Designing a Pocket-Sized Tracking Chip: Extra Credit Physics Project

AI Thread Summary
A pocket-sized tracking chip design is being developed as an extra credit physics project, with a focus on convenience and size. The creator seeks assistance in building the chip and has explored various online resources for ideas. Key considerations include the type of tracking technology, required range, and data transmission methods. The project may exceed the typical scope of a physics assignment, suggesting a significant engineering component. Input from others on these aspects would be beneficial for successful completion.

Right now I'm trying to design a tracking chip that is small and convenient. I want it to be able to fit in a pocket. I need help building it and I've looked all over the web for ideas. This is an extra credit project for physics and i would appreciate it if anyone had any idea or plans. Thanks

What kind of tracking chip?

What range do you need?

What type of data transmission do you want to use?

It'll be a really big project... most definitely more than a simple extra credit type assignment.
 
Sounds like an electrical engineering class. Shouldn't u be throwing objects up and down? :)
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
