Planning

Dates

Holidays: November 24-25

Last day of class December 9th.

Currently there are 7 groups performing 6 experiments. Of the 7 groups 4 will use the shaker. We have 6 time slots for the experiments which are full weeks.

Date range	Groups
10/24 - 10/28	Inverted pendulum
10/31 - 11/4	Inelastic bouncing ball and dripping faucet
11/7 - 11/11	Synchronization and Ferrofluid
11/14 - 11/18	Faraday waves (Group 1 requested this) and Plinko dynamics
11/28 - 12/2	free week
12/5 - 12/9	Presentations

Groups

Group members	Experiment	Apparatus	Dates
Juan juan.orphee@gatech.edu Paul pacl3@gatech.edu Michael mlane3@gatech.edu Elan egrossman3@gatech.edu	Faraday waves	Shaker Laser line Grasshopper camera Liquids: Water, corn starch, oil Use the circular shaker container	?
Andrew amasse@gatech.edu Andrew andrew.hardin@gtri.gatech.edu Chris cmarcotte3@gatech.edu	Plinko chaos	Plinko board needs to be built High speed camera, Casio Exilim. Position control of drop location Computer for tracking	?
Jacob jyunis3@gatech.edu Phillip pgray7@gatech.edu Chris cmarcotte3@gatech.edu	Inelastic ball	Shaker 1D inelastic ball setup mass confined to translate along a rod or, bean bag Conductance measurements like in Jeff's jumping experiment Grasshopper camera	?
Vlad vlevenfeld3@gatech.edu Luis ljover3@gatech.edu Bradford btaylor40@gatech.edu Jeff gth657s@mail.gatech.edu	Metronome synchronization	10 metronomes. Taktell super mini High speed camera, maybe exilim. Smooth aluminum tubes Microphone and audio recording software	?
Josh jjob3@gatech.edu Caleb calebroyer@gatech.edu Ricky rpatel87@gatech.edu	Chaotic dripping faucet	High speed camera, Casio Exilim or other if better optics needed. Laser and photo-transistor device for measuring drop times. Sink, (maybe set this experiment up in shop upstairs with a computer) Tubes, water container (to be determined). Possibly some dish soap to change surface tension.	?
Dan daniel.potter@gatech.edu Kip kipp.schoenwald@gatech.edu Amir ahamid8@gatech.edu Amin aagha3@gatech.edu	Ferrofluid	High speed camera. Hopefully Exilim but may need red-lake because we may need to use macro lens. Small block of teflon with hole drilled in it, order from mcmaster. Power supply, provided from Kip right now. Helholtz coil or solenoid. From physics demo room. Ferrofluid, from physics demo room. Function generator, from the shaker. Computer with labview. Shaker computer may be best to use for this because the shaker controller would work well for controlling the magnetic field.	?
Jeff gth657s@mail.gatech.edu Chris chris.cordell@gatech.edu Bala balachandra@gatech.edu Gustavo glee68@gatech.edu	Inverted pendulum	Inverted pendulum apparatus for shaker Grasshopper of exilim. Shaker.	?
