What Are Some Innovative Topics for a Classical Mechanics Term Project?

[ineedmoney]

Does anybody know a good topic for a classical mechanics term project. I just don't have any ideas. It can just be a high degree of problem solving for a traditional trivial question or be a Phenomenon.

I wrote a CM term paper on building artificial gravity space station (rotating wheel) - it was pretty cool. people wrote a bunch of papers in the '70s. There are some real problems with the model - mostly due to coriolis forces giving everyone strokes!
