No, because I have my setup spinning, so x=0 and therefore what I get is t'=\gamma(t-vx/c^2)=\gamma*t but anyway, I see the problem. Reaching 223 km/s (for t=10h and x=1/100s) seems rather impossible (With the equation Janus has offerd, which is, of course, the correct one). Thank you all...

well, it's not really a fair, we just have to present the results of our experiments. So I would be able to run the experiment really long, i calculated 166.7 m/s for ten hours and 1/100th of a second time difference. And I guess I would have some pretty strong motors at hand, but anyway. I'll...

Sorry, I missed out something important. at the end of the final equation, there should be an *c^2, so that for plugging in t=1200 (= 20 minutes) and x= 1/100 of a second, i get approx. 5000 m/s. That is too much. And for every value of 10^-1 i multiply x, i get a tenth of the original value...

Hey everyone, I am new on this forum and don't really know how things work here, but I'll try my best. I am a junior in high school, so don't judge me too harshly if everything I did is complete garbage. But consider it. So, essentially, I want to do this experiment for a science fair, making...
