How Gas Lanterns Work
A brief description of how Gas Lanterns work. This site is part of HowStuffWorks.com.

How Gas Turbine Engines ( Work
A brief description of how Gas Turbine Engines ( Jet Engines) work. From HowStuffWorks.com.

Special Processes of an Ideal Gas
Java Applet simulating isobaric, isovolumetric or isothermal expansions of an ideal gas

Temperature and Thermal Properties
Good revision guide aimed at UK A level standard, covers topics such as temperature scales, heat capacity, gas laws etc.

Particle Speed And Temperature
Demonstration of how temperature, pressure and volume affects the motion of gas particles in a balloon. NB. You can 'pop' the balloon!!

Applied thermodynamics
Describes the laws of thermodynamics, and applications such as gas turbines and air conditioning with definitions of related terms.

Kinetic theory simulation
The site gives a practical demonstration on the collisions between gas molecules by varying the temperature and volume. Java applet.

Thermodynamics / pressure chamber.
Allows you to perform gas law experiments including density / molecular weight variations. A very good site for demonstrating variables in the gas laws.

One-dimensional one-atom gas
This is a very simple model of a gas. Here, a single atom bounces elastically in a one-dimensional cavity. It will continue to bounce at the same speed forever if the piston does not move.

Molecular Model for an Ideal Gas
A delightful animation of an ideal gas in a container. The number of particles, their velocity, pressure and the width of the container can be varied. The volume is then given.
