Abstract

The educational model of Einstein's lift consists of a table suspended from an electromagnet. A flexible support is attached to the table. A metal ball is on the support and deforms it. When the electromagnet is deenergized, the table falls, the system goes to a weightless state and the support throws the ball up. A camera carries out frame-by-frame photography of the free-falling model. The resulting photographs are imported into a computer, projected on to a screen with a multimedia projector and analyzed in a lecture with the audience. The experiment proves that a thrown up body moves rectilinearly and uniformly relative to the free-falling model of Einstein's lift. In the second version of the experiment we replace the ball with a water drop lying on the unwettable surface of the table of the model.
