      <title>The Isochrone Crash</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ahaanomegas/748981</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ahaanomegas/748981_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;A remix of dapontes' project.

---------------------------------

An isochrone is a line on a map/diagram connecting points from which it takes the same time to travel to a certain (different) point. 

In other words, a set of points with the property that a given process will take the same time to complete starting from any point in the isochrone. A curved that is formed by a set of points with this property is called an isochronous curve. 

A mathematician named Christiaan Huygens solved the isochrone problem without calculus, but instead used only Euclidean Geometry! 

He said: 

&quot;When a cycloid is put downward, the time when the particle goes and slides and meets the bottom does not depend on the initial position of P from the position P in place of the uniform gravity. But it ignores friction&quot;

-------------------------------------------------

Please do not consider this as a remix because I redid the scripting for one of the cars in my own manner and with my own scripts. I even added a lot of features. 

This is a learning process for me. 

Thank you, dapontes.

      <title>Words n' Water</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/ahaanomegas/736975</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/ahaanomegas/736975_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;This is an art project which shows water waves and bubbles because of a vibration created by a ball landing on water. 

I made this project because my Mom kept teasing me about making boring math projects over and over again. When I finished this project, I showed it to her. She told me:

&quot;See...you can make interesting projects even without math&quot;. 

I finally told her the truth, telling her that I eventually did use math for the word stamping.

COMPLETE POEM:
--------------------

Water Sprite, 
I hear you calling.
Deep within the well divine,
Drink swiftly for night is falling.
Coaxing stars that ever shine,
Softer Light that pales the moon,
Pale and still, voices are calling,
Refract Waves of Celestial Song.

 Green flag and choose demo 1 or 2. 

Thanks ahaanomegas for the music.</description>

      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/dapontes/709772_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Water waves are an example of waves that involve a combination of both longitudinal and transverse motions. As a wave travels through the waver, the particles travel in clockwise circles. The radius of the circles decreases as the depth into the water increases. http://paws.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/waves/wavemotion.html</description>

      <title>The Random Walk</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/dapontes/702788</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/dapontes/702788_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;We imagine a &quot;game&quot; in which a player - cat starts at the point x=0 and at each move is required to take a step either forward (towards +x) or backward (towards -x). The choice is to be made randomly, determined by the toss of a coin. How far does he get on the average?

The step equals 3 (thanks mathjp)</description>

      <title>Waves on a string</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/dapontes/706716</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/dapontes/706716_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;A remix of DarthPickley version of Paddle2See project &quot;Good Vibrations&quot;.

 Here you can change the angular frequency and the amplitude of the simple harmonic motion of the first particle. 

Also, you can create pulses on the string by clicking and dragging the hand or another particle. 
Choose &quot;fixed end&quot; or &quot;loose end&quot;.

It works better in presentation mode.</description>

It teaches lab safety, but at high difficulty levels it becomes a test of reaction time! Try to guess what the music is!</description>

      <title>Slider_Crank Mechanism</title> 
      <link>http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/dapontes/676347</link> 
      <description>&lt;img src=&quot;http://scratch.mit.edu/static/projects/dapontes/676347_sm.png&quot; width=&quot;148&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;I saw the chalkmarrow's project and i decided to make another one mechanism but in different way. 

Use the sliders R and a to change the length of the crank and the angular velocity respectively. If you like change the position of the mechanism use the arrows keys (up, down, right, left).

 Green flag to start.</description>
