Induction smelter

Hosted by OSOS , contributed by mariqna on 1 October 2019

Nowadays, students are not much interested in physics. That’s why we decided to make a project, which purpose is to encourage their curiosity in this science area. This project combines hard theory with an opportunity for experimenting. To succeed in this endeavor, we had to get familiar with the principle of working. It wasn’t so easy task but after long hours of research on the internet and reading books, provided by physicists in our school, we thought we could handle this. We started with the electric scheme. When we were ready with the theory about the project, we had to get the necessary parts. In the local electricity store, we got useful bits of advice, without which we would not probably do anything. Then we had everything to start constructing our induction smelter.

Feel

Our ideas are to lessen the studying process in the field of natural sciences via experiments. In our opinion, direct experimentation over a certain problem is the best way to be comprehended. We will have our project where we can apply what we study at school. So we decided to make an induction smelter.

Imagine

​We realized that everything we have studied throughout the years can be applied in real life. We have viewed numerous videos on YouTube, whose creators interestingly share their physics knowledge, so we decided to create this because it can improve our abilities to solve various problems.

Share

The point of this project is to raise interest in physics. We have already shared our ideas with our schoolmates and we will publish the whole project on YouTube. We hope this will provoke interest in our community. Our school is appropriate for sharing ideas and exchanging information.123123123123
