The Hottest Band in Town
| Division: | Physical & Mathematical Sciences | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Northern Manitoba | | City: | Thompson, MB | | School: | Ecole Riverside School | | Abstract: | Following a literature search and a series of mini-experiments, I attempted to design, build and optimize an engine powered by the elastic and thermodynamic properties of rubber. Unfortunately, due to unidentifiable reasons, no combination of design variables resulted in significant or sustained function of my rubber band heat engine. |
