Using SP for class project
-
exiting news! im currently using Sketchy physics to help design my physics class project. the goal is to make a "car" that holds a raw egg. the car must travel down a ramp and hit a "wall of doom" (named by the teacher), and have the egg survive intact.
i dont use SP to simulate the egg, just how the car will react with the wall of doom. so far it has been a huge help in terms of visualization and planning. thank you SP developers!

Cool. Post a picture or video when you are done.

hey, the project is under way! all the other students are having to make scale drawings by hand, but my group gets to use SU! ha ha ha!!!
any way, here is a pic of the car w/o wheels. the squary thing up front is a mini crumple-zone, like the ones on cars, but smaller (the entire car is only 16" long). the black stuff on the inside is foam with a triangular cut out in the middle for the egg.thanks again mr phillips, and all the people that made SP happen. my project has been made so much easier because of you guys!

I'm a teacher in Lima Peru and also use the Sketchy physics in my class of architecture bioclimatic, some months ago we had a very destructive earthquake (7.9 scale of Rigther) the class went to one of the most damaged towns called "Sunampe" and saw lot of mistaques in the construction of the houses. This encourage me to make this short video as a part of the "construccion con adobe" (construction with land) class. The video helps a lot, great tool!!!

in the same project i got to make a tennis ball cannon out of PVC pipe (i go to an awsome school). basicly how it works is : i stuff a tennis ball down the 5 foot barrel (about 1 and a half meters), then me and a friend pump like heck on a bike pump to fill a compression tank, then wee stand back and pull a cord wich pulls open a ball valve wich releases the air in the aforementioned tank, producing a loud "phooooom!" and sending the tennis ball an easy 100 feet (30 meters) in the air. it is now my weekend toy. i used SU to design part of it.
