Produce clean electricity by yourself
Title of your project
1. What Problem do you want to solve ?
The last Thursday, we were walking on the street heading to a park but we did not have battery anymore on our mobile phone. We were looking for a charger but it’s hard to find it in the street. We did not have charger, no mobile phone, but we needed to find our way. Our idea came out to create something to produce energy to get our battery back whenever we want. Do we necessarily need a nuclear power plant to get electricity ? What if getting electricity would be easy as pie ?
Nowadays we know that in some few years minerals will disappear among them coal (108 years), copper (61 years), tin and zinc (40 years) and silver (29years). We believe that electricity power is the substitute of these energies because it’s a clean and durable energy (there is no emission of CO2 from the electricity power). However the production of electricity isn’t sustainable because we use pollutant materials. For example: nuclear power plants, one of the major producer of electricity but they are not durable for our environment. Hence the activity of nuclear power plants reject radioactive waste underground, in the atmosphere and also in our oceans. So our problem is that we do not know how to produce electricity without polluting the environnement and to help the well-being of human.
2. Why does this problem exist?
Minerals fields on earth are not eternal, the next generate won’t be able to use coal, tin, silver… It’s time to find another way for them as for us to live properly without these energies.
Minerals field is decreasing because we over-consume comparing to the last century. The land can not satisfy the needs of human being. Either we reduce our consumption either we use an alternative way to not damage the ground. Furthermore energy demand increases due to the environment we have made. Indeed it is now very difficult to live and be independent without electricity. For example, to enlighten us we mostly all use electricity instead of oil lamp, petrol lamp or candles. In our society electricity is an integral part of everyday life.
Moreover we are dependent on electricity we would love to get this energy whenever and wherever we want. People want to have a more confortable life, they wish the best. In addition electric power is the best way because it's cheap, fast and easy to use.
An other reason is that we are in a society where the numeric is in expansion and will continue to growth. Hence the numeric time will increase the electricity consumption. Even watches are becoming connected to electricity and need a high energy.
Try to think a day without electricity and you’ll find out all problems we can get.
3. What breakthrough are you commited to creating?
Our breakthrough is to produce electricity thanks to the human activity.
And why not create electricity on our own?
We know that there are already some innovations that allow people to create their own electricity, as solar panels, electric windmills and so on. However those concepts are not focus on the humans energy. Everyday we generate a lot energy to walk, move, speak and work. Then some people want to respect the planet by consuming less energy which is affecting our environment but they can not because even using electricity is not sustainable.
So we think that this strength we use day by day in our gesture can be transfer in electricity production.
We thought to contact some experts to know better about this project among them: -EDF - Engineer School - Erwan Menthéour - Pierre Dukan - Decathlon - APTE
