Abstract In my previous experiment I had demonstrated that the temperature difference existing in our water lines could be harnessed to generate electricity. The purpose of this year’s project was to evaluate the effectiveness of modifications to my “Water Coil” design and the potential to increase electrical production. I also investigated the potential benefit of using the gas exhaust heat for generating further electricity.
