Products for Education

PortaLAB™

In coordination with our business partner Ideation Systems, LLC and with the financial support of the National Science Foundation, Infinity Physics is a driving force behind the technology in a series of products to be released as PortaLAB™. These products are at the forefront of the revolution of portable education and address the challenge of integrating a physical experience of lessons in a remote and transportable setting. Each hardware kit being developed will provide a series of progressive experiments encouraging increasing depth of modeling the physics being witnessed.

The first hardware kit to be released consists of an electromagnetic coil that is controlled to suspend an iron sphere in a prescribed fashion. This PortaLAB Levitator experiment kit is being offered in two different styles. PL-L20 targets an economical opportunity for students and educators to access this hardware system. PL-L80 packages the same system in an attractive, rugged aluminum housing for protection and self-contained storage. For more information, including how to purchase and details of the electronics and software designed to facilitate lessons with this hardware, visit PortaLAB™ Levitator on Ideation Systems website.

PortaLAB software interface

All levitator products run from the common levitator Graphical User Interface (GUI). The GUI has many features including the application forcing functions such as the sine wave shown. The GUI design will be the basis for future PEL family GUI interfaces with common improvements and modifications.

National Instruments (NI) is the developer of LabVIEW software platform and associated hardware. They are a world leader in distributed data acquisition and control and have provided support to the development of PortaLAB™. The PortaLAB™ concept and introductory products were presented at NI Week 2013.

Mini Systems

Developing upon the PortaLAB™ platform that is designed to support experiments around a single concept, Mini Systems are arrangements of hardware elements (each one potentially capable of being its own PortaLAB™) into a system experiment representing more complex capabilities. Mini Systems demonstrate problems likely to be encountered in the workplace and focus on cutting edge technologies.
