The Graphene Enhanced S.W.I.F.T. Unit
| Challenge: | Resources | | Category: | Junior | | Region: | | | City: | , | | School: | | | Abstract: | The Solar Window Insulating Furnace Technology (S.W.I.F.T.) Unit was developed to insulate windows against heat loss, generate electricity and heat rooms. The S.W.I.F.T. Unit is an inexpensive method of heating rooms lacking equator facing windows and therefore not heated through passive heating. Mechanical and electrical enhancements, such as the use of thermovoltaic cells and graphene-coated sheets, have been used to improve the S.W.I.F.T. Unit. |
