Ducati Laboratory Fisica in Moto

In the September of 2008 Ducati it has opened to the public the laboratory Physics in Motion, a didactic and experimental run realised in collaboration with the Lyceum Malpighi of Bologna, which lets to all the students of the superior averages include the secrets of the technique and of the motorcycle dynamics.

Inside the laboratory, through the utilisation of some interactive machinery, it is possible to try the concreteness of the physical beginnings studied to school and the connection between these and the design of motion Dukedoms. In the first part of the run confidence seizes itself with the mechanics, taking a motor to pieces, testing the functioning of the shock absorbers, moving a camshaft Desmo. 

In the second zone it goes on to examine the dynamic behaviour of the vehicles, while in the third one here is compared by some fundamental aspects of the guide: the gyroscopic effect of the previous wheel that holds in balance the vehicles to two wheels, the alternate motion of the pistons and the sequence of the bursts in the motor, the difference between couple and power.

Fisica in Moto is a project really educationally and amusingly, that explains in practical and intelligible way what you mean to plan and to build the motion that each day we use to go to the work or to run in footprint. The laboratory is opened from Monday until Friday, the visit và booked on the site of the Foundation Ducati, and he understands also the stopping place inside the chain of assembling.
