Abstract

The increasing production and usage of non biodegradable

materials has contributed to the drastic changes in the
environment. Especially the improper disposal and elimination of it,
resulting to both pollution and warmer temperature, as initiative
our group decided to use an air cooling system that is made up of
recycled materials.

The project is made by using plastic bottles as vent and

bonded in to a carton with internal components of one fan propeller
and an alternative current motor and source of energy.

And we find it out to be effective in converting room

temperature to cooler air, and also lessen the waste of non
biodegradable. Furthermore, it is also change temperature better at
narrower angle of opening.

Introduction
The advancement of technologies and sciences has greatly
favored the life of human kind. Since the industrialization the cons
of this development is threatening. Especially, when it alters the
natural flow of the environment, it can use to flourish an organism
and for the others to become extinct, and tips the balance between
nature and man. As consequences we now face drastic changes in
climate, lesser food stability, competition and smaller area to live.
As actions of humans result into habitat loss, conversion of forest
to agriculture and housing, flooding of lower coastal areas, faunal
death and Global warming.

Due to emission of greenhouse gases that trap heat form solar

radiation causes a threat to the autotrophic species, for it can cause
violet deluge and devastating famine that are not suitable for the
organisms to thrive. Global Warming is also thought be a natural
occurring, considering we are at the warm period between ice ages.
(Focus on earth Science Prentice Hall). However researchers of the
California Atmospheric institutes (2017) stated that it may be
natural but humans are making it faster in adding the production
of greenhouse gases that effectively lessen the conversion of it by
plants.
 Not only the result of rising temperature but also the addition
of pollution, making the lives of human more difficult to live and life
itself to strive in the planet. Likewise, the adaption of organisms can
interfere with the humans in shelter and food.

Luckily we can still cure the disease in its younger stage that
is why we tend to help in recycling and prevention of global
warming by our simple project.

Background
The Principle of condensing air is no longer new as early as the
mid 90’s. The production of refrigerators greatly increased the
shelflife of foods and prevents contamination. Using a more advance
and sophisticated method of compression in condensing rod, the
machine can cool to freezing point.

The same way how mostly air conditioner function. In our

project the principle is just the same but more simple and
uncomplicated. Downscaling it with lesser parts and using
materials that can be recycled and easy to be found. The alternative
cooling system uses the principle of mechanical low pressurization.
(How it worked? 1993 by Alserav Bagathwas) .

When the fan’s blades turn the air molecules around it tend to
gain kinetic energy and moves excitedly, resulting to low pressure
nearby the blades. Colder air which is heavy will move towards the
warmer air resulting to wind. Likewise the generation of energy
itself by the rotation of the blades contributes greatly to maximize
the effects. This is the same with our blade inside the box, when the
warm air from the back is suck by the warmer air close to the blade
it generates movement and in the condensation because of smaller
opening made the air molecules to compress just like how the
formation of ice. It can also demonstrate in the opening of the
mount when we breathe air the narrower the cooler.

Statement of Problem
The escalation of Global Warming and Pollution to the
environment, in what extent, can the project help dwindle the
disposal of non biodegradable materials to the environment and
maintain the consciousness of people towards balance? Also is its
consumption of energy be far safer, efficient and eco friendly?

Can also be the project useful to sustain enough force to

satisfy the user and the one who needs in its workplace and use as
tool to relief from warm temperature? Are there any chances to
create cool air using the principle of air condensation in the project,
likewise the appropriate opening and mechanical energy for more
efficient performance of the said project?
Hypothesis
Null Hypothesis
An alternative air cooling system can produce the same
temperature with other sophisticated cooling machines given the
increase in energy and the passage of the air flow.

Alternative hypothesis
The alternative air cooling system can create cooler air with
narrower opening and larger container to maximize the recycle
materials used and its efficiency.

Significance of the Study

Plastics are far better to store goods for longer of period of time
and it is used often to pack water and foods. Therefore increasing
the amount of it to be produce, also for its cheaper value most likely
the people will dispose it instead of recycling. As for our project, it
can be beneficial to the not only to oneself but also to others.

We can help prevent pollution via small consumption of

electricity and slow the process of global warming and can help
maintain the carbon cycle. Because our project is readily accessible,
available and affordable as well as it can be made easily many
humans can create it and be influence to make it, this means that
the more the user the greater the recycling would be. It can also
satisfy the need demand of the user with enough driving air flow
and temperature.

In addition it is using a battery as source of energy it is

reliable during the occurrence of blackouts. If this project will be
given a chance the nom biodegradable materials can be seen
seldom lying in the ground and we can now attain balance among
us and nature.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The research would be from how vastly it can help in aiding

recycling principle amongst mankind, to the effect of the system
itself from the user and to the environment by producing wind to
relief body temperature and other actions that requires force of
wind. Likewise the compatible measurement of passage of air will be
also discussed.

The time frame can varied with the number of systems and
experiment. Materials needed are carton box, motor, adhesive,
wires, plastic bottles, battery, and fan blade. The air cooling system
is made by making a container out of carton, with a suspended
stand or bridge inside where the motor and the blades are attached.
Next is attaching the upper part of the plastic bottles to the carton
and then making the blades from the remaining plastics, lastly,
connecting the motor to the power source.

Methodology

The Subject of the Study

The connection between the volume of the container to the
number of plastic bottles used. The percentage of the recycling to
the total volume and parts in the system. The relationship between
effectiveness of the wind flow, to the input of energy or the
revolution per minute of the blades and the power of the motor as
well as the length of the blades. Also the difference of temperature
in relation to the measurement of opening or exit point of the
system.

Similarly, the wind that is low pressurize close to the blades

and the volume of it can suck. The researchers use tables of
representations, principle comparison, mathematical equations,
modification and changes to the variables and the time of the study.
Procedure
1. Find all needed materials.

2. Cut the box and put a thin hole in both side of the box parallel to
each other.

3. Put a carton as bridge or stand where you can put the blades
and motor.

4. Using plastic bottles make identical blades 3 or more will suffice.

5. Connect the dynamo with the wiring and insert it in the carton
bridge. Make sure to have enough distance from the blade and the
stand.

6. Put the Blades and secure it. Connect the wire connecting the
motor to the power source.

7. Make the back with desire opening of air. In the front use the tip
and the upper part of the plastic bottle.

8. Attach it with adhesive and assemble all together the parts that
were not connected with the box.

9. Put pieces of materials that sign the air flow in passage.

Research Design
Determining the Appropriate Opening Passage of Air

Principle of Air Condensation

Warmer air molecules tend to become cooler if passes and

narrower opening due to compression.

Principle of Air Pressure

The more active the air molecules the lighter it is and tends to
expand and go upward, while the cooler air is more compress and
tends to go downward and move towards the warmer region
because of lower air pressure, due to the rising of warmer air.

Interpretation of Data
The project has resulted variously in different condition of the
independent variable. The Percentage of Recycled materials that is
used is dependent to the volume and is directly proportional to the
rise or fall of the volume. Example in the experiment number 1 the
volume is greater and contains more plastic bottles compare to the
second experiment.

Likewise, when the opening of the passage is slender the more

the air compressed resulting to lower temperature we can conclude
the angle of opening is directly proportional to the temperature of
the air. Just like in the experiment 3 the narrower the angle the
lower the temperature compare to experiment 2.

Analysis
The researchers came up that, in the principle of Air
Condensation the project is the same with the condensing rod and
in the principle of air pressure is also similar to the system. The
principle is correct because the smaller the opening in the passage
of air the lower the temperature would be. As interpreted in the
data of the experiments. In addition, the larger the container would
be the more materials will be used and the greater the percentage of
recycling materials.

Therefore, if we upscale the project the better we can get rid of

pollution. Moreover the more the system’s consumption of energy
the stronger the force would be however the by product is also
increased.

Results

The principles are right because the result is just as what is

meant to be the outcome. The process of condensing rod is the
same with the outcome of the lower temperature in the narrow of
opening.

Also in the data the materials that is recycled is dependent to

the volume of the project the larger it is the more the plastic bottles
to be used. Similarly to the force of the air the faster the rpm the
stronger the wind and the also the by product is greater.

Summary
 The increasing production of non biodegradable drives the
researchers to innovate and create a system that can both deter the
effect and lessen the cause of the problem of Global Warming. The
Alternative Cooling system uses the Principle of Air Condensation
and Air Pressure.

The same in sophisticated air cooling machines such

condensation rods. The benefits of the project is the lower the cost
and the higher the affordability which can be made by more people
that can greatly help in dealing with disposal of non biodegradable
materials. Also it is reliable in occurrence of blackouts. The project
ranges in the resolving of environmental problems and the relief of
irritation of warmer temperature and that can result better
condition of mankind.

The topic revolves in the creation of lower air temperature and

the usage of recyclable materials. It is made up of carton, plastic
bottles, motor, batteries and plastic blades, forming blades and
opening from plastic and container form carton. The results are as
the same of principles it can convert warmer temperature to lower
temperature using slender openings and the production of lower
pressure area close to the blades that efficient in creation of
stronger winds. All the conditions of the variables are directly
proportional and related to each other.
Conclusion
The researchers concluded that the system is also effective
just like the other machines used for air cooling. Given enough
energy and a narrowing the angle of opening in the air passage
between 20º to 25º converts the warmer temperature to lower
temperature.

Also it has high possibility that it can ensure the recycling of

materials, due to the availability and affordability of the project. It
has satisfactorily met the expectation of users. And better source of
energy and proficiency towards needed areas.

Recommendation

The researchers recommend that the alternative cooling

system be introduce widely to the people specifically in areas of
hotter region and with problems of pollution and solid waste.
Moreover, the up scaling of the container to better uses the non
biodegradable in the project. Resulting to lesser waste and balance
between nature and man.
