Interested in robotics and astro physics

AI Thread Summary
A first-year BTech student seeks project ideas in robotics and astrophysics, expressing interest in working with a team of two. Suggestions include developing a wireless-controlled machine, such as a car or jet, with potential progression to aircraft design. One participant shares their experience in a workshop focused on creating a solar car, which could serve as a foundation for a solar-powered wireless robot. The discussion emphasizes practical applications of robotics in renewable energy. Engaging in such projects can enhance skills and knowledge in both fields.

hi everyone,
i am a 1st year btech student. iam interested in robotics and astro physics. i want to know what project i should takeup.we are a team of 2.

Nice, for robotics why not can't you try a machine (car,jet) controlled wirelessly. Then after u can develop it to aircraft. For example, lastly i assisted in a workshop on designing a solar car which will be the base of creation of a wireless robot powered by solar energy.
 
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
