Physics Benches
Browser labs where you design something, the physics runs live, and the results come back as the plots an engineer would actually use. Every bench states its model and its simplifications.
-
Heat EnginesPick a cycle, set it up, and read the P–v and T–s diagrams.
-
Optics BenchLay out lenses and mirrors, trace real rays, read the aberrations.
-
Circuit BenchProbe a real circuit solver with a virtual oscilloscope.
-
Hull StabilityLoad a ship, heel it, and read the righting-arm curve.
-
Tuned Mass DamperShake a tower, then tune a mass to calm it down.
-
Race Car SetupChange the setup, see the lap time — and where it came from.
-
Wind TunnelDraw a shape, see the flow, read the drag.
-
Concert HallShape a hall, choose its surfaces, hear the result.
-
Linkage DesignerBuild a mechanism, drive it, watch the coupler curve appear.
-
Pendulum ClockBuild a pendulum, wind it up, and count the seconds it loses.
-
Bicycle StabilityFind the speeds at which a bicycle rides itself.
-
Roller CoasterBuild the ride, run the train, read the g-force trace.
-
Quadcopter TuningTurn the gains up until it buzzes, then back off.
-
Crane LiftSet the outriggers, hang the load, see if it stands up.
-
Rail WheelsetConed wheels steer themselves — until they hunt.
-
Yacht VPPDesign the boat, read the polar, find the angles that pay.
-
Crumple ZoneSomewhere to put the energy, and time to put it there.
-
Climbing FallIt is not how far you fall. It is how far, divided by the rope.
