Research Assignments


The basics of the apparatus needed are known. It should look something like the picture shown below.
300px-Apparatus.jpg (300×229)We must research all the materials going into this. We need to know how much voltage will be required and the type of material that can handle that voltage. We will also need to know what kind of insulator will be available and appropriate for this experiment. Ionization is essential to this experiment so various forms of radiation will also be studied. This experiment was done before with water (it was not very accurate) but the pressure at which water evaporates became a problem for the data collected so it is necessary to find an oil with physical properties ideal for these conditions. Here is how we spit up the research:
     There will also be a poster board competition coming up in a few weeks that we would like to take place in. It is the CIE poster board presentation. In order to make the deadlines a timeline is shown above was made
