Physics / Astronomy
Radio telescope: aperture and pointing
Inspect a primary-focus parabolic antenna and scan a point source through its main beam and sidelobes.
Physics / Astronomy
Telescope optics
Explore a telescope in 3D, diffraction rings and a surface of light intensity. Compare aperture, wave defocus and atmosphere on one angular scale.
Physics
Inside a steam locomotive
Follow fire, boiler pressure, cylinder expansion and the coupling rods that turn the wheels.
Physics
Explosion: fireball and rising cloud
Explore the outward shock, fading fireball and buoyant mushroom-shaped cloud.
Physics
Lidar car: scanning the world
A moving laser scanner measures a three-dimensional point cloud.
Physics
Magnetic crane: hold and release
Lift steel with an electromagnet and test the cost of a wider air gap.
Physics
Thin sheet: impact and tearing
Follow a projectile, a ductile dent and a tearing metal sheet in slow motion.
Physics
Wimshurst electrostatic machine
Counter-rotating discs charge two jars until a spark crosses the gap.
Physics
Ferrofluid surface instability
A magnetic field competes with gravity and surface tension to raise a spiked surface.
Physics
Magnetorheological suspension
Compare passive suspension with a current-controlled yield-stress damper.
Physics
Scanning tunneling microscope
Raster an atomic surface using a tunneling-current feedback loop.
Physics
MRI: from spins to an image
Fill k-space line by line and reconstruct a synthetic phantom with a Fourier transform.
Physics
Ultrasound: echoes make an image
Compare time of flight, acoustic reflections and attenuation in a synthetic phantom.
Some modules belong to more than one Suite. Shared experiments have one description here.
