Design and construct a perpetual motion device by Chan, Ren Wei.

“…Since there are many types of perpetual motion concept circulating in the internet, the author attempts on build on the idea of using the centrifugal force of a pendulum to create a mechanical feedback loop system and exert on the pendulum’s swing. Perpetual motion will occur when the pendulum is able to sustain by its own centrifugal force by recovering its frictional losses. …”

Structure-behaviour correlations between two genetically closely related snail species by Le Ferrand, Hortense, Morii, Yuta

“…When under attack from a beetle, K. editha snails retract into their shells whereas K. gainesi snails swing their shells. In this paper, we looked at the microstructure, composition, morphology and mechanics of the shells of these two species and discuss potential relationships between material structure and the snails’ defence behaviours. …”

A novel approach to designing a guitar distortion effects pedal by Zheng, Luka

“…This was first done by overdriving the tube amplifier beyond its linear region, creating a harmonic distortion characteristic that is dominant in the 2nd harmonics, and changing to odd harmonic distortion as the output voltage swing is limited by the rail voltage. Guitar distortion pedals today seek to recreate the same sound effect of an overdriven tube amplifier with the use of nonlinear I-V characteristics of diodes. …”
