Product Code : SCL-PLE-10456
The Magdeburg Hemisphere Apparatus from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is a physics laboratory apparatus used for demonstrating atmospheric pressure, vacuum formation and the force produced by air-pressure difference.
Quick Answer: The Magdeburg Hemisphere Apparatus recreates the historic Magdeburg hemispheres experiment, showing how removing air from between two joined hemispheres creates a pressure difference strong enough to hold them together, vividly demonstrating the force of atmospheric pressure.

A Classic Demonstration With Modern Manufacturing
The original 1654 Magdeburg hemispheres experiment used teams of horses to try to pull evacuated hemispheres apart; the modern classroom version scales the same principle down to a size safely operated by students, while preserving the vivid demonstration of how strong atmospheric pressure really is once a vacuum is created. It is often taught alongside other vacuum and pressure apparatus in the same physics unit. Lab Glassware Manufacturer also supplies the Magdeburg Hemisphere, an alternative size or configuration of the same classic apparatus.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Magdeburg Hemisphere Apparatus demonstrate?
