Makarov Physics Suite
200 interactive modules span mechanics, waves, optics, electromagnetism, quantum phenomena, fluids and thermodynamics. Work with physical objects, inspect detailed 3D apparatus and connect the motion to live measurements.

Physics / Engineering
Four-stroke engine
Slider-crank, an Otto cycle with a finite burn, and a shaft the gas turns.
Physics
EM wave (FDTD)
Maxwell's equations on a grid: ripples, double-slit interference, a dielectric lens.
Physics
Special relativity
Light clocks, length contraction and the relativity of simultaneity on interactive spacetime diagrams - Lorentz transformations you can drag.
Physics
Linkages and mechanisms
Four bars and four pins is the smallest machine there is: watch a point on the coupler draw a curve no circle can, see the transmission angle open and close, and find out from Grashof's rule whether anything turns at all.
Physics
Rolling race
A hoop, a shell, a cylinder and a ball race down one incline. The order is fixed by where the inertia sits, not by mass or size.
Physics
Charge on conductors
Explore charge on a conductor: sample the surface, measure induction without contact, then transfer charge to a Faraday pail.
Physics
Quadcopter and control
Four rotors, a cascaded controller and gains you can break: fly a course or catch a shove.
Physics
Sandbox 3D
A 3D physics workshop: bowling, a suspended bridge, materials, collisions and destruction.
Physics
Demolition
Wall, tower, pyramid or fortress; wrecking balls from the front, from above, from the corner. The collapse is the contact solver's own - nothing here is choreographed.
Some modules belong to more than one Suite. Shared experiments have one description here.
