Monkey and Hunter Demo

Classic demonstration of independent horizontal and vertical motion

The Monkey and Hunter doesn’t just explain a famous problem—it proves it.  Arbor Scientific’s version is an exclusive, classroom-ready apparatus that lets students see why the projectile always hits the falling target. Aim the launcher directly at the “monkey,” release the plunger, and—at the instant the ball is fired—the electromagnet releases the target into free fall. When students watch the ball strike the falling disk every time, the math suddenly makes sense—and the power of physics becomes unforgettable.

Why Teachers Love Monkey and Hunter Demo

• Discrepant yet definitive: A dramatic demo that settles doubts instantly.
• Perfect timing built in: The electromagnet releases the target exactly at launch for consistent outcomes.
• Clear, repeatable setup: Laser sight simplifies alignment and improves reliability.
• Exclusive, educator-designed: Purpose-built for classrooms to demonstrate a foundational idea with confidence.

Note: Ring stand and C-clamp are not included; clamping the base is required for accurate results.
