Remote Automated Hot Water System Student Tyler Travis
The project is going to be used for people in remote locations who need hot water. The system is solar-powered so it can be off of the grid. It will be fully automated so there is no need for someone to complete the process all the person has to do is click start. The solar panels will stay in line with the sun throughout the day. Project Adviser: Mr. Craig Brennecke
Automated Telescope Students Bryan Zeigler and Cory Curfman
