Substituent Effects on Phenol
No full textThis project focuses on how adding various substituents to the already existing phenolmolecule will influence its structure and stability. Phenol is an antiseptic often found in household cleaners and is also used in small amounts as an anesthetic. 11 non-metal substituents are added within the para location to see whether or not the said substituent will affect the molecule. Our goal is to find a substituent that will maximize the stability of the molecule, meaning having the lowest energy difference and most similar calculations to the original. The calculations for bond distances, bond angles, molecule energies, and the main dihedral angle were measured for H, CH3, NH2, OH, F, PH2, SH, Cl, CF3, CN, and CH2CH3 substituents. Following the original calculations, data will be taken to measure the effect of two substituents on the phenol
Cryptocurrency Heat Generator
No full textHeating is a necessity to families all across the world in climates with cold weather. This heating is not always cheap though, and many families can struggle to pay electric bills associated with constantly running heaters. As cryptocurrencies become more and more popular, more people want to invest into this new currency. When cryptocurrency is mined, the computer components produce large amounts of heat, but quite often that heat is just released into the air and effectively wasted. We want to create products that would allow people to quickly and easily mine crypto, and then use this heat in their homes. We would sell a range of products, from central air systems consisting of large amounts of GPUs, and simple portable heaters with just one or two GPUs inside of them. This would reduce, if not eliminate electric bills depending on how the cryptocurrency market was doing at that given moment. When the market is doing well, it can even be income. The only thing one would need to use this product is an internet connection, and basic knowledge of crypto
