Day 5

Today I spent most of the class carrying boxes for the art teacher. Mr. Bishop showed me a cool website that has old cars that have been converted to biodiesel. I had thought of a smiilar idea of putting propane engines in a vehicle so it was cool to see it actually done. The website is http://biobling.com/

Day 4

I have made some drawings of cars and other means of transportation. There are many styles of transportation to cover and I have been researching most of them. I was thinking that perhaps using wind as a method of powering the electronic generators. Tehy are eco friendly and wind is readily available. This provides an easy means of generating electricity.

Day 3

Today I did some drawings of the automobiles that I will be building for the city. I designed them to look like Shelby Mustangs. I think that the shelby design is bolth pleasing to the eyes and functional.

Today I researched ideas for the vehicles that I am building. I have stumbled across this chevelle that is powered by a propane engine. The chevelle makes approximately 1000 horsepower on pure propane. I was thinking that these engines would make an eco friendly addition to our cars because they burn with no emmissions and are faster then ferarris.

Summative Day 1




Today I started brainstorming ideas for the summative. I have chosen to design the vehicles for the city. I have found this article about an eco-friendly chevelle that runs on propane. It developes over 1000 horsepower and burns clean. THe design is so amazing and I was considering using propane as a fuel to power the cars in our city.

I was thinking of recycling old car chassis and putting the propane engines in them. This promotes recycling and re-useing of old objects and saves the new materials for other things.
