My name is Priyank Patel and I am a student at NCIVS in Sarnia, ON. I have a passion for science, which has driven me to participate in the Science fair. I plan to pursue a career in the field of science through post-secondary school and later. I am particularly interested in finding new ways to combat the severe lack of electricity in third world countries. As a science fair participant myself, I would strongly recommend participating in a local science fair, as it is a great learning experience with lots of opportunities. |
| Priyank Patel A Novel Approach to Energy Generation & Storage: Axial Flux with Supercapacitors
Challenge: | Innovation | Category: | Senior | Region: | Lambton County | City: | Sarnia, ON | School: | Northern C.I. & V.S. | Abstract: | The UN estimates that 1.5 billion people still live without easy access to electricity. The goal of this project was to develop a method of generating and storing usable electricity from easily attainable kinetic motion, so it could to be used in areas deficient of electricity. This goal was met by designing/building an efficient, compact system that utilized an axial flux generator and supercapacitors. |
