EISCO Aluminum Ballistics Car with Plastic Wheels

EISCO ballistics car is used for study of the dynamics of projectiles. The car has a metallic barrel mounted vertically for expelling a ball, with a spring-loaded piston arrangement at two settings for ejecting a ball to two different heights (ball included). The car is made of aluminum, which resists corrosion and tarnishing, and is lightweight, and has plastic wheels with ball bearings for minimizing friction. The car includes a steel ball and a lock pin with a cord for demonstration purposes, and instructions for use. Steel is a good general purpose material, and has better weldability and increased rust resistance over wrought iron. The car measures 28.0 x 14.0 x 19.0cm (L x W x H). (L is length, the horizontal distance from left to right; W is width, the horizontal distance from front to back; H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point.) The car is suitable for high school or college students, or ages 13 to 21.

Science education products incorporate applied math and science principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science education kits and products alongside science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities. Science education projects include a broad range of activities, such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics, robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.

EISCO Scientific manufactures and supplies lab equipment for education and industry. The company, founded in 1968 and headquartered in Rochester, NY, meets International Organization of Standardization (ISO) standard 9001: 2000.
