CSEF · 2009

Levitation: Applied Electrohydrodynamics

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only) First Award

Objectives/Goals The scientific exploration of unconventional flight is exciting and full of surprises. This science project explorers the relationship between thrust and voltage of an asymm…

CSEF · 2009

Light, Color, and Electricity

Electronics & Electromagnetics Third Award

Objectives/Goals The objective is to examine the effect of light color and intensity on the electricity output of photovoltaic (PV) cells. Since short wavelength light is more energetic than…

Portable Antennas

Electronics & Electromagnetics Second Award

Objectives/Goals My goal to test and select the antenna which represents the best compromise of volume, mass, ease-of-construction, ease-of-erection, and gain when used in portable operation…

CSEF · 2009

Radio Data Link

Electronics & Electromagnetics

Objectives/Goals My Goal is to construct a reliable radio data link operating in the 70cm Amateur Radio band to be used to send commands and telemetry for a range up to 50m. The data link wi…

CSEF · 2009

Reflections on Reflection

Physics & Astronomy Honorable_mention Award

Objectives/Goals The purpose of this year#s science project, Reflections on Reflection, was to attempt to develop a cost effective method of concentrating light onto a photovoltaic solar pan…

CSEF · 2009

Rotating into the Future of Flight

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only) Honorable_mention Award

Objectives/Goals The purpose of my project is to demonstrate that a coaxial contra-rotating proprotor can outperform a single proprotor used on current rotor aircraft today. History, designs…

CSEF · 2009

Ruben's Tube

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals If the smaller the holes on top of the tube would it differ from the size of the flames and the volume? If I drilled the holes 1/2inch from each other, then how about if I d…

CSEF · 2009

Sniff, Sniff

Electronics & Electromagnetics

Objectives/Goals My project is to see if I can turn a plug in air freshener into a battery powered air freshener. I will also make homemade batteries to compare. Methods/Materials My test ob…

CSEF · 2009

Solar Cells: Berries vs. Leaves

Physics & Astronomy Fourth Award

Objectives/Goals The objective of the project is to determine if dye-sensitized solar cells that implement berry pigments absorb more solar energy than dye-sensitized solar cells that implem…

CSEF · 2009

Spin It to the Limit

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only) Third Award

Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine if the rotation speed of a football affects drag on the football Methods/Materials Materials: Home-made wind tunnel - Football Suspension and r…

CSEF · 2009

Sta-Netic

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals My project was to compare the differences between the static and kinetic friction that act upon different objects when they slide down a sheet of glass. I believed that the…
