Hello, I am currently trying to come up with an idea for a project for my advanced physics lab. I have thought to do supercooling/heating, superfluids, and perhaps a rail gun. I have access to a very nice high-speed camera, so I would hope to find an experiment that will utilize it (the rail...

A couple of trips to the store this weekend and I have decided to make my own Venn diagram.

Hi. I was hoping you guys could help me for my university dissertation project. It's basically a questionnaire about climate change, it shouldn't take any longer than 10 minutes (or quicker) and it would be really helping me. If you have any comments about it please feel free to message me on...

I'm interested in designing a control system that will sense the temperature of my charcoal smoker, compare that value to a predetermined value (which the user is able to set) and then, if necessary, turn a fan on to stoke the fire to raise the temperature. This system would be constant...

Hi guys, I'm really struggling with the beginning of my PhD project and could use some opinions how I should proceed. And also just to express my feelings in a written form. So in a few weeks I'm about to officially become a full-time PhD student working in a research group where I have...

I could not remember how it was called. This was a project on the web intended to solve problems in big teams. Everybody could contribute with his own skills. I remember that a theorem was proved in this way and published under the name of this project. Do you remember the name of this...

My hypothesis is that increasing rail length will increase the distance a projectile travels, ( which is true) unfortunately I can't quite make sense of physics behind railguns to understand how to prove the hypothesis mathematically. Thank you for your time.

Hey there, First of all I want to apologize for my English, haha. So for a project I came up with the idea of making diamond. It sounds a bit impossible, but I've found some good theories (and proven) experiments. 1 is with pure alcohol, and the other one is about making diamond with a...

This is a description of my requirements. I'm thinking about a trebuchet or a spring loaded device, possibly even a pneumatic one. However I have to use the given 5lb weight, any ideas on how? And also I'm a little confused on the "energy transfers". Help anyone? Thank you! 1. Each team...
