Heat pump with ground probe (Wärmepumpe mit Erdsonde):
We heat with a heat pump with ground probe. A heat pump with a ground probe consumes the least Co2 and is very energy efficient. It extracts heat from the earth at a depth of over 100 metres.
I sent an email to the administration of our house to ask what kind of heating we have and where the boiler room is located. Unfortunately, I have not received an answer yet. I will add to the post after I hear back from you.
Task 19
In our project on dontwastemy.energy we have linked 5-6 links.

In my project, I dealt with the technology of the aircraft. I was able to find out how it might be possible to fly in the future without polluting the air too much.
I also listed some additional interesting facts about aviation.

Task 18
Social Media Post text:
We were able to successfully finish our post, which shows the comparison between classic cars and electric cars in the topics of environment and costs.
If you are interested in this topic, you can find the post at: Comparison classic cars with new cars | Don't Waste My Energy! (dontwastemy.energy)
Come and listen to the stories of women in tech and follow the history of Ada Lovelace, one of the first women to ever code.

Main part of the IDAF project
"Energy 100 years ago, today, in 100 years"
My project will be about nuclear energy. I find it a really interesting topic and I know different things to write and research about it.
Below is my concept draft for the project - own thoughts of how I could start and what I could write about it.
100 years ago:
writing and researching about Marie Curie, polonian physician who discovered radioactivity and radiochemistry
Today:
- how is nuclear energy used today?
- is it more dangerous or safer than 100 years ago?
- Accident of Tchernobyl and atombombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
- "Halbwertszeit" and the C14-method (S. 144 mathbook)
- Nuclear energy in our everyday life especially in movies/hollywood productions
In 100 years:
evtl. a new form of calculating the radioactivity - too little timespan for such a long timedurance - thoughts are working
Required calculation:
I will do a calculation about the radioactive decay with the C14-method and a simple example ( e.g. radioactivity in the area of Tchernobyl or something else with high radioactivity)
Required pictures, drawing, graphics, photos:
I don't know how to solve this problem yet. Because I can't travel to Tchernobyl only to take pictures of nuclear power plants by myself. I'm too bad at drawing and so I think I have to take pictures from the internet. (licensefree pictures or whatelse)
Travel is a passion and is a very significant luxury. Therefore, it is even more important to maintain this as sustainable and long-lasting as possible. With simple tricks and tips from first-hand travel professionals from Thailand and Switzerland, it is possible to easily travel more sustainably.

We did a short interview with one of Emina's relativs. Here is a small cut-out of it.
Unfortunately there were also problems with our project. But since this is not uncommon, we don't allow ourselves to be unsettled and continue with the same enthusiasm. Our struggles:
April 22, 2022: Emina's parents brought tap water from Bosnia, which we want to test in a laboratory so that we can see the difference to Swiss tap water. We are particularly interested in cleanliness. If there is time, we would like to look at the result with the responsible laboratory technician.
April 29, 2022: We sent an email to LaBeCo, the water analysis department in Alberswil, because we couldn't reach them by phone.
May 6, 2022: We have not yet received a response.
May 10, 2022: We are now trying our luck at Eawag (water research institute of the EHT's area) in Dübendorf. We have also sent them an email.
