Educating Young Engineers has continued work on their March 28th “Engineering Athletics” Saturday Program at Ballard Elementary. Registration is almost full and all preliminary logistics have been completed to ensure the success of another program in our partnership. Ballard Elementary’s first LEGO Club session is drawing to a close after many weeks of teaching the young engineers through problem based and teamwork challenges. During the second session EYE will not be in attendance so that the parents can run the LEGO Club for many years...

March 3rd, Nitinol

The nitinol group has realized that nitinol is extremely
difficult to work with, both theoretically and experimentally. We have decided
to use a stirling engine instead of a nitinol engine to increase the efficiency
of a car. Car engines (internal combustion engines) are at best 20% efficient.
The energy that’s not used to make a car move is left over in the form of heat,
which exists the car as exhaust. Using a stirling engine, we hope to turn this
waste heat into electric energy. Stirling engines have shown to work better
than nitinol engines,...

As a group we recently
constructed the walls for our grow-tent by cutting the Panda Film and mounting it on a PVC frame. We would have liked to have moved past this step by now, but we were forced to special order our PVC fittings due to lack of local availability. We are juggling our proof of concept model and aesthetically pleasing model, so we were able to keep ourselves otherwise occupied. For this second model, we are working on designs that will target people in urban areas that wish to
grow plants with their...
