Future Projects!
I have a long list of projects I'd like to complete at some time. Some are simple and others are just too time consuming but I still want to complete them. If any of these interest you, let me know and maybe we could work together!
I'll add to the list every so often with new ideas.
- Lightning Detector! I want to take a photo of a lightning strike but as you can imaging they are hard to control. With a lightning detector not only will I know when a bolt is about to strike but I can also hook it up to the camera to snap the image at just the right time! That is my primary use for this and one can be made for just a few dollars, or bought for a couple hundred. They are also cool conversation pieces, think Dr. Frankenstein's lab!
- A scaled model of the solar system! I'd like to get a yellow ball (sun) and some other small balls (planets) and place them all at the scalled distances from the sun. For this I would need a LOT of room... With a 20 inch diameter Sun, The Earth would be (I'll have to look it up again but i believe it is..) 150 foot away and only four milimeters in diameter and Pluto would be nine miles away at just under one milimeter diameter.
