| Hi! I'm am AP student in grade 12 from Westwood Community High School (Fort McMurray, AB). Being interested in photovoltaic cells and their renewable energy potential, I was elected to lead the school's Student Body of Science in producing and implementing the district's first ever student-made panels into the school's circuitry. As the President of the school's Robotics Club, I learn Arduino-based programming in my spare time. This project was inspired by a desire to find a creative means to transform acoustic pressure waves into usable form. If further developed, this new technique could mark a paradigm shift in extracting acoustic-based energy. Aside from science, I also enjoy reading, volunteering, and playing basketball. |

The Acousto-Thermal Effect
| Défi: | Innovation | | Catégorie: | Sénior | | Région: | Wood Buffalo | | Ville: | Fort McMurray, AB | | École: | Westwood Community High School | | Sommaire: | Detailed experiments with acoustic absorbers have inspired suggestive proof of deadened acoustic heating. Not only is this phenomenon detectable but it can be harvested and utilized via the thermoelectric effect. Noting sound's ubiquitous renewable energy potential, this project introduces a novel method of exploiting one of the world's most underutilized resources. |
