Investigatory Project Entitled:

Electrical Activity of Copper and Electrolytes

I. Introduction

Philippines have always been a target of tropical cyclones and calamities.
And let’s admit it; we are not always ready when it comes to disasters. Resources are scarce when we need it. Fortunately, we Filipinos have a knack of being street-smart and resourceful. We can turn any trash to treasure, we can succeed from rags to riches and we already proved that to the world. From any kind of liquids that contains electrolytes, we can produce electric current out from it. Following an experiment from the Mesopotamians and today’s modern, “fruit battery”, we have constructed a simple machine that can be used at any time of need.

Background Of The Study

A thorough research for an exemplary Functional Investigatory Project that could be used as an inspiration came from the media such as the television and internet.
Several other researches were also found but they were very elementary and therefore not suitable for our level. However, browsing through the television channels, one program caught the researcher’s attention. The certain television channel was History
Channel and the host was investigating battery that could have proven that Alessandro
Volta was not the first person to conduct electricity. Scholars are investigating how the
Ancient Egyptians go through the pyramid tombs. Since there was little oxygen, flame cannot be produced, leaving only one type of hieroglyphic to be based upon. A drawing of a giant light bulb. The researcher’s interest in producing light in spite of short resources sparked to help Filipinos in times of distress.

    “… Though Thomas Alva Edison is almost always credited with having invented the lightbulb, an earlier version was developed in England by Sir Joseph Wilson Swan. However, Edison was an important pioneer who went on to make the first successful electrical system.”(Collier 66).

    Jean Rosenthal is considered to be one of the pioneers of theatrical lighting design. She not only mastered the technical side of lighting, but the poetic aspect as well. She did this by using light’s form, color, and movement to express the intention of a piece. She was inspired by the paintings of Rembrandt and Monet. One of Jean’s major contributions was her elimination of shadows. She did this by using floods of upstage lighting and controlling angles and mass illumination to create contrasts without shadows.…

    the current multi-agency/multi-discipline approach to national disasters and emergencies. This summary briefly reviews the history of federal planning documents over the past twenty years as context for the present day, National Response Framework; and then highlights the response doctrine and its five principles, as it seems to encapsulate the National Response Framework overall. “Response doctrine influences the way in which policy and plans are developed, forces are organized and trained, and equipment is procured. It promotes unity of purpose, guides professional judgment, and enables responders to best fulfill their responsibilities.” (NFR, January 2008, Page 8 and 9) This summary draws upon multiple documents from one primary source, the Department of Homeland Security web site. Upon examination of these documents it became clear that as our country faced more frequent and destructive disasters, the more collaborative our preparation, response and recovery efforts had to become; and to coordinate that kind of multi-systems response our first responders and decision makers would need a framework from which to provide a powerful unified response. That document is the National Response Framework. Researching and summarizing this document is a crucial foundation to understanding 21st Century emergency management in the United States.…

    After all, a natural disaster is the epitome of unpreparedness since humans cannot bend and shape the event to our liking, it either forms to become stronger, dissipates, or changes path. Hurricane Katrina proved to America that preparedness should be on the top of the list. The reasons stated above could have all remained avoided if the necessary precautions were planned out. The levees could have easily been upgraded, the action of the United States government and FEMA could have shifted into a higher gear, and lastly, the evacuation plans were announced to slow. The storm itself did a great deal of damage, but its aftermath was catastrophic due to the lack of…

    When I ask you to search for inspiration, how do you find it? Do you search your home, or check your pockets for it? It is not that simple. Inspiration is a very peculiar understanding. So, where does inspiration lie? Every person is different; therefore it would be logical to assume that inspiration is different for everyone. The difficulty we seem to have when finding inspiration is that it does not take a definite form; it can come in many different ways. Inspiration to some may be just mere influence to others. So, how do we determine whether we are inspired by something? To simplify this complex understanding, we must first break down the word ‘Inspiration’. Inspiration is the influence of thought, and strong feelings on actions. Therefore, if we are influenced by thought and have strong feelings in performing a certain action, we are inspired. It is important to understand that inspiration is essential for change. For, it is the solemn item which has shaped our world into what it is today.…

    While many learned professors have abandoned hope of ever discovering the truth behind light bulb, I for one feel that it is still a worthy cause for examination. In depth analysis of light bulb can be an enriching experience. Cited by many as the single most important influence on post modern micro eco compartmentalism, it is yet to receive proper recognition for laying the foundations of democracy. Often it is seen as both a help and a hinderence to those most reliant on technology, trapped by their infamous history. With the primary aim of demonstrating my considerable intellect I will now demonstrate the complexity of the many faceted issue that is light bulb.…

    In early May of 1881 the Boston Journal sent a correspondent named Nick Sidom to New York City, and on May 5th and 7th, the Journal published his letters. His main job was to give a full report of the electric lighting that was put into place around the city by Edison’s Electric Light Company. Wasting no time in his first correspondence, the first line in his letter sums up the seemingly general sentiment of the day. “The electric light, until recently an object of wonder and curiosity than of established interest, is now a familiar feature of the New Your City streets.” To think that the incandescent light bulb itself, one of the most fundamental and most-used products of the last 120-130 years, started out as something amazing to people is amazing in itself. The only thing I could think to compare that to in modern terms would be the invention and…
