Envirotech – Fort Frye Technological Design Grades 9-12 Fort Frye High School Mr. Andy Ring
Envirotech Project • Comparing compact fluorescents to incandescent. – Environmental and personal health issues • Research and Lab activity • Personal home inventory and cost savings by switching to CFL’s • Educating parents and the community with PowerPoint presentations.
The next several slides are a sample of student work as well as sample activity sheets.
CFL’s • + use 75% less energy • + last ten times longer • + create less heat • - contains mercury • - takes longer to warm up Parts of a CFL 5/11/09 [image] http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls_about Student- Matt Lang
Incandescent bulbs • + brighter • + used for heating • + no mercury • - use more energy • - don’t last as long Light bulb structure 5/13/2009 [image] http://home.howstuffworks.com/light-bulb1.htm Student – Matt Lang
INCANDESCENT • Heats tungsten filament to produce light • Cheaper per bulb • More expensive to use • More energy required to run • Efficiency as low as 10% • Same technology as the year 1871 Student- Allen Bolden
Differences Between CFL’s and Incandescent Bulbs Student – Derek Bartmess
The Envirotech Light Bulb Test Student – Ricky Arbaugh
My Lighting Cont’d • Currently there are 23 incandescent bulbs in my house. If these were replaced with CFL’s, the savings would equate to a savings of 175.46 dollars per year. • Savings calculated at https://www.aepohio.com/CustomerService/HelpfulInformation/SavingEnergy/EnergyCalculator/LightCalcCSP.asp Student – Allen Bolden

My Own Lighting • My home currently uses only fluorescent and CFL lighting Student – Quentin Bloomfield
How We Can Help • The Ohio Department of Natural Resources maintains a map of recycling and waste management services. • OSU offers guidance on how to properly dispose of household hazardous waste http://ohioline.osu.edu/cd-fact/0102.html • Office of Compliance Assistance and Pollution Prevention gives a fact sheet on mercury in the household http://www.epa.state.oh.us/ocapp/p2/mercury_pbt/mercur.pdf Student – Quentin Bloomfield
The class studied alternative energy and then constructed one source- a Wind turbine.
