Mini Projectile Launcher – Physics Lab Ballistics Demonstrator with Adjustable Angles & Spring Tensions

The Mini Projectile Launcher is a compact, precise device designed to demonstrate the physics of projectile motion, velocity, and trajectory in the classroom or lab. This versatile apparatus projects 16 mm steel balls at repeatable speeds, making it ideal for experiments on motion, gravity, and parabolic trajectories.

With its adjustable protractor and plumb line, teachers and students can set launch angles from 45° downward to straight upward, allowing for a wide range of investigations. Three selectable spring tension settings provide consistent launch speeds with ranges of 1m, 1.5m, and 2m.

The launcher features a magnetic piston that ensures the ball launches straight without touching the sides, and a smooth cable release system that prevents jerking for highly repeatable results. The unit can be placed on a flat surface or securely clamped to a bench for stability during demonstrations.

Perfect for physics education, the Mini Projectile Launcher makes projectile motion both engaging and measurable for students.
