W11 L10 - Checkers (Everyone)

Ok, this week we decided to scrap the idea about making a Maglev Car thing, so screw everything we did before. We instead decided to just research about different types of environmentally friendly cars, and their different models. We have decided to just make a booklet about different models of cars that are environmentally friendly. We will also try to encourage people to purchase these cars for the sake of saving the Earth.

W10 L9 - Cham Dao Hong

We have officially decided to make a model of a Maglev (Magnetic Levitation) Car. Materials have to be bought and we have to choose the places the parts would be used. I will design the car during the holidays and will show where parts fit. In order to make it work, research will have to be done.

W8 L7 - Survey Q's and A's

Our target population: Adults
Our sample size will be: 50

The survey is for:
1. Finding what people think about what we are doing.
2. See what most people would like, in order to do our best.
3. Get an idea of what people would like to have.

Questions we would like to ask:
1. What kind of car would appeal to your liking?
2. What cost do you think is best suited for a car?
3. Do you own a car?
4. If no. Do you have a driving license?
5. Do you wish to have a car?
6. What is your main priority for a car?
7. How much do you normally pay for a car?
8. To maintain a car, how much do you have to pay per month?
9. How much would you sacrifice to save the environment?

W7 L6 - Checkers (Everyone)

Aim: Ideas and Research about Product
Compilation of Notes:

Bryan Chee
Energy source vehicles and parts :
Suggestion: A roof that is made of solar panels and tough glass to protect the fragile panels. A dynamo(electrical generator) for each set of wheels. An ultracapacitor that is able to store electricity that can last the car for 20 days (regular use of car , 7hrs / day).

Cham Dao Hong
Safety:
The Vehicles should have light and signals to give a warning to other road users.
Seatbelts prevent occupants being ejected from the vehicle.
Rubber tyres to help smooth out the braking of the car.
Vehicle's brakes are very important and must be very efficient.

Che Jin Peng
Design and Material:
Streamed-lined body to lessen air resistance in order to move smoothly and faster.

Franklin Chen
Energy efficient sources:
I was thinking of a low energy usage vehicle and thought of the maglev train.From there i went in to research on maglev car. So the energy we will be using is solar energy. The magnetic repulsion will reduce the energy needed to move the vehicle and the solar power will be able to power it without need of other fuels. Solar cell will be used and it does not generate a lot of energy, that is why we need a vehicle which uses like energy then present one.
The bottom of the vehicle will have to be an electromagnet and the road will be paved with permanent magnets to repulse the car to reduce friction, thus less energy is needed to power the car.
