made Easy
MIT Department of Physics Technical Services Group
Added 1 year ago | 00:29:09 | 3137 views
The motion of a gyroscope in response to an applied force is analyzed. TSG's gimbaled gyroscope is used to demonstrate.
Curie Point of Iron
MIT Department of Physics Technical Services Group
Added 1 year ago | 00:01:23 | 2880 views
A piece of iron is suspended with a copper wire at the height of one pole of a magnet. At first the iron is attracted to the magnet. The iron is then heated with a torch and eventually falls from the magnet. As the iron cools it will aga...
