See saw water pump
Product Code : SCL-MLI-12537
The See saw water pump (SKU SCL-MLI-12537) is a working model that shows the link between reciprocating motion, fluid pressure and water transfer. A wooden see-saw is connected to two syringe plungers, and as it rocks up and down the syringes create alternating pressure changes that move water through a transparent pipe. A clear cuboid plastic container acts as the reservoir, so pupils can watch the whole suction and discharge process. It needs no electricity or battery. JaincoLab makes this see-saw water pump model for physics lessons and exhibitions.
Specifications
The model has a wooden see-saw, two 3 ml syringes, transparent tubing and a clear cuboid plastic reservoir; the overall size is confirmed on the quotation.

Pumping demonstrations with the see-saw model
Because every part is transparent, pupils can follow the water as the syringes draw it in and push it out, which explains suction and discharge in a simple reciprocating pump.
