Experiments in a vacuum

What is plasma and why does it glow? How strong is a vacuum? What can an electron beam do and how is a solar cell made?

Find answers to these questions at the VON ARDENNE experiment booth on the meadow behind the Hörsaalzentrum building of TU Dresden.

VON ARDENNE develops and builds special vacuum coating machines, which are used worldwide in high-tech industries such as photovoltaics or the semiconductor industry.

Description

What happens to a marshmallow under vacuum?

At our experiment booth on the meadow behind the Hörsaalzentrum building of TU Dresden, you can do lots of fun experiments in a vacuum.

You can also check how strong the vacuum is with the Magdeburg hemispheres and find out how the technology behind our high-tech coatings works.
You can even test what our coatings can do. Although they are hard to see, some can conduct electricity and others can keep heat out.

Anyone who completes all the experiments can pick up a small surprise.

We look forward to curious visitors of all ages.
