Van Allen Radiation Belt Educational Model

This model is a to-scale, modular, tactile, & open-source educational model of the Van Allen radiation belts (VARBs). The belts are scaled accurately relative to Earth, and the base model can be printed in three different states -- Quiet, 3-Belt, and Normal -- to show how the VARBs actually vary. Two modules are also included. The first is a module that attaches magnetically onto an open face of the base model to show either the Quiet or 3-belt configuration. The second is a gyroscopic particle…
