You need a vacuum pump, and we do not sell one

Read this first: this is the bell jar, plate and electric bell. The vacuum pump is a separate item, it is not included, and we do not currently stock it. Without a pump this apparatus does nothing.

The supplier specifies vacuum pump SER1014149. That is not on our site. If you already have a working laboratory vacuum pump this set will work with it; if you do not, buy the pump first or ask us to quote one before you order this.

What the demonstration shows. A ringing bell sits sealed inside the jar. As air is pumped out, the sound fades and eventually disappears while the striker is plainly still moving. Sound needs a medium; light does not. It is one of the few physics demonstrations where students watch a thing happen and cannot argue with it.

One thing the supplier is unclear about. The product name says "with Plate & Bell - Electric", but their own description talks about a ringing alarm clock under the jar. We do not know whether the sound source shipped is an electric bell, a clock, or both, so we are not going to describe it as either. Ask us and we will confirm exactly what is in the box before you order.

$200.00. Made for demonstration rather than class sets - one per science department.

FAQs

Yes - a vacuum pump. It is not in the box, and we do not currently stock the one the supplier specifies (SER1014149). Without a pump this apparatus will not do anything.
Almost certainly, if it is a working laboratory vacuum pump with a compatible connection. We have not verified fittings against specific pumps, so send us your pump model and we will check with the supplier before you order.
We do not know, and that is the honest answer. The product name says electric bell; the supplier's description describes an alarm clock. We have asked them and will confirm before you order.
That sound needs a medium. As the air leaves the jar the sound fades to nothing while the striker keeps moving - so the students can see the source working and hear nothing.
No. At $200.00 and needing a pump, this is one per science department, used as a front-of-room demonstration.
