Science Investigatory Project
Converting Saltwater into Electricity I. Introduction
The world we live in is abundant with food, life and resources, but we continue to use up non-renewable resources in massive amounts. As a result, the many nations and countries of the world will have to deal with water, food, and energy shortages, as an effect of overpopulation. This Project presents a new, derived energy source. It will also discuss the methods and ways we can utilize this environmentally-friendly resource to produce an efficient yet clean source of energy.
A. BACKGROUD STUDY: People are already noticing the effects of their never-ending usage of the natural resources of the world, and they also know the current energy shortages that the world is facing. Now, with the introduction of this new kind of renewable energy, the world’s supply of energy will finally be met if this proposal will push through. Since saltwater is renewable, there are already some technologies that can harness it and convert it to electricity for the world to use. With this in mind, we hope to answer and find a solution to world’s energy crisis through this project.
B. STATEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVE: As all other countries in the world do, the Philippines are also faced with the problem of the rapid depletion of natural resources. Fossil fuel, especially coal, is burned in tremendous amounts. Although this is what the general population of the world also depend on, we now know that they cause the release of excessive amounts of greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants when energy is environment by conserving our natural resources. A good example is to utilize the long coastlines to achieve development without too much damage to the environment.
* GENERAL OBJECTIVES: After experimenting on the probability of saltwater as an alternate source of energy, hopefully, it can be seen as beneficial to the world because of its high potential of being used to make electricity.
* SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES: The purpose
