Magdeburg Hemisphere
Product Code : SCL-PLE-10432
The Magdeburg Hemisphere Apparatus from Lab Glassware Manufacturer, based in Ambala, Haryana, India, is a physics laboratory device used for demonstrating atmospheric pressure, vacuum force and the effect of air pressure on sealed vessels. Lab Glassware Manufacturer has manufactured and exported physics lab equipment since 1982 to schools, colleges and STEM laboratories across countries including Guyana, Suriname, and Belize in the Circum-Caribbean Mainland region.
Quick answer: Two hemispheres are joined and evacuated, and the resulting atmospheric pressure holds them together with surprising force, giving students a dramatic, hands-on demonstration of air pressure.
