    Pizoelectrical Flashlight concept help

    When I said more efficient tapping, I meant lighter, less rapid, and smaller taps instead of rapidly tapping it hard. What do you mean by decrease the distance? Like reducing the length of the lever? Reducing the height of the finger/tapping head? I am not saying that I am getting rid of...

    Pizoelectrical Flashlight concept help

    Like I said, I need to figure out a way to have the sensor constantly vibrate, and at the moment, the most common way is to rapidly slam your finger into the membrane multiple times. I want more efficent tapping. The multiplied force will create the same force of a slamming of a finger with...

    Pizoelectrical Flashlight concept help

    The key to make the pizoelectrical flashlight more efficient than a flashlight with a crank is to somehow use multiplied force or somehow increase the oscillation of the membrane. The pizoelectrical sensor can generate electricity by it simply vibrating and being deformed, so somehow getting the...

    Pizoelectrical Flashlight concept help

    Hey guys, I have been thinking of creating a flashlight that is powered by piezoelectric (pressure) energy. I have watched several videos so far and I noticed that in order to actually generate electricity, one would have to constantly tap it rapidly in order to power an LED light. However, I...

    Is it possible to use 3D printing to help end world hunger?

    Hey guys, I have been reading some articles recently and I have came acrossed an article that the SMRC (Systems and Materials Research Corporation)(with its support from NASA) has a grant that supports its project in creating 3D editable food (pizza) using 3D printing (apprently one of the...

    How bright is the future of Maglev Cars?

    Ah, I never considered the maglev car turning at certain points and with functions like u-turns or 3-K turns and I was thinking about building more solar panels and wind turbines in order to supply for the amount of electricity needed, and for the payment for the power to supply maglev cars, I...

    How bright is the future of Maglev Cars?

    I will do more research on possible concepts on changing rails, there is something I should work on. But I am proposing for almost every single road to have maglev tracks. Basically, even your drive ways will have maglev tracks. It’s actually possible to do it for a majority of the roads...

    How bright is the future of Maglev Cars?

    Yeah I understand Russ, no worries. Maglev cars would have more freedom over maglev trains. Trains are pretty restricted, and sometimes do not take the best route in transportation. You take a maglev train to go from one train station A to another to get to your work place. However the train...

    How bright is the future of Maglev Cars?

    Thanks for responding Simon, This is like my own personal research project (to help myself learn better on both the topic of my project and the field of engineering as well as research), has nothing to do with academics though I may consider writing a research paper about it on my own time and...

    How bright is the future of Maglev Cars?

    Hey guys, I made a topic similar to this earlier, but after I was informed that my ideas has several flaws that would prevent it from working, I revised it and researched more about my topic. This is my original idea with several concepts that has changed. I am planning on making a mini-model...

    Idea for electromagnetic hover car (maglev car)?

    Hey guys, I am just a simple high school student in a one-year physics course who wants to improve his ability in applied science and using physics to create new things (my dream is to be an inventor) I always had this idea of a Maglev (electromagnetic) hover car where it uses the messier...
