Hey /sci/! I need a physics project for my senior year high school. This is for a competiton my teachers are throwing, and, since I never really "won" anything in high school, I would really like to win this competition as a little parting gift for myself.
I actually had a very cool project in mind which was to calculate the refractive index of an opaque ceramic alloy by making use of an old capacitor I had lying around that used this material as it's di-electric, but after seeing the project titles my classmates are submitting I think I need to amp up my impressiveness factor. Some guy made a fucking telescope ffs!
So, what are some very visually and scientifically cool projects I can do at home? I'm well versed with electronics and cs if that helps.
