Description of Our Community: Luzhou City is situated near the western bank of Tamsui River. Shilin District, Taipei is across the river and to the northeast of Luzhou. Wugu Township is to the west of Luzhou, while Sanchong City is to the southeast, which forms a diamond. Louzhou City's area amounts to 7.4351 square kilometers and now it is the city with the third highest population density in Taiwan. In the past, there were 2 high voltage transformer stations and more than 70 high voltage towers. After many years of residents’ struggle and striving of mayors, legislators and councilors, the underground of high voltage tower has been realized one after another in recent several years. However, Luzhou City still plans to build extra high voltage transformer station. Every time this issue is mentioned, residents will certainly struggle against it.
Project Description: Growing up in Luzhou, we are familiar with the surrounding environment where there are numerous electric towers. In the past, thanks to the striving of Ms. Yueh-e Li Weng, Former Mayor of Luzhou City and many legislators, the measures for underground of electric tower are gradually taken in the downtown, and lots of green spaces and public facilities are also increased in Luzhou District. The previous struggle events bear the common memories of many parents. Once the hazard of transformer stations and electric towers is mentioned, we can always think of a mysterious noun -- electromagnetic wave. We intend to understand what electromagnetic wave is and to transfer the knowledge gained through our hard-working exploration to more people.
