Principle

The length of metal tubes or rods alters when heating them up or cooling them down. If a hot tube is firmly fixed in place then great forces will act upon its holders when cooling down.
In this experiment one side of the holder consists of a rigid pin made of cast iron which is destroyed by this force when cooling down the tube.

Benefits

Simple and clear setup
Achievement of an elemental learning objective with little effort
