Electricity From Snow
| Division: | Health Sciences / Environmental Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | | | City: | , | | School: | | | Abstract: | This project looks at whether it is possible to use snow and air at room temperature to make electricity using a Peltier module, which produces electricity when there is a temperature differential between its two sides. A home-designed thermoelectric generator was used to determine that snow at 0°C and air at 20°C does not create a big enough temperature differential to generate 1 volt. |
