Brain Storming Experiments

During last classes brain storming, we didn’t have a main focus, so we all just kind of searched around online browsing different experiments to perform that would demonstrate comparable measured trials. I came across a few interesting ideas in my searches, a solar cooker, solar heater, and last but not least, homemade graphite lightbulb.

Here’s a screenshot of the Sci Guys video demonstrating the experiment (and not to mention the original video that grabbed each of our interest) Screen Shot 2016-04-07 at 12.20.32 PM

After getting this idea approved, we scrambled to find out the materials necessary and how we would go about this performing this experiment. Since this is all powered on a line of batteries connected by electric tape, connecting the two end batteries to the graphite, we decided to perform three separate experiments, sort of. We decided to start out with 6 batteries, then move up to 8 (which is the required amount) and then add on till we have about 12 batteries  connected, hoping that we will successfully portray the different strength in the light that will happen when changing the amount of batteries used (messing with the source of power, essentially).

We’re excited to move forward with this experiment.

  1. This looks like an awesome experiment! I am excited to see it performed in class. I think your group is going to have a lot of success with this. Nice teamwork efforts made as well.
