Biodiesel Boat

We were given the opportunity to use our biodiesel to run our put-put boats. It was an exciting event because we actually got to make a boat and race it against others. After a tedious 10 minutes of construction, Kyle and I created a boat out of a gallon jug. We raced it and got a pretty average time, but we made it across the finish line, meaning we get full credit. In the end, I thought this was a needed change of pace for this class. It was an enjoyable break and it took some stress of of my senioritis that is kicking in pretty hard. Anyway.. I didn't actually get a picture of our boat, but here is a cool put-put boat :-)

Biodiesel Lab

We started our biodiesel lab a couple weeks ago, and I have to say it was one of the more fun things we have done. It started off with the video that I discussed earlier in the week. Then we actually got to make our biodiesel. It was honestly an easy process and makes me wonder why we don't use biodiesel... Anyway, it ended up eating through our cups and we had to throw it away :/...

Biodiesel Project

We have worked on a bio-diesel video for the last week. Kyle and I made out project to increase awareness on how bio-diesel can help the environment. We used some pathos to get to the viewer. We compared the poor effects of oil to the benefits of bio-diesel.
