- | The magnetic field of the Earth is simulated using a closed solenoid (Helmholtz coil) producing controlled magnetic flux directed through its vertical setting plane (the working plane). Such a loop acts as a simplified single-axis simulator of the Earth’s magnetic field. | + | The magnetic field of the Earth is simulated using a magnetic coil, producing controlled magnetic flux directed through its vertical setting plane (the working plane).

The current loop is set on the floor and enables the Orbicraft construction set to be suspended on a thread so that the mass center of the construction set would end up in the working plane – the equatorial plane of the globe, about 80 cm above the floor, while letting the set rotate freely. | The current loop is set on the floor and enables the Orbicraft construction set to be suspended on a thread so that the mass center of the construction set would end up in the working plane – the equatorial plane of the globe, about 80 cm above the floor, while letting the set rotate freely. | ||
