On my senior project, I've figured out everything I need to measure all the parameters I needed EXCEPT force. I know that I need to use strain gauges, and I've used them in my instruments class with Labview and a DAQ. While I'm still using Labview, I'm now using an Arduino so things are a little...

Hey, I'm trying to make three LED lights that each are one of the primary colors of light. But, after discovering real fast that Radioshack doesn't sell the right kind, I asked my physics teacher for help. He said I need to go out and find the wavelengths of the three colors. And here I am! So...

So, my brother got back to me and this is what he said (which is basically what you two said): "Regarding your physics questions, let me fill you in on how a one-way mirror works. The glass in a one-way mirror has a thin coating of a reflective substance applied on one side. It is only...

I want this to take an outside light and glow. I thought having the reflective part of the one way glass to face toward the inside of the tube. I was wondering if shining a light into the tube would make it glow brighter having that one way glass effect and the light bouncing the mirrors. Gosh...

Hey everyone, I just got an idea today surfing the web on Wikipedia. I noticed that in Berlin (i think there) they have these light tubes that stick out of the ground that take the light from the sun outside and the light goes through the tube and lights up the subway system. I thought it was...
