1. Physics Simulator Problem Abstract Impact
Field testing certain physics experiments can be expensive and/or dangerous.
Teaching practical physics to students can be too ‘abstract’ for ready understanding.
Abstract
Thesis- A complete physics simulator can be used to test laboratory ideas, theories, and serve as a teaching tool for students.
Approach- Interlay multiple fields, each representing a separate physics effect (gravity, magnetism, and current to name a few), and force interaction through them.
How- Customized interface to generate blank fields of effects, and a display tool using an open source GUI.
Impact
Researchers can simulate a variety of fields, from astrophysics to impact physics.
Students can use this as a lab tool to test their work, or see practical effects of physics in play.
