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

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks ideas for in-depth physics projects, specifically mentioning Tesla Coils, Superconductors, and CO2 scrubbing. They express interest in developing a regenerative scrubber for CO2 scrubbing. Suggestions include a Tesla Coil project kit and a chemical approach using Grignard reagents, which react with CO2 to form carboxylates. An experimental setup is proposed where a gaseous solution with a known CO2 concentration is passed through an impinger containing a Grignard reagent in dry ether, allowing measurement of CO2 efficiency in the scrubbing 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.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
