Passionate Passivity

Manipulated:
Passive photovoltaic panel tracking system used (Conventional vs. Design)

Responding:
Net power output
Accuracy in perpendicular angle alignment
Accuracy in seasonal north-south tracking

Controlled:
Type and strength of photovoltaic panel used in construction
Materials used to measure net power output and system accuracy
General common materials used in the construction of both
Ambient environmental conditions for testing
Artificial light source simulation used
Methodology used to measure net power output and accuracy

(This website details preliminary work for Passionate Passivity, corresponding with the Calgary Youth Science Fair in March 2008. Significant project changes and design modifications have been made to Passionate Passivity since the creation of this website. To ensure intellectual property protection, final work spanning from approximately June 2007 to April 2008 will be first presented at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in May 2008. This website should not be utilized as a reference for Eden Full's ISEF 2008 research.)
