About This Product

After the hemispheres are joined and evacuated with a vacuum pump, students find they cannot pull them apart by hand, and they separate easily once air is let back in through the stopcock. The demonstration makes the size of atmospheric pressure tangible and leads into calculations of force from pressure and area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is air removed from the Magdebur Hemisphere?

A vacuum pump is connected by hose to the serrated nozzle of the chrome-plated brass stopcock, which is closed to hold the vacuum.
