Thank you for this share! It's as fun as it is interesting. I found their article explaining the calculations and formulas they used for the simulation. If you or anyone would like to see it too, I shared it below. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do...
I have tried to do research myself and have only found given scenarios but no formulas to calculate my own. I am currently taking an introduction to astronomy course and this subject is outside the curriculum.
I figured it would be more complicated than I hoped. Thanks for pointing out the...
I want to make a interactive simulation that shows whether or not an asteroid will hit the surface of the Earth. It would have 2 sliders for you to control the speed and mass of the asteroid. The simulation will output "yes" or "no" if the asteroid hits the surface.
Is there a mathematical...
Thank you for pointing out the Gauss description in the link (and the fact that I'll be using 2 magnets) and explaining the time. That makes things a lot easier and in fact with new calculations reveal more reasonable numbers:
2 magnets with 1.35 Teslas, area of 0.00145161 m^2, and 4.5 volts...
The only materials I have currently are what I linked to but next time I'll look into getting an iron core. For now I'll definitely reduce the distance between the magnet and coil. Completely forgot about that, thanks!
I'm trying to make my own simple magnet generator project
Like these:

with the following materials:
2 1.5X1.5X1/8" square magnets

Hello physics community!
My name is Justin, currently a college student endeavoring to be a mechanical engineer for major, physicists for interest, an inventor by hobby and a participant in a global project that'll save or help the world one day as a life career.
I'm hoping to learn and...
