Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals My project objective was to figure out which way you could empty a bowl in the most effective way by spraying water into the bowl. (For example, you can spray water into a w…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Objectives/Goals The objective of this project was to determine if electronic devices take up energy in standby mode and if so, how much energy is being wasted. Methods/Materials A KillAWatt…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals My objective was to determine whether a swim cap reduces drag on a swimmer, and if so, whether a swimmer with long hair or short hair would benefit most. Similar to a cyclis…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals With Superman and Flash as metaphors for "big and strong" versus "small and fast," this projects investigates the relationship between mass, velocity, and force, illustratin…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals To evaluate why motorcycles are less visible in multi lane traffic, and develop methods to increase their visibility. Methods/Materials I measured and compared the view fact…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals The blade angles of wind turbines affect the amount of electricity generated. My research proved that the blades least tilted at an angle of 15 degrees will generate the mos…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Objectives/Goals How does the number of blades and blade shape, size, angle, and curve affect the efficiency of a wind turbine? Methods/Materials Materials: Styrofoam,Balsa Wood,Wooden Rods,…
Aerodynamics/ Hydrodynamics (Junior Division Only)
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals To determine if attaching a winglet to a rigid wing sail on an Americas Cup 72 would affect the amount of drag on the rigid wing sail. I think that the winglet will decrease…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Honorable_mention Award
Objectives/Goals Usually, alarms (fire, burglar etc.) installed in one home, do not communicate with the alarms in neighboring homes. Without an automated system that can immediately send em…
Physics & Astronomy
Objectives/Goals My objective was to learn if wire could move through ice without cutting it in half, and how weight, material and size of wire, vibration and temperature influence this proc…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Third Award
Objectives/Goals Gases normally do not conduct electricity. When a large voltage is applied, current will flow through the gas. This is called the breakdown voltage. At atmospheric pressure,…
Electronics & Electromagnetics
Objectives/Goals Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that causes problems with memory and spatial orientation. Today, over 15% of the 5.4M Americans with AD live alone.…
