Alternate Electricity Idea

            The science topic that was chosen for further study is whether there could be alternative methods to transport electricity from a source to the point of use? The hypothesis is that if a system to transport electrical power was developed, it will gather energy from a remote source and move it to the point of use. It will be determined if this is a more efficient way of transporting electricity than through the electrical grid. It could also be a less costly alternative to what people pay right now for their electricity. The procedure was assembling a battery, a charger, and an inverter into a system prototype to test how efficiently electricity can be transported from a remote source to the point of use. After the prototype system was built it was determined that the cost of the power delivered to a residence, with the prototype system it was $0.284 per kilowatt hour. The overall efficiency of our prototype was 35.3% if the overall efficiency of a prototype with more efficient components was 86.4%, the cost per kilowatt hour would be $0.116. With a lower cost battery, (half the cost of the battery used in the prototype) the cost would be $0.076 per kilowatt hour. This is about $0.02 less than current retail price of electricity .
             Introduction.
             Electricity was one of the greatest discoveries in the last 400 years. If your question is "Has electricity been around that long?" It has, and maybe much longer but only at our disposal use since the mid 1800s, and in a limited way to begin with. One of the many beginning public works was lighting the 1893 Chicago's World Columbia Exposition with 250,000 light bulbs, and lighting a bridge over the river Seine during the 1900 World Fair in Paris. The use of electricity probably goes back way farther. Also, when constructing railways in 1936 near Baghdad, people discovered what seemed to be a prehistoric battery, (Parthian Battery.) The "battery" dates back to the Parthian period and is estimated to be 2,000 years old.
