Daily progress report for march 23

today I did my final project report next time I want to have all of my materials for the project purchased

Final Presentation

My final presentation is going to be 3 models if the particle beam works out if it doesent then my final presentstion will be 2 models and a video of a particle beam. I attempted to build 2 models and purchased 1 model. The first model I attempted to make was a particle beam and since I didn't have charged particles laying around I made a smaller scale model that rflects light to burn a small whole in paper. I made this by; First buying a green laser with 5mw; Second, I took apart the laser then tightened the pot. Thats when I started running into trouble, first the pot wouldn't tighten so I had to estimate when it was at it's highest power then I didn't know how to make my type of laser heat up enough to burn through anything. So I'm going to continue to make progress and hopefuly pull through with success. My second model that I built is Tesla's teleforce invention which uses a copper wire wrapped around a tube hooked up to DC power to launch objects through a tube either into the air or straight out. My third model that I purchased is the Tesla coil. I purchased this one because it is expensive to build and because it could be dangerous as well. The Tesla coil is a couple inches big and it is supposed to use AC power (power out of the wall) to create electric waves to power objects from a distance.
