To observe the thermal length variation of different materials, hot steam is lead through tubes to heat them up. By using a heat dilatometer the thermal expansion of the tubes is measured.

The volume of a tube is expanded stepwise, keeping the temperature constant. In a pV diagram, pressure is depicted as a function of volume.

Cooling down a hot metal rod results in contraction of the rod. Resulting forces can be observed in this experiment.

When a bi-metal coil is heated, both metals expand at different velocities, resulting in an unrolling of the coil.

To avoid heat exchange of a system, the volume of a glass tube has to be changed rapidly. Volume and pressure are depicted within a pV diagram.

The experimental set up consists of five small vehicles which are coupled by springs. For this system, five different eigen modes may be found.

In this experiment the elastic and inelastic impact of a trolly can be investigated.

There is no possibility of canceling an irreversible process and at the same time of carrying all aids back to its starting situation.

In this experiment we observe simultaneously the trajectory of a projectile and a free falling object in the gravity field.

The experimental set up consists of five small vehicles which are coupled by springs. To observe the superposition of oscillations, the pendulum is forced to random oscillation. Using Fourier transformation, it may be seen that this oscillation is a superposition of five frequencies.
