Analysis Of Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine Array Optimization, Peter-Claver Nwanze, Keith Bazemore, Jessica Lyons, J. Ann Mitchem

ENERGY Research and Lesson Plans

Wind energy is the fastest growing form of renewable energy, with a multitude of possibilities for expansion. This, as well as other forms of renewable energy, will facilitate understanding of the growing concerns regarding global warming by decreasing our dependence on fossil fuels. Wind energy requires wind speeds of at least six miles per hour; therefore, only certain geographical areas are suitable for the use of this technology. The purpose of this experiment was to determine whether the orientation of an array of wind turbines increases or decreases energy production and efficiency. In this study, various arrays consisting of five …

Solar Tracking Sustainable Energy Education, Tara Hart, Donita Legonas

ENERGY Research and Lesson Plans

Two middle school science teachers collaborated with Georgia Southern lab students to conduct research and experimentation on the benefits of utilizing a dual-axis solar tracking system to assess the amount of voltage received during various times of the day. A smaller similar dual-axis solar tracking system was designed and fabricated to utilize in the teachers’ middle school classrooms in the study of renewable energy and the engineering and design process.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Sydney Pilgrim, Skyler Smith

ENERGY Research and Lesson Plans

Hydrogen fuel cells are hydrogen powered energy sources. They convert chemical energy into electrical energy by separating water molecules into the two elements that make up water, Hydrogen (2) and Oxygen (1). Hydrogen fuel cells are looking to become a paramount energy producer to avoid consuming fossil fuels for power. Along with the abundance of Hydrogen in the atmosphere being a benefit of using Hydrogen powered fuel cells, the only emission from these energy sources is water vapor. Many car engines only operate at a 20% fuel efficiency, whereas fuel cell powered cars utilize 60% of the energy produced. Although …

Principles Of Wind Energy Production, Willie Haynes, Dianne Lhotte, Johnetta Moore

ENERGY Research and Lesson Plans

Three public school teachers designed basic wind turbine energy production tests to help them teach wind energy principles to middle and high school students. Variables affecting wind turbine energy production were identified (distance from wind tunnel, blade design, angle of attack, and wind speed), and experiments were conducted to test each variable. This research aligns with Georgia DOE curriculum standard STEM-FET-3.7: Apply STEM knowledge and skills through hands-on research and lab experiments that are focused upon recreating the inventions and social solutions that were realized in the past, present, and possible future. These experiments will be a part of an …

Module 2: Solar Powered Cricket Lab & Engineering Guest Speaker, Lindsay Snowden

ENERGY Research and Lesson Plans

Students will participate in a Solar Panel Cricket lab to determine which environmental condition would allow for the solar panel to produce the most power. The three conditions are inside, inside with a flashlight, or outside in the sun. The students will complete a correlating lab worksheet. Students will also ask questions and hold discussions with the guest speaker. Students will actively participate while the guest speaker is presenting.
