How to prevent model train derailments by using a spring switch.
[P]
Determine if childproof containers are really safe from children.
[E]
[E]
Can Smaller Eggs Support More Weight?
[E]
Biomimetic Water Striders: Testing the Load-Bearing Capacity of Static Water Strider Models
[E]
Modify a mass manufactured poultry feeder in order to use less food, reducing stale and wasted feed.
[E]
Use of a lever and interference of light to measure very tiny weights.
[E]
Which packing material provides the best protection for fragile items?
[E]
Determine if different brands of bubble gum produce the same size of bubble by measuring circumference and diameter.
[E]
Which insole lasts the longest under constant compression?
[E]
Test Load Carrying Capacity of Cylindrical Shells
[E]
Measure, by using a light sensor, the vibrational frequency of spring/mass combinations using springs of different stiffness and a graded range of masses for each spring.
[E]
Effect of Trebuchet Arm Length or Counterweight Mass on Projectile Distance
[E]
Measure the force and the work required to lift the same load with different arrangements of pulleys.
[E]
Investigate how far equally-weighted objects with different surface textures will slide when propelled across surfaces with different textures.
[E]
Build a small dynamometer that could measure the output power, torque, and RPM of a HO scale slot car.
[E]
Determine whether it is possible to harness wasted gravitational potential energy and convert it into easily accessed kinetic energy. Application of this principle is a garbage can that can bring itself out to the curb when full and back to the house when empty.
[E]
Hinged vs. Fixed Trebuchet Counterweight Design
[E]
Compare different types of prosthetics (control cable, electric).
[E]
The effect of damping on a shock absorber
[P]
Will harp traps be more effective at catching bats with a higher wing loading than bats with a lower wing loading because bats with a lower wing loading fly slower and are more maneuverable?
