Unblocking The Main Thread Solving ANRs and Frozen Frames
Final Presentation
1.
2. Throwing away one aluminum can
wastes the same amount of energy as
filling it half way with gasoline and then
dumping in the drain.
Facts like this inspired me
to construct a magnetic
generator for my senior
project.
3. Current solar technology is inefficient and
expensive
› Only 20% of light becomes energy
› 1 solar panel – $1,000
Magnetic generators have
zero emissions and can be
placed anywhere.
This technology was available
decades ago.
4. Newton: “Energy cannot be created nor
destroyed”
No more water can be
removed from the cup than
is already present (energy
on earth)
Unless the cup is already
under a faucet (earth)
5. Our society is not limited by a lack of
technology, but by a hunger for power.
People would not be powerless due to
geography, and power outages would be left
in the past.
6. Fossil fuels are currently being consumed
at a rate 100,000 times faster than they
are formed.
Oil companies represent a large amount
of money globally.
Fossil fuels drive
the world, and
have led to
many wars.
7. Oil is the most relied on source
of energy, supporting 90% of
transportation needs, and
nearly 40% of all energy
needs.
Coal supports upwards of
90% of all domestic energy
needs in the United States,
and is currently the largest
source of unregulated
mercury emissions in the
country.
8. When you drive up to a traffic light, your
car changes the magnetic field of wire
underneath you.
This sends a signal to change the light to
allow you to pass.

11. Getting magnets to stick on wheel
Winding 900 turns of two copper wires
together on one spool
12. During one test a large part of the wiring
caught on fire.
I had to rewire the entire project
because the parts became overloaded.
13. Magnetic generators are simply no
longer the focus of tomorrow.
This technology was never
manufactured, and never truly caught
on.
The focus is now on solar panels and
wind turbines.
14. Each are fairly inefficient and subject to weather
conditions.
Large farms are made with these.
This technology is still something that can be
monopolized and sold to consumers.
This maintains the positions of power companies,
which would loose revenue is personal magnetic
generators were mass produced.
15. Look into alternative energy sources
Think about switching to natural gas
Reduce carbon footprint
Build a magnetic generator
