Although radar is typically associated with scanning the sky, it is also used for underground purposes. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is utilized to send signals beneath the surface and analyze their return to determine the presence of buried objects, similar to locating or identifying distant aircraft by detecting radar echoes. This technology can be constructed using

Digital displays are useful for quick and accurate readout, but lots of people prefer the physical motion of a needle moving along a dial. For instance, many smartwatch users choose an analog face to show the time, and modern cars with digital dashboards often default to showing an analog speedometer. Following this trend, [Miro Pavleski]
