 In FIRST, there's no such thing as too many 1/4-20 bolts, too many bottles of caffeinated beverage, and too much knowledge from others. - Billfred [more] |

Re: Automotive X-Prize
Hrm,
I wish I had more of a chemistry oriented mind, rather than a mechanical one. I think that enlies the problem, trying to find the perfect fuel that is cheap but also economical and efficient. Now I wonder if the rules will allow for a higher fuel consumption if accelerating, because it would seem plausible to get 100mpg after reaching cruising speeds. If I was to enter this, I would investigate the route cylinder shut-down, and fuel thinning. Maybe look into the use of bio-deisel, and seeing what you can do to common waste products to make them effiecient. *sigh* I wish I was more talented than I am.
