Circles in Magnetic Fields: Orbits of Electrons - and Starships

2000
Have you ever dreamt of leaving our solar system? With today's technologies of space-flight we cannot realize our dream. However, promising technologies already exist on the drawing boards, and in the future mankind could achieve the interstellar space travel.We want to investigate one realistic interstellar propulsion technology: laser-pushed lightsails. With this method it should be possible to perform a manned space travel to a near fixed star within an astronauts's lifetime. Of course it is neither easy nor cheap to realize our dream, however it is not impossible.

The World of Motion

2000
This site is designed to teach the physics principles that govern motion on Earth. Basic, but important information, like units used in physics and scientific notation, is taught in the first chapter. The rest of the site and chapters deal with topics such as velocity, acceleration, Newton's three laws, gravity and friction. Each chapter contains interactive questions to test what the reader has just read. At the end is a unit "test" that covers all the topics of the site. And, finally there is an experiments section which allows readers to see the concepts in action.
