In the beginning of this project our main goal was to be able to convert chemical energy to another form of useful energy. My group and I were not exactly sure what the best way was to go about this so we had to look up ideas and brainstorm. We found out that we can could transfer this chemical energy into electrical, light, sound, thermal, potential, kinetic, and elastic energy. After figuring out this my group and I were settled on making a battery. Our original goal was to make a battery strong enough to charge a phone, however we were unable to create enough volts for this. We could not turn on the phone but could easily turn light and LED.
My group and I made originally started with a coin battery, when that produced very minimum volts we changed it up. After we made a lemon battery which worked much better and produced much more volts. After modifying a whole bunch of things we got the voltages to an all time high but were still unable to power an iPhone. Throughout this project my group and I made many changes to our battery and each one made it better and better, if we had more time and much more lemons i'm sure that we would have been able to produce enough volts to turn on a phone.

Throughout this project, I think it all went really well. My group and I all worked very well together and got along very well. Also everyone contributed work and ideas that were very useful to our project. Also I thought that our final project went really well. Not to many things didn't go well, in the begging it was a rough start with ideas and what to do but other than that it went really well. I learned a lot about myself, for one how interesting it was to actually make a power source to power something else and another one was how i was able to get my brain going with ideas that would help our project.
One peak for this project was realizing how awesome it was to make something that was able to power another thing and another peak was how well I was able to work in group with my friends very productively. One Pitt for this project was at times not understanding fully what was going on with the content and another one was why some of the modifications we made benefited our project. One thing that i could have done better was pay attention more to the concepts and not just the building. Another one was to listen to other members ideas to benefit our project.
