Coriolis Force
Coriolis Force (Product Code: SLE/ETM/15) is a benchtop apparatus used to show the Coriolis force by making a jet of water visibly deflect inside a rotating frame of reference, in physics and engineering laboratories. Students control the arm’s speed and direction of rotation and the pump rate from dials and a digital display on the base unit. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
Key Details

What Is the Coriolis Force Apparatus Used For?
The Coriolis effect explains why winds curve across the Earth, why long-range projectiles drift and why fluids behave unexpectedly in rotating machinery, yet it is hard to picture from equations alone. Here the whole reference frame spins: the water tank rides on the rotating arm, the submersible pump fires a jet across it, and anyone watching sees the jet bend away from a straight line as soon as the arm turns.
Students can reverse the direction of rotation and watch the deflection swap sides, raise the speed to see a stronger effect, or change the pump rate to alter the jet velocity. Those three variables make it a memorable physics demonstration kit for dynamics and fluid mechanics lectures. Fill the tank to a sensible level and check that the counterbalance is in place before starting rotation.
OEM Manufacturer
This Coriolis Force apparatus is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, whose trading name is ScienceLab, as the OEM at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Coriolis Force apparatus show?
The Coriolis Force apparatus shows a jet of water deflecting when the arm carrying the water tank rotates. The deflection is due to the Coriolis force, a fictitious force that appears to act on objects moving within a rotating frame of reference.
How is the water jet produced?
In the Coriolis Force apparatus SLE/ETM/15, the transparent water tank on the rotating arm houses a submersible pump that produces the jet of water. The pump rate can be adjusted from the base unit to change the jet.
Which settings can students change?
Dials and a digital display on the Coriolis Force base unit let students adjust the speed of rotation, the direction of rotation and the pump rate. Changing each one shows how the deflection of the jet responds.
Why is there a counterbalance on the arm?
The rotating arm of the Coriolis Force apparatus carries both the transparent water tank and a counterbalance. Balancing the arm helps it rotate smoothly about the benchtop base unit while the demonstration runs.
Who manufactures the Coriolis Force apparatus?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) is the OEM manufacturer of the Coriolis Force apparatus SLE/ETM/15, which is made at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and sold direct by the maker.
