The  science  behind the  deadly  roller coaster ride in the movie  Final Destination 3
How to design a thrilling roller coaster ride? - This will be a project in design fundamentals in the next semester.
Basic elements of a modern roller coaster
The track for the roller coaster can be an  artwork .
The principle of a roller coaster : lifting the train to a  very high place . Letting the train fall freely due to  gravity . The geometry of the track is designed to meet desired  fear factor .
What is the  fear factor ?
People feel afraid, or excited, when their  speed  or  direction of motion  is changing; that is, when they are  accelerated .  acceleration in speeding up S S 0-100km/h 12s 3.8s a a
acceleration in changing direction a a
What causes the  sense of fear  to people who are accelerating? The acceleration of an object cannot be enabled without a  push or pull  from  another  object. S S Newton’s 2nd law:  F
50km/h S S S S rest, 0km/h a F
An authentic example of in  measuring force via acceleration  interaction design MS X-Box 360  control for the next generation
Therefore, as long as we know the  acceleration  of a person experienced at each points along the track, we can orchestra the variation of fear factor. But how?   We need  one more knowledge …

Summary To design a roller coaster ride,  lifting the train to a  very high place . Letting the train fall freely due to  gravity . The geometry of the track is designed to meet desired  fear factor . Determine  U+K Let  U  K Change height & curvature (R) to acquire desired  a
能量轉換  (between  U & K ) Are they  other forms  of energies? 直指 : 能量守恆定律
Why, in the tragedy in the movie, did the train stop at the top of the loop?  v=0 Because some of  K+U  is taken away by  friction , in to  heat . Heat (熱) , K( 動能 ) and U (位能) are three types of energies.
攜帶式發電機、微型發電機 Electric energy is a potential energy. 原理: 人體運動或自然背景振動之 動能 帶動發電機之輪轉機構,轉換成 電能 。
綠能技術: 薄膜太陽能板 特 色: 價廉、易生產,大面積鋪設 原理: 太陽能 激活材料內光電流,轉換成 電能 。
波浪如何帶動物體運動? http:// tw.youtube.com/watch?v =tt_lqFyc6Co  原理: 海水 動能 帶動發電機窩輪葉片,轉換成 電能 。 海浪發電
原理: http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=qRUl1mJQHmc   原理: 潮汐時海水 動能 帶動發電機渦輪葉片,轉換成 電能 。 潮汐發電
燃料電池 ( fuel cell ) 的原理 原理: 利用 觸媒 將氫、氧混合氣體之 化學能 釋出,轉換成 電能 。
從能量轉換的角度看燃料電池 問題:燃料氫氣從何而來?如何產生? H 2 , O 2 H 2 O 激發反應之能量(由觸媒提供) 釋出之能量
以水為燃料的車 自頭到尾,你有得到任何能量嗎?(這個設計是否跟連動債很像?) Fuel Cell Motor Transmission  H 2 electrolysis H 2 H 2 O H 2 , O 2 H 2 O H 2 O
綠能 或永續能源的概念 : 將 潛伏 在自然界的能量 釋出,或利用自然運動的 動能 ,轉化為 電 。 這些發電方式 不產生溫室氣體 ,或其它危害環境的廢物。所以石化燃料均不算。
