Engineering Demonstrations

HOVERCRAFT – https://goo.gl/4DZnk6
Horizon Science Academy Cleveland High School – Robert Rogers
Vents of slow-moving, low-pressure air are ejected downward against the surface below the hovercraft to create gliding motion on a cushion or air.

REVERSIBLE THERMOELECTRIC GENERATOR – https://goo.gl/Z7swtJ
Horizon Science Academy – Cleveland High School – Cameron Bray
This amazing prototype shows how the temperature difference causes charge carriers (such as electrons) to move from the hot side to the cold side, thus creating an electric current

MAGLEV TRAIN – https://goo.gl/WCO5cR
Horizon Science Academy – Cleveland High School- Del-Marcus Goolsby
With maglev, a vehicle travels along a guideway using magnets to create both lift and propulsion, thereby reducing friction by a great extent and allowing very high speeds.

ENERGY BIKE – https://goo.gl/tuf9kU
Horizon Science Academy – Columbus High School – Tyler Webb, Kevin Ansong
Energy Bike uses the RPMs off the bicycle to turn a motor and generate electricity. The DC current from the motor is converted to AC current in the power inverter.

MAGNETIC LINEAR ACCELERATOR – https://goo.gl/efc0uB
Gateway Science Academy – Fyler – Brandon Sidenstricker
Magnetic Linear Accelerator is a device that uses the power of magnetism and kinetic energy to fire projectiles at high speeds. They are used in multiple innovative inventions such as roller-coasters.

SUPER-FLEX I-BEAM – https://goo.gl/5NGIz4
Michigan Math and Science Academy – Diamond Henderson
Lightweight and flexible, the Super-Flex I-Beam still demonstrates the characteristic properties of an I-Beam, namely that it shows how weight can be reduced while still maintaining structural strength.
