Mini Rolling Rails

PIRA: 5H40.72

Materials: Gen Con, Alligator Clips, Mini Rolling Rail Set

This demo is to show the lorentz force in action. This is done by having the the gen con connected to the rolling rails then having the little rail on the rolling rail base. If you use the gen con to send current through the little rail there is magnets in the base allowing the rail to move due to the lorentz force.
