Anti Gravity Cone Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-AM-11157
The Anti Gravity Cone creates the visual impression that a rolling body moves upward along an inclined track. The demonstration does not violate gravity: as the rails diverge, the geometry of the rolling body allows its center of mass to move downward even while its points of contact appear to travel upward.
This apparatus provides a memorable way to teach center of gravity, equilibrium, rolling motion, and mechanical behaviour. It complements other applied mechanics laboratory equipment used for practical demonstrations of force, motion, balance, and mechanical principles.
Key Features
Demonstrates center-of-gravity behaviour: Shows how the motion of an object depends on the movement of its center of mass.
Creates apparent uphill motion: The rolling body appears to move upward along the track while its center of mass actually descends.
Supports mechanics education: Useful for explaining balance, equilibrium, gravity, rolling motion, and geometry.
Hands-on visual learning: Makes an abstract mechanics concept immediately observable during classroom demonstrations.
Simple operating principle: Requires no complex experimental procedure for basic observation.
Suitable for repeated demonstrations: Relevant to physics lessons, STEM activities, science exhibitions, and teacher-led practical work.
Wooden educational configuration: The supplied product configuration uses a wooden track and rolling element.

The exact rail dimensions, cone geometry, angle, weight, wood species, finish, and any additional accessories should be confirmed from the final production specification before procurement.
Applications / Uses
Demonstrating the effect of center-of-gravity position on motion.
Explaining why apparent uphill motion can occur without violating gravity.
Teaching equilibrium, rolling motion, balance, and mechanics.
Supporting physics practical lessons and STEM activities.
Using as a visual demonstration during science exhibitions and classroom presentations.
Complementing other physics laboratory equipment for hands-on science instruction.
How to Use the Anti Gravity Cone
Place the apparatus on a stable and level laboratory bench.
Position the rolling cone or body at the appropriate end of the diverging rail track.
Release it gently without applying an additional push.
Observe the direction in which the rolling body appears to move.
Compare the rise of the contact points with the actual lowering of the center of mass.
Repeat the demonstration and discuss how rail spacing and object geometry influence the observed motion.
Safety note: Keep the apparatus away from the edge of the table. Do not drop the rolling body, and keep fingers clear of the moving path during demonstrations.
Care & Maintenance
Wipe the wooden surfaces with a soft, dry cloth after use.
Store the apparatus in a dry location away from excessive moisture.
Avoid impact, rough handling, and damage to the rail alignment.
Check that the track is free from dust or debris before each demonstration.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Anti Gravity Cone used for?
An Anti Gravity Cone is used to demonstrate center of gravity, balance, equilibrium, and apparent uphill rolling motion in physics and mechanics education.
Does the Anti Gravity Cone really move against gravity?
No. The apparatus creates an apparent uphill motion, but the center of mass of the rolling body moves downward. Gravity remains the driving force behind the motion.
Why does the cone appear to roll upward?
The diverging rails and the geometry of the rolling body allow its contact points to rise while its center of mass descends. This creates the visual impression of uphill movement.
Is the Anti Gravity Cone suitable for school physics laboratories?
Yes. It is suitable for supervised classroom demonstrations, STEM activities, mechanics lessons, and introductory physics experiments.
What concepts can students learn from this apparatus?
Students can study center of gravity, center of mass, equilibrium, rolling motion, balance, gravity, and the relationship between geometry and mechanical motion.
What should buyers confirm before ordering?
Buyers should confirm the dimensions, rolling-body geometry, track construction, material specification, supplied components, and any tender-specific requirements.
