So my Physics Engineering teacher sprung on us we had to do a project concerning physics and do a 10 page write up on it. And it has to be done in about a month.... Yeah not cool.

Anyways, I am trying to get some input from you guys on what I could build. I was considering a DRSSTC since I've built one once already but they don't really have a practical use or purpose..atleast I don't think they do unless someone knows of one!

My other idea was building a variable frequency drive electric go kart, but in a months time that won't happen :p

Any ideas are helpful but I would like to stay in the power electronics realm. Thanks in advance!

How about an electromagnetic can-crusher? Or a coin shrinker?

I was considering a DRSSTC since I've built one once already but they don't really have a practical use or purpose..atleast I don't think they do unless someone knows of one!

Ehm, i guess they could be used to test lightning arrestors and surge protectors and such. A AMSSTC could be used as a loudspeaker, does that qualify?

Not very exciting;-
a tool or instrument that will assist you in future

e.g
a small induction heaer based on your drsstc experience
a calibrated broadband high voltage probe
a high voltage power supply,
...remote programming and monitoring of current and voltage etc.

someting along those lines...a tool/instrument and memento.

Renesis, unfortunately I already did a science fair on an audio modulated solid state tesla coil a year or two back :p

Sulaiman, I like the idea of making some tool that I could use later on.. The probe or powersupply does sound interesting.

HV power supply with independent voltage and current controls. Could be used to test variety of things (lasers, breakdown voltages etc...).

I am long time thinking of making one, but I always have problems with the current control and feedback instability...
