This is a list of materials used to build the bomb calorimeter. We used a indoor/outdoor
thermometer for tracking the load temperature along with monitoring the ambient room temperature. We videotaped both test with the power scavenging device and without the device in real time. The data collected was used to create a X-Y plot on graph paper with a resolution of a hundred squares per square inch.
