Ideas for my physics project?

In my 12th grade, Honors physics class, we're supposed to build some type of physics demonstration for our final grade. According to the requirements, it has to be a machine type of thing (such that it can be used over and over again without requiring any set-up.) Does anyone have any good ideas? I'm really pressed for time so it'd be best if it didn't take too long to make. It also has to demonstrate some sort of physics principle (obviously.)

    Just think of a type of machinery that shows a certain point of physics, such as you could show the different aerodynamics v/s speed of older and newer planes. Simple projects and last minute ideas tend not to get the best grades. Acceleration is the easiest to construct and calculate in my opinion.

    What in case you made a extensive coil. connect say a mild bulb. Then take the magnetron out of a microwave and build a gun utilising % (plastic pipe) See in case you are able to track it so as that the electromagnetic waves will stimulate adequate modern interior the coil to gentle the bulb. The magnetron in a 1500 watt microwave is robust adequate to do it. that would characterize a circulate of potential by area requiring no conductive media. you would be able to desire to probable get a prize for that. you are able to would desire to concentration totally on wavelength to make certain the size of the coil and whew i do no longer even comprehend the place to start up on the form of windings of copper twine yet, it is extremely do-in a position. you would be able to desire to construct a vulnerable rail gun that shoots paperclips out of a starter solenoid. you would be able to desire to crack water and exhibit the potential and cleanliness of hydrogen gasoline. It makes an quite powerfull assertion whilst human beings understand that the effects of the combustion of hydrogen is, in fact, sparkling organic water.
