We will make an energy transfer device in this science project in 2 weeks.
Ideas for making:
- Perpetual motion device
Pros: Contains educational purpose,
Cons: Hard to build, complicated science concept, doesn’t theoretically work
Challenge: ☆☆☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆
Skills used: I might be using fusion for this project, gluing cardboard together and using a magnet that makes this device work
Precedents:

Audience: Anyone that is interested in perpetual motion devices
A video showing how to make a perpetual motion device could be an idea for me, but I might need to change where I put the magnet.
- Elastic-propelled car
Pros: Easy to make, not time-consuming, Fun to play with
Cons: hard to make any change to the car
Challenge ☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆
Skills used: Using elastic bands, gluing wood together
Precedents:
Audience: Mainly kids because it is like a toy but it could also be for adult that just want to have fun and play with cars.
A good idea of how I can build a small car, similar idea to my project. Could be used as a model and add more ideas to modify the car and find ways to make the car go faster or be more efficient.
- Windmill turbine generator
Pros: Concept is easy
Cons: Hard to light up the LED windmill to small can’t spin as fast when alone.
Challenge ☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆
Skill used: using battery and wires, making a circuit to light the LED
Precedents:
Audience: people who wants to light up a led light or people who are interested in different way to light-up LED’s
Video shows me a way to build a circuit to light up led light seems easy but could be hard to build by my self. They are using a larger fan to help the wind mill spin faster needs to find a way to make the windmill spin faster.
- Electrical car
Pros: fun and entertaining
Cons: Attaching the motor to the wheels might be hard, soldering might be hard
Challenge: ☆☆☆/☆☆☆☆☆
Skill used: Soldering, making an electric circuit, gluing the car together, drilling
Precedents:
Audience: People at all age that wants to play with an electrical car or have fun with a small car.
The video gives me an idea of how to make the electrical car but might need to change where I place the motor and the materials I use to make the car.
