Universal Adapting Battery Charger 2007
The objective of this topic is to develop an efficient battery charger power supply capable of adapting to a range of applications. This would reduce the needs for battery-charging devices in a typical home or office from several to as few as one.

Light Bulb Exchange!

Light Bulb Exchange 2007
With the goal of education, energy efficient light bulbs will be provided free of charge. Information on how much electricity, money, and green house gases the use of a single bulb will save will be provided as well as information on proper disposal of burnt out bulbs and other local environmental organizations.

Vapor Phase Reforming!

Vapor Phase Reforming of Biodiesel Waste to Hydrogen 2006
The current goal is to build a reactor to produce hydrogen gas from Glycerol (C3H8O3), which is a byproduct of BioDiesel production. The overall process will be carbon neutral, help reduce landfill waste, and be cost negative.
