Further Research:

             Various kinds of experiments can be done to further investigate the subject presented in this experiment. A further research could be done on determining if the burning of ethanol mixed with hydrogen peroxide is actually cleaner and more environmental friendly as our aim is not only to produce a stronger fuel but also a safe and cleaner fuel that is not harmful to the environment. Also, experiments could also be done to access the effects of the burning of the fuel on vehicles as we want vehicles to be endurable in running as well. Furthermore, experiments involving adding other oxidizers to ethanol could also be done to compare the results obtained with hydrogen peroxide as they all hold similar properties that could aid in combustion. Experiments measuring heat produced by the use of a furnace could also be carried out as to measure the exact work done produced more accurately as the heat of the flame is directly measured.
