Alternative Energy What would be a simple alternative energy school project?

Question by Football fan: What would be a simple alternative energy school project?
For some dumb reason I thought a class called “Alternative Energy Today” wasn’t going to be about actually making something. Have any ideas for a project that involves reusable energy? Simplist one gets best answer.

Best answer:

Answer by J.
Many options, but you do not give any grade level to make a reasonable suggestion. Many projects are simple that you can actually put use at your home, from a solar box oven, even a black piece of plywood, a car inner tube, and a pane of glass will capture enough heat for you to put a cast iron pot or black enamel pot in and cook up a rice based dish in a few hours.

There are also heat penals you can make from spare windows and a scrap of black metal that you can use as a dupplemental heat source for your home, or a coil of copper tubing in that same basic box to make a thermo siphon water heater, and if made with food grade materials, could be used for making coffee,tea, or whatever you want.

There are a multitude of ideas here: http://www.builditsolar.com just go through the projects section and you will find something.
