1E30.00Coriolis Effect
1E30.10draw the coriolis curve - verticalPIRA 1000
1E30.10draw the coriolis curve - verticalAJP 34(1),xviiMount a rotating disk vertically, drive a pen on a cart at constant velocity in front of the disk. The speeds of the disk and cart are variable.

1E30.11draw the coriolis curve1E30.11Place a poster board circle on a turntable move a magic marker across in a straight line.
1E30.11draw the curveMb-28Move a magic marker in a straight line across a rotating disc.
1E30.11draw the curve12-6.6A cart on a track with a marker passes in front of and draws on a large disc that can be rotated.
1E30.12coriolis ink drop letterAJP 50(11),967AJP 50(4),381 should have referenced AJP 27(6),429.
1E30.12coriolisAJP 50(4),381Turn a nearly vertical sheet as a drop of ink is running down it.
1E30.13coriolis overhead transparencyPIRA 1000
1E30.13coriolis overhead transparency1E30.13Same as AJP 46(7),759.
1E30.13coriolis machineAJP 46(7),759A clear plastic disk is placed over a inertial reference frame marked with a constant velocity path. Draw marks on the plastic disk while turning through equal angles.
1E30.14coriolis spark traceTPT 2(7),336The PSSC air puck is used to give a spark trace on a rotating table.
1E30.20coriolis gunPIRA 1000
1E30.20coriolis gun1E30.20Same as Mb-25.
1E30.20coriolis gunMb-25A spring loaded gun at the center of a 4' disc is shot at a target first at rest and then while spinning.
1E30.20coriolis gun12-6.1A clamped dart gun is fired by an instructor sitting on a revolving chair into a target board.
1E30.20coriolis gun12-6.2A spring gun at the center of a rotating table fires into a target at the edge.
1E30.21coriolisTPT 18(6),458Go to a merry-go-round and walk on it. You will feel a very strange "force".
1E30.24spinning Coriolis globeMb-27A ball on a string is threaded through the pole of a spinning globe. Pull on the string and the ball moves to higher latitudes and crosses the latitude lines.
1E30.26coriolis dish and TVAJP 55(11),1010A ball oscillates in a spherical dish at rest, and follows various curved paths when the dish is rotated at different speeds. A TV camera is mounted to the rotating frame. More.
1E30.27coriolis rotating platform and tvAJP 41(2),247A puck is launched on a rotating platform and the motion is followed with a TV
1E30.28coriolis ball on turntablePIRA 1000
1E30.28Coriolis effectDisc 06-14Roll a ball across a slowly rotating turntable.
1E30.30leaky bucket on turntableMb-26A can with a hole is mounted above a rotating table. As the table turns, the stream of water is deflected.
1E30.32drop ball on turntable12-6.5A mass falls on a disc first while it is rotating and then when it is stationary. Difference in point of impact is noted.
1E30.33coriolis trajectory12-6.3A ball describing an arc is released first in a stationary coordination system and then in a rotating system.
1E30.34coriolis water tableAJP 33(8),iiiA flat board rotates in a horizontal plane with a flexible tube full of flowing water running lengthwise. The tube deflects upon rotation.
1E30.34coriolis water tableTPT 3(4),171A flexible rubber tube with water flowing in it is stretched across a disc which can be rotated. The tube deflects when rotated.
1E30.34coriolis water table12-6.4A flexible rubber tube with water flowing in it is stretched across a disc which can be rotated. The tube deflects.
1E30.35rotating water flow tableAJP 58(4),381Food coloring used to mark flow is introduced at the edges of a circular rotating tank with a center drain hole. A rotating overhead TV camera allows motion in the rotating frame to be viewed.
1E30.36coriolisTPT 10(9),532A pan of water on a turntable has a recirculating pump with an inlet and exit of opposite sides of the pan. Floats above these areas rotate in opposite directions as the pan of water is spun.
1E30.50rotating TV cameraPIRA 1000
1E30.50rotation table with tv1E30.50
1E30.51rotating TV camera12-6.7A TV camera is rotated in front of an oscilloscope displaying a slow ellipse. Vary the camera rotation.
1E30.61vacuum cleaner12-6.8Cover the exhaust of an old vacuum: the current decreases as the RPM increases. Demonstrates transformation of vectors from a moving coordinate system to a rest frame. In one frame the torque does no work, in the other with open exhaust torque is responsible for the entire power.
1E30.71spinning dancer - coriolis analysisAJP 38(3),390The spinning dancer, usually treated as an angular momentum problem, is used as a coriolis example.
