PROJECT DESCRIPTION
We had to design and build a device that converts one form of energy into another form of energy. We had to understand and outline each of the reactions on a molecular level and energy transfers involved and provide a presentation of our model. We needed to research our technical specifications to understand them and to conduct experiments to increase efficiency.
My group intended to build a fan that could be powered by a series of lemon batteries.
CONTENT
My proof of efficacy document outlines our model as well as each of my group's trials, and can be found below.
My group's presentation can be found below.

REFLECTION
My group came up with ideas quickly and were able to decide on a project idea that we all agreed with. We settled on the idea of a lemon battery and fan on the first day of the project and were quick to agree on new adjustments for each trial. We moved through each trial quickly because we did not have much conflict with ideas. Although, my group had communication issues, especially involving our presentation. We had spent our time working on each trial, and had not spent enough time on our slideshow. We used most of our time completing the trials for our model, and did not finish with a fluid presentation. We also did not spend enough time making sure each team member fully understood the reactions in the circuit, and did a lot of explaining towards the end of the project.
I worked on this project with Nick Brandis, Suyash Krishan, and Thomas Towey.
