🛹 Halfpipe Pumping Lab: Energy, G-Forces and Air Height

Variable-length-pendulum model of a robot rider on a halfpipe: energy conservation, pumping work, centripetal g-forces and air height, with a measured-vs-theory experiment.

⚙ Under the hood

A robot rider on a halfpipe modelled as a variable-length pendulum: watch kinetic and potential energy trade places, measure the centripetal g-force in the transition and see how pumping (rising and sinking the centre of mass) adds energy. Includes an experiment that checks air height and the angular-momentum pump gain against theory.
