| 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. The muse of my project was an article published in The New York Times, reporting on the severe lack of electricity in third world countries. I decided that I would create a method of producing usable electric energy from an easily attainable resource, to solve for this deficiency. After creating my project, I have plans to expand upon it to make it a more marketable product, and perhaps have it as a selling product one day. 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. |

You’re Hot and You’re Cold: Using the Seebeck Effect to Produce Usable Energy
| Challenge: | Innovation | | Category: | Intermediate | | Region: | Lambton County | | City: | Sarnia, ON | | School: | Northern C.I. & V.S. | | Abstract: | The goal of this project is to create a viable method of converting heat from readily available sources into usable electricity. This technology can be used in remote areas or in the case of emergency situations to charge a dead cell phone, or to power an LED(s). The designed device will be cost effective (less than $70), simple, compact, and efficient. |
