David - My name is David Skibinsky. I live in Regina, Saskatchewan and attend Winston Knoll Collegiate in grade twelve. I plan on attending the University of Regina, faculty of engineering, when I graduate, and would like to continue my studies at MIT after that. I enjoy playing hockey (I'm a goalie) and all sports and outdoor activities. I also enjoy school and travelling. One of my dreams is to invent something that will change the world. I would also like to work at NASA some day. | Jordan - I am currently a grade 12 student at Winston Knoll Collegiate. I enjoy travelling, politics, chess, and sports-- more notably soccer.

| David Skibinsky, Jordan Brears Stirling Engine: Thinking Outside the Gas Pump
Division: | Sciences de la santé / Aucun | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | Regina | Ville: | Regina, SK | École: | Winston Knoll Collegiate | Sommaire: | Our project is on the Stirling engine. A Stirling engine is a heat engine that runs on temperature difference. It has an air tight piston chamber, fly wheel, and a foam piston. As the hot air rises it contacts the denser, cooler air and sinks, pushing the piston up and down. We look at the power output and possible modern applications for the engine. |
