PhysGate, an infrared (IR)-based photogate, is the ultimate tool to record how an object appears and disappears with time. A lego exterior provides robust mounting of the PhysGate to fit a range of user-defined orientations and applications. With a response time as fast as 1 µs, it finds its application in reading optical encoders as well. Works like a charm!
This analog PhysInstrument offers high sensitivity, even to semi-transparent mediums, and is compact and adaptable for various installations. It connects seamlessly with PhysLogger and features a Lego casing and bracket for easy setup. Additionally, the device is hot pluggable, providing convenience for real-time use and adjustments.
This device is perfect for learning about pendulums and oscillators, calculating gravity by timing free fall, investigating collisions and laws of motion on an air track, determining motor rotation speed as an optical tachometer, and exploring various principles in rotational mechanics.
