I am a member of athletic clubs such as the division one hockey and soccer teams at my school. I am also involved in school clubs such as the Robotics East club, and I am a co-president and founder of the school science club. I am involved in my community in various ways. I have participated in a Curl for Cancer event, in which I raised money through fundraising, and I also canvass for the Canadian Cancer society every year. I am an active member of my church, where I enjoy serving food during meal events. I have also been a 4-H member for nine years. In the summer, I have worked as a swimming instructor, and played summer soccer as a goaltender. I have many hobbies and interests including fishing, model rocketry, art and astronomy. My favourite area of science is physics because I enjoy understanding the most basic interactions of the universe. Next year I plan to attend the University of Toronto where I am enrolled in the Engineering Science program. |
| Darren Rodenhizer Clean Energy from Scrap Tire Combustion
Division: | Sciences de la santé / Innovation environnementale | Catégorie: | Sénior | Région: | South Shore | Ville: | New Germany, NS | École: | Park View Education Centre | Sommaire: | Infrared spectrometry analysis was conducted to identify the combustion products of vulcanized rubber. A carbon dioxide filter was then constructed and incorporated into an incinerator system that burns scrap tires to produce thermal energy. The main byproducts of this system are calcium carbonate, water vapor, and tire ash. This system allows scrap tires to be used as a source of clean energy. |
