Ball and Hoop Apparatus

Ball and Hoop Apparatus

•  Ball and Hoop Apparatus shows the use of electromechanical servo systems for position and velocity control.  
•  The apparatus has a steel ball that rolls inside a hoop.  
•  The hoop is free to rotate, but controlled by a servomotor.  
•  Transducers give outputs of the hoop and ball positions.  
•  When the hoop is under angular position control, the ball moves like a cylindrical pendulum.  
•  This allows students to use it as a model for the study of liquid slop dynamics.  
•  It also works as a model to show liquid slop problems, for example: aircraft missile fuel storage, fuel tankers and industrial pumping systems.
