Further Improvement

This project has been focusing on simulation and calculation instead of real experiments due to time and space issue. To provide an accurate result in the real world, the experiment should be carried out with hardware. The experiment might even propose different insights on the possible impacts and a more accurate reading in a real life situation. This would provide a more convincing proof for people.

With more understanding on the possible impacts, more suitable software should be used to study the impacts. It is important to have more knowledge on the software used because it would take up long time for one to understand it fully, not to say operating it for desired purpose.

Last but not least, a more complete set of data could be obtained with more knowledge on the study. Default values and assumptions would not be as accurate as the parameters in real life situation as different places have different standards of regulation and environment readings.
