Enhancing Transformer Performance with Modified Carbon Nanotubes

This project, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, aims to improve transformer properties by modifying Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) through doping and coating processes. Cu wires will be replaced by CNT threads to design a transformer that can power LEDs. The final product will feature a battery connected to the primary coil and LEDs connected to the secondary coil. Participants will learn about transformer functionality, CNT properties, and the processes of doping and coating CNT threads. Materials needed include Carbon Nanotube threads, Nitric Acid, and Sulfuric Acid. The timeline includes research, experimentation, data collection, analysis, and final deliverables preparation.
