Week 3 " visualizing the idea!!"
Basically We had two ideas,
First idea,
We would like to integrate some material into the everyday road that we see in Singapore to convert the heat captured in these road into electricity that we could use. This idea is a realistic idea, as the heat that is produced on the road surface by the sun or the friction from the cars's tires is wasted every single day. If our idea is being carried out, I'm sure it is a good way to convert the Wasted heat into something we could use. A good wa of "recycling" our resources. However due to the lack of enough research, our group is having problems figuring out how the whole idea is gonna be done, what is the technology behind it? How much of electricity could we generate with All those wasted heat. How ever, i'm sure. If our group would to discuss further, deeper into this idea, this would be an excellent idea.
Second idea,
We would like to integrate a system which uses our frequency of rainfalls experienced in Singapore. As we all know, all the rainwater that hits the ground of Singapore, will be brought to our "longkao" system, which will ultimately lead to the sea. When this happens, there would be a current, flow of water in the system. Our idea is to make use of this current, this flow, to produce electricity. We would like to introduce a fan-like thing into the water system which the fN-like thing would be connected to a motor, the current, flow of water would help turn this motor which ultimately generate electricity. We are quite sure this idea would work As we already knows how the technology behind this idea works, however more has to be researched on, like what's the frequency of rainfall in Singapore, how much electricity would be generated by this idea and also stuff like how much is the whole idea gonna cost, hence working out if it's worth cRrying out the idea.
Although we already face so much problems in the starting, I would still say, we are still having good progress due to the enthusiastic team mates we are in the group. :)
