How can I contact a University for funding for a project.

AI Thread Summary
Contacting a university for funding for a fuel cell project may not be viable due to concerns about the project's credibility and potential for peer review rejection. Issues such as lack of formal qualifications, absence of a detailed logbook, and non-compliance with ISO/GLP standards could undermine the proposal. Universities typically seek projects that can yield tangible benefits and recognition, making them hesitant to invest in individual projects without established credentials. Instead, pursuing government funding is suggested as a more promising avenue, though specific contacts or agencies for such funding are not identified in the discussion.

How can I contact a University for funding for a project. The project is on fuel cells, and I plan on building two prototypes; one following the instructions precisely, the other for experimenting with nickel catalysts. I have a estimate of $75-$100 CDN.

Thanks for any help,

Pierre.

Don't even bother; it won't happen. Your report would fold under peer review for any number of reasons (lack of logbook work, no PhD, not ISO/GLP certified, etc), and your research would be thrown out and discredited. The university would have nothing to show for giving you money. Even if you got amazing results, you would probably patent your ideas before the university could somehow profit from your discovery. Again, university has nothing to gain by giving you money.

I would look more towards government on this one. Not sure who you would ask though.
 
Yeah, I guess that contacting the government would be better. But who to contact?
 

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
