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 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
