Nitinol Final Update

The Stirling engine group has been hard at work. We have finalized our design.A brief overview of the flow of energy that makes our machine work: The wasteheat leaving the car's combustion engine causes the Stirling engine to run. Thisthen creates electrical energy that goes to the charge controller. The energyflows from the charge controller to a battery, charging the battery. The energythat leaves the battery goes to the power inverter where it is converted fromdirect current to alternating current. Alternating current enables us to powerour...

End of the year - in the words of our Fearless Leader

 Throughout this year, our team has achieved more than I could've imagined we would.  The development of an eco-friendly car heater, the creation of an autonomous garden, and the expansion of last year's Engineering Young Engineers(EYE) have all taken place in this year's class. At the start of the year we made up two separate groups, the continuation of EYE and what we called the nitinol group. After consideration, we split into three groups, EYE, the Auto-garden group, and the Stirling Engine group.     In EYE, we have...
