Materials In Rocketry
Recently, I’ve been working on what materials we should use for O-rings inside our propellant tanks in my rocket club on campus. We’re building a bi-propellant rocket using IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and nitrous oxide (N2O). There are some… Continue reading Materials In Rocketry
Fuel Tank Bulkhead Sizing
For our bipropellant rocket, we aim to find tanks and the bottom and top parts of the enclosed tank that match our required pressure, stress, and weight ranges. This is tough considering there are so many variables at… Continue reading Fuel Tank Bulkhead Sizing
Solar Panel Power Output
As part of the IBDP curriculum, in high school, I got the chance to write a research paper about a topic of my choosing (with so many restrictions I still have PTSD from it because I couldn’t do… Continue reading Solar Panel Power Output
Rocket Propulsion Engineering
After joining UCSB’s rocket club, Gaucho Rocket Project, I have learned so much about all the different calculations that are undertaken while understanding the inner workings of the propulsion system in a rocket. The best way to learn… Continue reading Rocket Propulsion Engineering
Where do we come from?
This post is basically a summary of me going down a rabbit hole. It all started with final preparation for my astronomy final. As you agree with me, astronomy is pretty freaking cool. Just for fun, I started… Continue reading Where do we come from?
Data Analysis for Astronomical Data
I don’t like spending too much money. I find it wasteful if I can do the thing rather simply without needing to spend. For the longest time, I have been interested in astrophysics and astronomy and I thought,… Continue reading Data Analysis for Astronomical Data
3D Designed Box: The Sequel
I’m writing this in a bus so ignore some mistakes that might be there lol. I couldn’t wait to write this post so here it is. If you read my previous post, you must know the first actual… Continue reading 3D Designed Box: The Sequel
3D Designed Box: Round 1
Before you ask, even I don’t know what the picture is. It’s weird and cool. I like it. For a long time I had been keen on doing Physics. Pure Physics. Understanding how different things around me work… Continue reading 3D Designed Box: Round 1
Level 2: Logic Gates from Transistors
In the previous post, we learned about how transistors are made. They’re made from semiconductors (middle in conductivity between conductors and insulators) and are extremely tiny. These transistors can be thought of as tiny switches. In other words,… Continue reading Level 2: Logic Gates from Transistors
Yeah, but, what is a computer made of?
Computers are all around us. They are made of thousands, even millions, of tiny interconnected components. However, at the fundamental level, do we really understand how devices around us work?
Decoding the universe, one topic at a time.
