What's it about?
Can you measure wind speed from the sound of a flapping flag?
Or light intensity by looking at a solar powered rotor?
Why does chalk make dots instead of lines if you hold it right?
Why can a spinning magnet pin another magnet in midair?

These are some of the questions that the DTU team worked on for the latest edition of IPT.
International Physicists Tournament
IPT is an annual competition where teams of university students solve creative, open ended physics problems, using a combination of theory and experiments. On Tuesday, 26 September, at Fysikaften, the team will present some of their outstanding work in a series of short powerpoints.
We look forward to seeing you there. Remember to bring your curiosity!
