Pico Power Generation for the Developing World

Author: Mr. Loren Wyard-Scott
Co-Author: Dr. James Smith

In this project, students create a power source capable of providing 1 Watt-hour of energy for night-time use. The students learn how access to even a small source of electrical power can make a difference to families in remote, undeveloped areas of the world. They also learn some basics of circuits, energy, and motors and generators, and gain experience with an engineering development process.
