About This Product
Once the air between the two halves has been pumped out, the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere holds them together far more firmly than students expect. Opening the plastic stopcock releases the vacuum and the hemispheres come apart. The lightweight plastic makes the pair easy to handle and convenient to use, and the rubber O-ring inside keeps the joint sealed. School Educational Instrument can ship the Magdeburg Hemispheres Plastic to Colombia, Brunei, Haiti, Armenia, Jordan and Bulgaria.
