Graduate Using capillary action to generate energy
Hello. I've had this idea floating around in my head for a long time and lately it's really been bugging me. Say you had a tray of water, and suspended another tray above that, and then you connected the two trays vertically with some very thin tubes, say, 0.2mm in diameter. Now, due to...- electrocake

High School Winning the Paper Tower Challenge
What about you make, say, 40 cylinders, each with a height of 5 inches. You take 20 of them and arrange them standing in a kind of hexagonal grid, like: .O O O O O O O .O O O And then you take another 10 and stack them on top such that each cylinder on the new layer sits upon 3 cylinders...- electrocake

Undergrad Can a Car Perform the Same on a Planet with Less Gravity?
Hello, I'm not much of a physics entrepeneur, but I was just discussing this with my friend, and hunger for a more difinitive answer came upon me: Say you design a car, and it does 0-60km/h in 2 seconds. Now say you want to redesign the car to do exactly the same results on planet Q, which...- electrocake
