Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals This project on rocket aerodynamics had two goals. The first goal was to determine which fin shape and location would yield the greatest stability and thus the highest maxim…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Second Award
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my project is to prevent fatigue related accidents by designing a simple, portable and affordable device that would alert the user as soon as he closes his ey…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project is to investigate the performance of a direct methanol fuel cell at three different temperatures. These three different temperatures have been ch…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals This project, Wave Hello to Clean Energy, concerns the recent developments at Oregon State University. Their Motor Systems Resource Facility has created a buoy system, which…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The purpose of my experiment was to find the best position for added weight in front of the neutral point on a paper airplane for long distance flight. My hypothesis was tha…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals Problem Statement: A wave is produced when there is a disturbance in a flexible medium. What happens when two waves travel through the same point? Hypothesis: I predict that…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Objectives/Goals To determine which of the two linear motor propulsion technologies is most effective at propelling a roller coaster vechicle down a track. Methods/Materials In order to prov…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Objectives/Goals The objective of my project was to build a magnetic levitated train, a working EMS system, and a rail gun system. Methods/Materials I used 44 1in neodymium magnets, 46 ½ inc…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals Our question was "Which type of wind turbine is more efficient and useful?" Our purpose for performing this experiment was to determine whether it is more efficient to use H…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals Running a wet finger around a wine glass's rim produces a musical tone. The more water in the glass, the lower the tone's frequency is. I predicted that the frequency is lin…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The question that I'm going to investigate is if a triangular wing flap is added to the back of an existing wing, will this create an opposite spinning vortex to cancel the…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals My project, Wind Wind Go Away Come Again Some Other Day, is to see if specially designed sculptures can reduce and redirect the wind made by the venturi effect at the base o…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Objectives/Goals An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. Generators are now widely used in homes, vehicles, industries as they provide a highl…
