How about an intercontinental ballistic missile equipped with a nuclear warhead?bobv5 wrote:I'm only working part time at the moment, so am also going to college. As part of my course I need a project to work on. I have a few ideas, but I'm wondering if any of you guys have any better ones.
1: VR gun recoil- In theory I have already done this. In reality it has not been tested, and will likely have stupid software bugs that will take ages to fix by myself. EDIT-If any of you software guys are intrested I can post details of the hardware.
2: Ambilight clone - I think even if consumer HMD's get really awesome, people will be using normal screens for quite a few years. Current Ambilight clone systems have a big problem, in that they require PC side driver support, and simply don't work with non PC systems. I have already done this, but the PC driver software is a pain in the anus. I would like to make something that connects via a splitter cable and is invisible to the source.
3: Motion tracking- Seems to be mosty a software issue. I suck at software.
4: Z80 computer- Will help me learn machine code, but I'm not sure that is usefull now.
5: Sumo robot- Robot's are awesome.
Going to college, need a project.

Erm, what?
Do you have any idea how expensive uranium is?

There's the expense, but also the red tape! I don't think the paperwork would really be worth it for a college project. Start small... send a rocket to an asteroid or something like that.bobv5 wrote:Erm, what?

You can buy uranium glass that glows under UV light, it's made with yellowcake... why not just buy broken uranium glass and process it in a cyclotron?bobv5 wrote:Erm, what?
