Hodson Induction Kit

The Hodson Induction Kit allows students to explore and test concepts related to Magnetic Induction, Transformers, and AC/DC Motor theory. With this kit, students can create their own coils, construct iron circuits, and conduct experiments using low voltage power supplies and amp and volt meters.

Kit Includes:

• 1 set “U” laminations, 16mm thick, mounted in plastic frame
• 1 set “I” laminations, 16mm thick, mounted in plastic frame
• 1 x Plastic frame, empty, to carry rotor and to hold iron cores and device
• 2 x Plastic frame, small, to hold short cores and to carry disc axle
• 1 x Iron bar, 16x16 square x 96mm long
• 2 x Iron bars, 16x16 square x 48mm long
• 4 x Coil bobbins for winding coils. Red, Yellow, Blue, Green
• 1 x Handle for holding bobbins during winding
• 1 x Induction motor, AC, laminated frame, rotor, ball races and end shields
• 1 x Reel of insulated wire, large, for winding all coil bobbins
• 1 x Instruction sheet and experiment manual

Packed in a separate zip bag:

• 1 set Cables
• 1 pair red/black, 2 each yellow and blue, with stackable banana plugs
• 1 set 3 red / 3 black Alligator clips
• 4 x Sockets, brass with lugs and screws, to make 4mm sockets for permanent coils.
• 1 x Rotor, plastic (2 halves), to carry small magnets, for studying basic AC motor theory
• 2 x Small cylindrical permanent magnets for placing into plastic rotor
• 2 x Bar magnets, 75mm long, for induction experiments
• 1 x Disc, aluminium, with rubber center, for eddy current experiments
• 1 x Axle for supporting and spinning aluminium disc
• 1 x Ring of aluminium for ‘Thompson’s Ring’ demonstration
• 8 x Elastic bands to stretch tightly between holder legs to pull core together
• 1 x Plate, aluminium, to carry ‘Hodson’ DC motor assembly
• 1 x Magnetic compass for determining polarity of magnetic poles.
