Projects to come @ micha

I also want to use this blog as a place to write down the projects I want to try doing on top of talking about the ones I've already completed. So, here's a list of what's coming up and what I would like to come up:

In the works:

3D Whiteboard (almost done!)
3D Volumetric Display (anyone want to donate an optical bench or some mirrors? :) (with help from Darryl)
Fusor (anyone know how to make a cheap vacuum chamber?) (together with Darryl)
python Hobbyist Observer Tool (phot?, almost done... but not ready for the public yet)
pyremote (python tool set for the mac remote... basically done, I'm just making some modules ftw)

To come:

Ferrofluid (I'm doing this one for the kids at a local highschool)
Hologram of Saturn (well, I have the camera, now I just need some clear nights!) (Helping Darryl)
Micron sized tractor beam! (too cool to say no)
Tape as an x-ray source (again, vacuum chamber?)

Materials Wishlist:

Vacuum Pump
Vacuum Chamber! (or at least the materials to make one)
NeHe Laser
Heavy Water (harder to get in Canada than I thought... united nuclear has some if someone wouldn't mind bringing me some back from the US)
Microscope
Oscilloscope
Wave Generator
LCD Projector (3d (whiteboard|display))
That paper thing... what's it called?... money?

On top of those personal projects, I'm also working with Chris Matzner on protostellar outflow-driven turbulence. To put shortly, we are basically seeing if jet's shot out by young stars, protostars, can cause a feedback effect and, by the creation of super-sonic turbulence, slow down star formation rates. I'll put a post about that sooner rather than later... I think I will start a one post per day rule to get this thing going.
