=Wind Power By:Claire= media type="custom" key="3598704"media type="custom" key="3576800" Wind Power By:Claire My name is Claire. I am a sixth grader. I did a project on wind power. I built a windmill and I built a car, a stand for the car, and a stand for the windmill. I needed wood, rubberbands,and more to make my project work. I think my project is special because i thought of it on my own. First I built my windmill and car out of wood and a lot of hot glue.When every thing was put together, I attched a rubberband to my windmill. When I twisted up my rubberband, the windmill spun and the car started moving. I was so excited to know my project actually worked.I would have put a picture of my model but it broke before l could get a picture of it. I got my picture of three windmills from google [] I got my picture of the big windmill from google []

=Am I or am I not making ethanol? Anyway, here's how it's done.= media type="custom" key="3574744" My name is Cameron. I did a project on making ethanol, or, at least the process. I couldn't actually make it, as you learned by the talking picture. I did, however, ferment other types of sugar than xylose. As a result, I got balloons filled with carbon dioxide, a by- product of fermenting sugar. The types of sugar I used were honey, table, brown, and powdered. The honey-and-water-and-yeast mix ( three-fourths of a half- liter bottle of warm water + a half-packet of fast-rise yeast + three scoops of sugar) did not do very well, as it is the pretty deflated balloon you see in the picture. The same mix with table sugar worked about three times as well, with a very big balloon as a result. The brown sugar did not do well __**AT ALL**__, in fact, the balloon got __**sucked into the bottle**//__! The powdered sugar did alright, not big nor small. Well, that is my project, hope you like it.

P.S.- I think the brown sugar got sucked into the bottle because it froze over night, but I DON'T KNOW! TRY IT YOURSELF!

=My Ecology Project: Which Fuel Burns the Cleanest??????=

media type="custom" key="3575448" This is how I burned my fuels. The ring stand is what made the soda can held in the air with the thermometer so then on the paper clip I put a of piece clothesline on it. Then I would light the piece of clothesline then I would put 10 drops of the fuel on it then burn it.

My name is Anthony. For my project my question was which fuel burns the cleanest. My fuels were motor oil, peanut oil, vegetable oil, kerosene, methanol, ethanol. The peanut oil, vegetable oil, and ethanol were the cleanest. The rest of the fuels were dirty. []

=HYDRO CAR= media type="custom" key="3575806"media type="file" key="JW.wmv" Hello my project was on alternative fuels. I decided to build a hydro car. It took two long days but I had finished it. The car runs on pure clean watter and takes out the carbon and turns the water into electricity. And it used a fuell cell to make the electricity and my results were perfect .The image above is a picture of my hydro car.

My project is about wind power. I built a wind turbine out of wood. It wasn't very hard accually it just took awhile. So as you have heard in my blabberize it didn't work but probably the reason it didn't work was because I probably did not connect the wires right. I just need to try it again and it should work.
