clues to the Earth’s and Mankind’s past; expeditions spanning the globe are often launched in search of fossils. Soft-shelled fossils are extremely rare due to their inherent fragility and rarity of necessary conditions to preserve such specimens. The Burgess Shale formation located in British Columbia contains some of the best-preserved and most abundant collections of soft-shelled fossils known.

an Alternative Fuel Source Objectives: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a paper charcoal and a wood charcoal in producing fire. It specifically aims to determine: 1. Which can last longer between the paper charcoal and wood charcoal as fuel source. 2. Which is more effective to use as a fuel source. Hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the paper charcoal and the wood charcoal as an alternative fuel source. Scope and

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars: Worth the Investment? Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe‚ but only recently have people been able to harness this resource and turn it into energy. Hydrogen fuel cell cars are one such advancement made in the effort to turn hydrogen gas into electricity. Fuel cells in the car are used to convert hydrogen into an electrical current‚ and thus power the vehicle. Fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into water while producing electricity.

capitalized as Diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel‚ which is injected into the combustion chamber. This is in contrast to spark-ignition engines such as a petrol engine (gasoline engine) or gas engine (using a gaseous fuel as opposed to gasoline)‚ which uses a spark plug to ignite an air-fuel mixture. The engine was developed by Rudolf Diesel in 1893. The diesel engine has the highest thermal efficiency of any regular
