2. Eco-Friendly Active Refrigeration System
Based on his early-childhood experience, Anurudh Ganesan was inspired to find a better way of transporting vaccines to distant locations. Since vaccines often arrive either too hot or too cold due to dependence on ice and electricity, he found a way to create a refrigeration system that does not depend on either of the two factors. His simple vapor compression refrigeration system uses a phase change material (PCM) to prevent overheating or overcooling by releasing or absorbing the heat of fusion. You can view the full project details here. And now, let’s see the number one on our list of winning science fair projects for high school.
