- A participant asked for personal project ideas that combine fluid mechanics or thermodynamics with computer science; the community suggested microfluidics for automated organic chemistry as the canonical “fluid-dynamics project” in the channel.  
- A Stanford course page on “Bone Tissue Regeneration” (https://web.stanford.edu/group/mota/education/Physics%2087N%20Final%20Projects/Group%20Gamma/bone.htm) was shared, describing the use of coral and marine sponges as scaffolds for regenerating bone tissue.  
- Multiple low-barrier, open-source thermodynamics projects were proposed: small-scale biochar reactors with power co-generation, plasma-assisted household waste incinerators for plastics, and DIY liquid-fuel synthesis rigs.  
- When the original poster asked for beginner-friendly builds, the group highlighted that owning an FDM 3-D printer is a practical prerequisite for many entry-level fluidics or reactor projects.
