This Apparatus provides an interactive and exciting demonstration that allows students to visualize the
mechanism by which massive objects are attracted to each other.
1. Assemble the four long black tubes using the bolts and ball knobs provided as shown:
Ensure all bolts are secure and inspect all joints for signs of damage before continuing
2.
Bend the assembly into a circle and connect one end to the other using the remaining bolt (Two
people are recommended).
Under no circumstances should the frame be left bent without
all bolts in place.
The lower structure requires no mechanical fastenings and relies on the
friction fit of the tubes in their respective joints.
3.
Assemble the 4 shorter black tubes into the 4-way junction and place the flat on the floor with
the 90° elbows facing upwards.
4.
Use the white tubes to connect the base to the circular frame.
Carefully inspect the joints and tubes for signs of damage before assembling the top tube. If there are
any signs of damage do not use. Exercise care when assembling and disassembling the apparatus.
The apparatus is intended to support a maximum of 2kg. Do not exceed this limit.
