  1. Hydrogen power Lindsey Garnett, Anish Dalal, Carlos Moncada, Kevin Meaux, Kishan Modi, James Blaney, Kelly Jaynes, Zach Davis, Miles Sy

  2. Power for the 21st Century • World is facing an imminent energy crisis • Natural resources will soon be exhausted • Global Pandemonium • What is the new energy source? HYDROGEN!!

  3. How Hydrogen Works • Chemical reaction takes place between hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell. • This converts chemical energy into electrical energy. • The hydrogen atom is broken down into positive ions (hydrogen protons) and negative ions (electrons).

  4. How do Hydrogen Fuel Cells Work?

  5. Hydrogen is Positive • Renewable (Oil, the most popular current energy source, is not renewable) • Easy to obtain hydrogen (just run an electrical current through water) • Hydrogen burns clean = no pollution • Releases 3 times more energy than gasoline

  6. Hydrogen is the Future • Public is still unaware of the possible use of hydrogen as an energy source • Someday, hydrogen may power anything from a common lawnmower to an entire city

  7. The Exhibit – Why Hydrogen? • Educate the public with an interesting exhibit that may be a part of their lives in the future • Show the public that hydrogen really can be used as a sufficient energy source

  8. Sub-exhibits • Model about harvesting hydrogen • Natural hydrogen from air and environment • Turned into energy • Model/Presentation showing hydrogen fuel cell • Cross-section of cell • Show visitor what happens within the cell

  9. Model Neighborhood • Model neighborhood powered by hydrogen plant • Show the range of items that can be powered by hydrogen

  10. Interactive Displays • Hydrogen-powered vehicle • Visitor rides on a closed circuit track • Give visitors a sense of how hydrogen works as well as what it can be used for • Attracts children and adults • 3-D Model showing formation of hydrogen • Aluminum/gallium alloy mixed with water reacts to form hydrogen • One of many ways to gather hydrogen

  11. Interactive Displays (cont.) • Make-your-own hydrogen fuel cell • Actually build the cell with provided materials • Attracts adults and children • Hydrogen-powered RC cars • Younger visitors

  12. Main Attraction • Hydrogen-powered cars • Public can sit in and view interior of car • Cars turned on to show silence • Show that the only waste product is water

  13. So What? • Hydrogen is a part of our future • Hydrogen may soon replace many of our natural resources for power • Positive – no pollution, etc. • Educate ourselves now!

  14. Making an Exhibit Our Plan

  15. Timeline

  16. Group Leader Roles • Lindsey – Project Manager • Carlos and Lindsey – Oversee Storyboard Group • Kevin and Anish – Oversee Model Group

  17. Group Member Responsibilities Model Group • Lindsey • Kevin • Anish • James • Kishan Storyboard Group • Carlos • Kelly • Miles • Zach

  18. Group Member Responsibilities (cont.) Exhibit Narrative • Carlos • Kelly Expense Report • Kevin • Kishan

  19. Timeline (cont.)

  20. Brainstorm Storyboard Ideas • 12 panels – maximize amount given • Panels show exhibit as if someone was walking through it from beginning to end • A few panels show the overall exhibit • More hand drawn pictures than collages • Last panel – key messages • Each panel represents one part of the exhibit in no particular order

  21. Best Ideas • Panels are read as if the visitor was walking through the exhibit • Have equal number of collages and drawings if they are appropriate • 12 panels • 1 panel is an overhead view of entire exhibit • 1 panel represents key ideas – at the end

  22. Brainstorm Model Ideas • “Blue” theme • “Train” that carries visitors around a track to view hydrogen information • Go-Karts • Life-size car • Model of fueling station • Shimmering walls • Water projector screen for visuals

  23. Best Ideas • Upon entering, visitors can view the hydrogen fueling station • They move on to a hydrogen-powered “train” that moves around a track with information on the walls and audio playing on headsets • After the ride, visitors can race RC cars powered by hydrogen

  24. Best Ideas (cont.)

  25. CAD Drawings

  26. Timeline (cont.)

  27. Materials and Cost

  28. Timeline for the Future

  29. Timeline for the Future (cont.)

  30. Timeline for the Future (cont.)

  31. Timeline for the Future (cont.)

  32. Timeline for the Future (cont.)

  33. Timeline for the Future (cont.)

  34. Summary • Hydrogen power may replace our energy source in the future • Hydrogen is renewable, easy to obtain, does not give off pollutants, and releases 3 times more energy than gasoline • Public is still unaware of the possible use of hydrogen as an energy source

  35. Summary – The Exhibit • Educate the public! • Sub-Exhibits • Process of making hydrogen fuel cell • Model neighborhood • Powered solely by hydrogen • Interactive Exhibits • Sit in a hydrogen car

  36. Educate yourself now! Hydrogen is Your Future
