Site giving information about the solar system, including individual planets, comets, asteroids and meteorites.
Welcome to the Pressure Chamber
In this series of experiments, you will control the action of a piston in a pressure chamber which is filled with an ideal gas.
Drinking bird
Without any external energy provided, how can this little toy bird keep repeating its action of drinking water?The essential physics of a popular 'executive toy' explained. Good illustrations.
Google's driverless car
Would you trust a car that drives itself? The TED video shows Google's driverless car in action.
Venturi tube Simulator
A mini program that uses a Venturi tube to show the effect of the Bernoulli equation. A simple yet very informative site which clearly shows Bernoulli's principle in action.
Induction motor action
Induction motors use shorted wire loops on a rotating armature and obtain their torque from currents induced in these loops by the changing magnetic field produced in the field coils.
