Renewable Energy House
Project Description
This project intends to make the 3D printed (approximately 1'x1.5'x2 in size) that would incorporate different types of renewable energy sources. In particular, we will use solar panels and wind turbines connected to voltmeters to show the electric output based on the environmental conditions. This team will put the house on a transparent soil and install the lights to demonstrate geothermal energy principles. They will also plant grass around the house and make a simulation of biofuel production. The renewable energy house will be used at outreach events at UIUC and local schools. The approximate agenda for this project is: 1. Designing and building a 3D printed house incorporating renewable energy sources. 2. Installing solar panels, wind turbines, and simulation of geothermal systems. 3. Building a platform for the house and seed grass around it to show biofuel production. 4. Using lights and fans of different intensity to generate electric output from the solar panels and wind turbines, while monitoring it with volt-meters. 5. Demonstrating principles of renewable energy generation to students and general audience to increase awareness on the role and benefits of renewable energies in sustainable development.
