Weather Harvester
| Challenge: | Innovation | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | Greater Vancouver | | City: | Vancouver, BC | | School: | St George's School | | Abstract: | Energy crisis and the severe weather are two of the biggest problems facing us today. Precipitation contained potential energy, and wind had kinetic energy. A piezoelectric roof was innovated that had a potential to be widely implemented to harvest and store weather energy. Experimentation timed the speed the Weather Harvester collected a specific amount of energy under actual weather conditions. Results proved our innovation feasible. |
