Equiangular Spiral

Science Caravan

Transport dimensions: 540×440×640mm, Display dimensions: 540×440×1450mm. Exhibit composition: Consists of an ABS plastic molded box, ABS plastic molded base, ABS milky white plastic molded operation surface with color silk-screened flip instruction board, handwheel, mechanical transmission structure, and colored + high-transparency acrylic protective cover. It is a recommended exhibit from the PopsciCat Exhibit Store. The exhibit visually demonstrates the formation process of the Archimedean spiral (constant-speed spiral), helping to understand the curve produced by the superposition of two uniform motions. The constant-speed spiral, also known as the Archimedean spiral, is formed by a moving point performing uniform linear motion along a ray while the ray rotates around a fixed point at a constant angular velocity; the trajectory left by the moving point is the constant-speed spiral. For each rotation of the curve, the radial increase is constant, and the spacing between adjacent spirals is equal. This curve is applied in everyday objects such as old vinyl record grooves, spiral mosquito coils, and mechanical cams. Visitors rotate the handwheel to drive the internal mechanical structure in a compound uniform motion and observe the spiral trajectory traced by the moving endpoint. The exhibit is a purely hand-cranked mechanical transmission exhibit without electronic control, suitable for the Beauty of Mathematics exhibition area, science popularization caravans, and small to medium-sized permanent museums.
