Newton Color Disc with 6V Motor

• The Newton's Color Disc is designed to help students understand the concept of color mixing and the relationship between colors. When spun at high speeds, the disc appears to turn white due to the observer's persistence of vision blending the 7 different color hues on the wheel together
• Provides a hands-on approach to learning, allowing students to physically experiment with color mixing and observe the results. This type of active learning can be more engaging and memorable than simply reading about color theory in a textbook
• Motor-driven disc provides more even, effortless rotation compared to hand-driven models. Features a control knob to regulate the speed of rotation. Required a 6V power source, not included
• Features a mounting bracket with thumbscrew for attaching the color disc to support rods up to 12mm in diameter
• Disk and motor housing are made from durable, rigid plastic able to withstand the wear and tear of daily use in the classroom

The Newton's Color Disc is a classic physics demonstration tool that is designed to help students understand the concept of color mixing and the relationship between colors. The disc features 7 different hues arranged in a circular pattern, making it easy for students to recognize and distinguish between different colors. When spun at high speeds, the disc appears to turn white due to the observer's persistence of vision blending the 7 different color hues on the wheel together, suggesting that white light is comprised of the different colors. The motor-driven disc provides more even, effortless rotation compared to hand-driven models. It also features a control knob to regulate the speed of rotation. The color disc comes with a mounting bracket with thumbscrew for attaching it to support rods up to 12mm in diameter. It is made from durable, rigid plastic that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use in the classroom. Disc Diameter: 6.75"; Motor size: 4"L x 4.3"W x 3"H.
