Applied Physics Projects
Spark-in-a-Jar
From junkyard parts, a complex high power electric circuit was constructed as part of Junior Physics Lab in order to observe the effects of different pressures and gases on breakdown voltages.
Robot-tub Time Machine
A circuit was designed in order to control a miniature model hot tub. The hot tub was not a vessel through space and time as its name suggests.
Dishwasher Circuit
A digital circuit was created to replicate the functions of a household dishwasher appliance. The circuit was complete with multiple spin cycles, time cycles, LED indicators, motors & pump, and chime.
Alternator Feedback Circuit
A circuit was designed, constructed, and implemented on a failing car alternator in order to monitor end-of-life functionality.
The Age and Distance of Globular Cluster M15 Determined with Photometric Methods
Photometric Methods were used to determine characteristics of globular cluster M15. Findings were reported and presented at annual conference.
Spectroscopy of NGC 1705 to Determine Age and Mass of the Star Formation Region
Spectroscopy was conducted on the Star Formation Region of NGC 1705 in order to determine cluster characteristics. Findings were reported and presented.
