Acoustics and Vibration Animations
Acoustics and Vibration Animations The links below contain animations which visualize certain concepts concerning acoustics and vibration. I started creating these animations while I was a member of the physics faculty at Kettering University (1995-2011). The intent has been to create physically and mathematically correct animations that illustrate complicated phenomena involving waves and vibration.

WorldWide Telescope
Immerse yourself in a seamless beautiful environment. From web to desktop to full dome planetarium, WorldWide Telescope (WWT) enables you to explore the universe, bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world and combining it with 3D navigation. Experience narrated guided tours from astronomers and educators featuring interesting places in the sky. You can research and import your own data and visualize it, then create a tour to share with others. A web-based version of WorldWide Telescope is also available. This version enables seamless, guided explorations of the universe from within a web browser on PC and Intel Mac OS X by using the power of Microsoft Silverlight 4.0.I waive all copyright to this chart and place it in the public domain, so you are free to reuse it anywhere with no permission necessary. (However, keep in mind that I am not a radiation expert, and this chart is intended for general public informational use only.)

Nuclear reactor and power plant simulation
Introduction This is not a lesson like the others in Radioactivity and Atomic Physics Explained but it fits in well with the lesson on nuclear power . It is a very sophisticated simulation of a pressurised water reactor (PWR), which is the most common type of nuclear power reactor in the US but not in Europe, though the principles are very similar.

Physics Flash Animations
We have been increasingly using Flash animations for illustrating Physics content. This page provides access to those animations which may be of general interest. The animations will appear in a separate window. The animations are sorted by category, and the file size of each animation is included in the listing. Also included is the minimum version of the Flash player that is required; the player is available free from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ .

From the great ocean liner's construction to its sinking to its discovery on the ocean floor, the key moments in the Titanic 's history. See our full centenary coverage here Thirty years of struggle and research have led to dozens of treatments for HIV/AIDS--although both a cure and an effective vaccine remain elusive Whether gas, liquid or solid; radioactive or stable; reactive or inert; toxic or in your vitamin pill, the 118 building blocks each has its own chemically idiosyncratic characteristics--and certain commonalities.
