 GDJ’s new Physics Roller Coaster is designed to accurately utilize both the physics and engineering behind some of the nation’s most popular amusement park rides.
More than a simple child’s toy, this is a working roller coaster. Built to last and designed to produce repeatable, quantitative data. The roller coaster features a 3-component accelerometer and wheel speed sensor mounted directly to the coaster car. Data is streamed in "real time" to a computer using an RF transmitter. The LabVIEW™ software package provides students an appealing and accurate representation of the various forces acting on the coaster car at any given moment. The captured data will allow students to accurately measure and investigate the vectoring forces, g-loads, and the acceleration of the coaster car as it travels around the track.
 GDJ’s new Physics Roller Coaster let your students move beyond demonstration, to true application.
The Physics Roller Coaster provides your students with access to the same professional level, hardware, software, and data acquisition systems, and procedures used throughout the industry. The Physics Roller Coaster gives your students the kinds of real-world experiences that will be useful far beyond the classroom.
