Growing Algae for biofuel and more
Jaal M. and Michael K. propose to build an algae-growing facility and study the requirements for growing algae efficiently in the Pacific Northwest. Congratulations on your grant from the Clean Energy Committee for this research project!
Energy Generating Bikes
Reid T. and Taylor F. propose two new stationary bicycles for the Campus Rec Center. Congratulations on getting funding for this project from the Clean Energy Committee!
MicroHydro Power on Campus
Andrew C, Andrew G, and Candace K propose to evaluate how much electrical power is available from rain runoff of the roofs of Mod housing on campus. Congratulations on your grant from the Clean Energy Committee for this research project!

Transformers: Energy from Playgrounds
Brian L. and Buck M. propose to build scale models to demonstrate the feasibility of generating energy from playground equipment, in Phase I. In Phase II, they would install pickup coils and lights on actual playgrounds to demonstrate their energy-generating capacity, for educational purposes.
