experimental/experiential aspect akin to physics and chemistry at an introductorylevel. Moreover, the model would also avoid combinatorial expenses given the simplifications, thusallowing for a realistic game.4.3 Quality of ChoicesIn teaching scoring functions to students, one could further simplify G(t) to pose simple “base cases,” asin a linear equation: G(t) = qt (4)where q is an constant, defined later in this section. One could also simplify G(t) even further with aconstant k: G(t) = k (5)Figure 5 shows Equations 4 and 5. These simple functions hide a elegant

itpossible for them to stay away fromeach other. If the upper pulley is madefrom leather or nylon, a similar processwill transfer negative charge to thenegative electrode, usually connected toground. The charges on the globe lead to anelectrostatic voltage which depends onhumidity level, pulley materials, beltspeed and globe size. There is atheoretical maximum potential to which Fig. 1 Schematic of a VDG generator; (1) globe, (2) charge pickupa VDG dome can be raised [52].
