As I mentioned previously we are currently in the process of brainstorming ideas for a project. Hopefully we’ll be able to secure some departmental funding and do something interesting, dangerous, educational, or any combination of the three!

A few of the ideas we came up with at the last meeting were:

• Railgun research
• Building a Gauss gun (coilgun)
• Manipulating a ferrofluid with magnetic fields
• Building a Ruben’s Tube

If you have any other ideas for an interesting physics demo or something that you’d like to see us build or research, send them our way.
