I would like to work on an in-depth physics project

In summary, a new member is seeking ideas for a physics project and has a few topics in mind including Tesla Coils, Superconductors, and CO2 scrubbing. They are specifically looking for a regenerative scrubber for their CO2 scrubbing project. A helpful resource for Tesla Coil projects is suggested, and the possibility of using Grignard reagents for CO2 scrubbing is mentioned. An experiment involving a gaseous solution and a grignard reagent is proposed as a way to measure the efficiency of the process.

Hi! I'm new here. I would like to know if I could get ideas regarding in depth physics project. I have a couple of ideas for topics, but I am not sure what to do regards them. My topics are: Tesla Coils, Superconductors, and CO2 scrubbing. For the CO2 scrubbing project, I am trying to find a regenerative scrubber I can use. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

I know Grignard reagents (RMgX) react with CO2 to form carboxylates. I'm not sure if this is an economically feasible CO2 scrubbing solution though.
You could set up an experiment to bring a gaseous solution containing a known amount of CO2 through an impinger containing a grignard reagent dissolved in dry ether, then find a way to measure the CO2 leaving the impinger to see how efficient the process is.
