Solar energy is widely available however there is a limit to the amount of energy that can be stored. This is a reason why solar energy cannot be relied upon 365 days a year. Is there a way to better store the electricity? In batteries? As hydrogen? Or other forms of energy?]]> 2016-10-27 02:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133511529 mong https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133512792 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh8z7atL5fo&feature=youtu.be]]> 2016-10-27 02:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133512792 mong https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133513067 pizoelectricity]]> 2016-10-27 02:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133513067 https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133961497 car engines get as hot as 95c while runing,  using thermoelectric generator we can harvest the heat from the engine by using  Ethanol instead of water since water boil at 100c while  Ethanol boils at 78.37c.

-is there a safety issue with using ethanol?]]> 2016-10-28 17:22:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133961497 https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133964634 but using  ethanol is abit hypocritical since we are tying to conserve fuel but we are boiliing fuel. it is possible if we use  Alcohol to replace ethanol since it boils at a lower tempreture of only  64.7c

-depends on the application. If it increases the energy efficiency, it can be for a good cause.]]> 2016-10-28 17:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133964634 https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/133966514 puting a turbines into pipes has been before but none of them took advantage of gravity instead they took advantage of the current.

Instead of just draining the water away, all the water from the many condensers could be collected in to a large container then released down a long pipe that has generators installed for the water to spin the generators and produce energy. The water could then be piped in to a ln electrolysis machine to break the water down in to hydrogen and oxygen where the hydrogen can be used in a hydrogen fuel cell and the pure oxygen be given to hospitals for patients that have critical conditions and need to breathe pure  oxygen.

- a lot of energy would be needed for electrolysis. Would there be enough electricity generated? 

-Would it be invasion of privacy to install the devices in people's homes?

-What about at rooftops instead?]]> 2016-10-29 02:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mong/mpsschallenge2016/wish/134020554
