Wireless Dynamics Sensor System
|
The Vernier Wireless Dynamics System has
earned an excellent five-star rating from the Institute of Physics'
Physics Education
magazine (vol. 41 no.6, November 2006). "Oh what fun can be
had with this! My wife and I enjoyed our rides at Bridlington seaside collecting
data as we dropped, swung and rotated"...

Force.
Acceleration.
Altitude.
All in One.
All Wireless.
Last year, we introduced a new, low-friction
Vernier Dynamics System. This year, we eliminated another source of
friction—the wires. With the new Wireless Dynamics Sensor System, your
carts will be free to roll wherever the experiment takes them!

 Terrific experiments that can be carried out
using the Wireless Dynamics Sensor System:
|
 |
The Wireless
Dynamics Sensor System combines a 3-axis accelerometer, altimeter, and
force sensor into one unit that communicates wirelessly with your
computer using Bluetooth® wireless technology. You can also use it as a
stand-alone data logger. It's more than just a wireless sensor; it's a
data-collection system completely free of cables. |
|
Force Sensor
Custom load cell provides accurate, repeatable results.
|
Altimeter
Record changes in altitude for roller-coaster physics.
|
3-Axis
Accelerometer
Three orthogonally mounted sensors let you measure
acceleration in all directions.
|
Wireless
Communication
Bluetooth® wireless technology transmits data to a supported device.
|
 |
|
Start/Stop
Button
Simple,
one-button operation allows you to start and stop data collection when
away from the computer.
|
Multiple Mounting
Options
Mount the device in almost any orientation using standard hardware.
|
On-Board Memory
Retains data even after the unit is turned off.
|
Additional Hook
Allows the device to be mounted in-line for tension and pendulum
experiments.

A Complete System
The Wireless Dynamics Sensor System includes a high capacity
Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery and charger, AAA alkaline battery
holder (allows you to use AAA batteries instead of the rechargeable
battery), bumpers for collisions, hooks for mounting the unit in
different positions, mounting hardware for Vernier and other dynamics
carts, and manual. |
 Amusement
Park Physics
If you plan to take your students to an amusement park, you will find
the following products useful: Amusement Park Physics
by Nathan Unterman
 This
book provides a wealth of information about planning an amusement park
study program. Included are student sheets for activities that can be
performed at amusement parks or carnivals. Activities and sample data
are provided for those who do not have access to an amusement park.

Data Vest
 The
Data Vest makes hands-free collection at an amusement park or playground
easy. The vest has a front pouch for the LabPro, CBL 2 or Wireless
Dynamics Sensor System. It has two inside pockets for the sensors and
side straps to hold the vest in place. Slots in the interface pouch
provide access to the interface so that data can be easily transferred
to a computer or handheld after the ride.
