AI Thread Summary
To stand out at the upcoming science fair, the focus is on creating an interactive project that is both innovative and engaging. A proposed idea is a heat-powered fan, which involves building a thermoelectric generator. Suggestions include incorporating elements of magic or unique physics concepts to enhance the project’s appeal. Additionally, using affordable Helium Neon Lasers can add an interesting dimension to the project. The goal is to create a fun and educational experience that also contributes to the physics grade.

Hi! I really want to make a difference in my school's science fair on january.. Usually, the interactive projects are always similar and they aren't any fun at all. I want to win at the contest and this interactive science project is also the basis for majority of my physics grade.. please help me.. I want it to be fun.. maybe magic associated with Physics or any innovations that is not yet so common in the market would be helpful.. email me at honz415@yahoo.com... please.. help me.. =)

actually, I'm thinking of creating a heat-powered fan.. but to do that, it would require me to create a thermoelectric generator as well.. --> how would i do that?
 
You can buy Helium Neon Lasers from hardware stores quite cheaply nowadays. You can do lots of neat stuff with a laser.

Thread 'Gauss' law seems to imply instantaneous electric field'
Imagine a charged sphere at the origin connected through an open switch to a vertical grounded wire. We wish to find an expression for the horizontal component of the electric field at a distance ##\mathbf{r}## from the sphere as it discharges. By using the Lorenz gauge condition: $$\nabla \cdot \mathbf{A} + \frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t}=0\tag{1}$$ we find the following retarded solutions to the Maxwell equations If we assume that...
Maxwell’s equations imply the following wave equation for the electric field $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}}{\partial t^2} = \frac{1}{\varepsilon_0}\nabla\rho+\mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf J}{\partial t}.\tag{1}$$ I wonder if eqn.##(1)## can be split into the following transverse part $$\nabla^2\mathbf{E}_T-\frac{1}{c^2}\frac{\partial^2\mathbf{E}_T}{\partial t^2} = \mu_0\frac{\partial\mathbf{J}_T}{\partial t}\tag{2}$$ and longitudinal part...
