Solar Shock

Electronics & Electromagnetics

Objectives/Goals Goal-create a solar-related energy sorce which can power any type of electronic using no advanced eqipment Methods/Materials -A sheet of Copper Flashing. -Alligator Clip Lea…

CSEF · 2008

Stability of Rockets

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only) Honorable_mention Award

Objectives/Goals I believe that if a rocket's center of gravity (CG) is significantly ahead of the rockets center of wind pressure (CP) it should fly stably. By increasing the distance betwe…

CSEF · 2008

String Systems in Musical Instruments

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals To generate unique sounds with string systems, and to analyze their wave form and spectrum graphs Methods/Materials Using an old guitar, guitar string, wood, and tuning keys…

CSEF · 2008

Supercharged

Electronics & Electromagnetics

Objectives/Goals The purpose of this project is to see if there is some way of increasing the amount of power you can get out of a solar cell without having to make some complicated changes…

CSEF · 2008

Superconductor Pendulum: An Energy Paradox

Electronics & Electromagnetics Honorable_mention Award

Objectives/Goals Since the Law of Conservation of Energy should hold, if the superconductor- pendulum (made of Yttrium, Barium, and Copper Oxides) is below the critical temperature of 92K, i…

CSEF · 2008

Surf Power

Electronics & Electromagnetics

Objectives/Goals Purpose: To prove that when looking at the power available in a wave, the height of the wave has a greater contribution than the period of the wave. Methods/Materials MATERI…

CSEF · 2008

Temperature vs. Refraction

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine if the temperature of water affects the refraction of red laser light. Methods/Materials A laser pointer and a ruler taped to the bottom of a t…

CSEF · 2008

The Aerodynamics of the Wing

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)

Objectives/Goals For my science fair I am doing aerodynamics of the wing. I thought of this topic when I was flying back to LA from Indianapolis. I saw through the window of the plane, the m…

CSEF · 2008

The Case of the Hide and Seek Photons

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals My experiment is trying to demonstrate one of the strange phenomena of quantum mechanics; the dual wave-like or particle-like behavior that a particle (electron or photon) e…

CSEF · 2008

The Effects of Tail Assemblies on Gliders

Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)

Objectives/Goals My objective was to find out the effect of different tail assemblies on gliders. I believe that the T-tail assembly will have the farthest flight distance because the horizo…

CSEF · 2008

The Fuss over Fuel Cells

Electronics & Electromagnetics Honorable_mention Award

Objectives/Goals Hydrogen fuel cells are electrochemical energy conversion devices. This means that they convert chemical energy into electrical energy. This process is able to occur only wh…

CSEF · 2008

The Incredible Expanding Comet Holmes

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals My project measures the coma (dust cloud) around Comet Holmes. I want to find out if the dust cloud is expanding, and if so, is the rate of expansion accelerating or deceler…

CSEF · 2008

The Power of the "Magic Rock"

Electronics & Electromagnetics

Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to find the exact ratio of a one gram magnet to the mass of various metal rods in increasing increments. By testing the magnet to my smallest…

Objectives/Goals why the sky has multiple colors at different times and places during the day. Methods/Materials fishtank,water,milk,measuring cup,flashcard,flashlight. Pour 3/4 of water int…

CSEF · 2008

The Shadow Knows Where You Are

Physics & Astronomy

Objectives/Goals This project tested the accuracy of different ancient tools. These tools, the gnomon, the astrolabe, and Ptolemy's box, were used to find the altitude of the sun. From this…

CSEF · 2008

The Shock of Your Life!

Electronics & Electromagnetics

Objectives/Goals The goal of my project was to find out what gauge wire will have the least amount of power dropped at any length wire. This goal was important to me because it will really h…
