Abstract Air transport plays a crucial role in modern life. It facilitates global transport, international travel and is critical to the workings of the world. However, the industry is heavily reliant on fossil fuels to operate. It is essential to consider alternative fuel options in which aviation can survive without finite fossil fuels. This poses …
Abstract Europa, one of Jupiter’s four large Galilean moons, is a target of prime importance for exploration. This is due to the likely presence of a global subsurface liquid water ocean beneath a water ice crust, raising the possibility that Europa could support simple life. Future mission concepts include a lander deploying a probe to …

Inbar Adiel, 11th Grade, Golda Och Academy, NJ January 31st, 2021 ABSTRACT This research documents the levels of CO2 during two long international flights that took place on December 11th, 2020 and January 1st, 2021 (US -> Israel and Israel -> US). Based on CDC guidelines, the risk of becoming infected with COVID-19 increases dramatically …
Abstract: A photocell is a light dependent resistor which is most resistive when the brightest light is illuminated on its surface and least resistive when little to no light is illuminated on its surface. In that sense, a photocell is a meter for the intensity of light. Figure 1: Picture of a photocell \”photocell-2\” by …
Figure 1: Flywheel \”D10 Flywheel\” by tudedude is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 Abstract Energy storage is vital to our modern-day society as a method of reacting to the supply and demand of electrical energy[1]. Alongside the global push to transition from non-renewable to renewable energy sources, there also exists a need to improve energy …

What effect does engine RPM have on fuel economy? Jack Munro [1] Abstract This article will discuss the effect of engine revolutions per minute on fuel economy, and analyse relevant data collected in a controlled and reliable way. A car will be driven consistently around a controlled street circuit, changing gear at different engine speeds …

Approximately two million Americans live with limb loss; many amputees rely on prosthetic devices to help them overcome physical and mental obstacles [1]. Prosthetic devices are engineered to replace missing body parts such as limbs, organs and bones. Over the past few years, innovations in materials engineering, 3D printing and computer-aided design have allowed for …
Student Research Paper by Rishub Shah ([email protected]) Mentor: Dr. Franz Richter ([email protected]). Thanks for the opportunity: Dr. Michael Gollner ([email protected]). December 2020 Abstract Wildfires are a leading cause of property damage, injury and death throughout the world. A major way in which wildfires spread is through embers or firebrands. The transport and deposition of embers …
