The U.S.S.

Once we found out we could use the remaining bio-diesel from other groups, we set sail in finding an idea that would make out putt-putt boat glide past the competition. we ended up making a model out of a soda can because it was light but also durable and was essentially water proof. We placed 4th and didn't get extra credit but we still felt we had a good team effort and planned everything perfectly.

The Making of our Biodiesel

My partner and I started making our bio-diesel and used the clean oil for the construction instead of the used Chick-fil-a oil. our mindset was that since it was cleaner the oil would burn hotter making our future boat run faster. Unfortunately, the solo cups we stored our biodiesel in disintegrated and all that was leftDisplaying image2.JPG was a mess that Mrs. Frankenberg had to clean. All hope is not yet lost. We know our biodiesel would have rocked based on our test burn.

Biodiesel Project

Today and all the next week we will be in the library computer lab working on our Bio diesel project. Unfortunately my partner wont be able to attend school so i will have to figure out a approach to our video and hope that we can finish in time. overall i'm excited about this project and hope to win the top prize.
