As the world is becoming more and more advanced in technology, an even
greater amount of energy is being used to keep up with the changing
requirements. At the current rate at which energy is being used, the world will
shortly come to an end of fossil fuels - the world's primary energy resource.
You think you can drive, think again! No motors, no engines… just brains.
PROBLEM OF STATEMENT:
The
challenge this year is to design, build, and test, a boat that uses a fuel
without any motor. The competition will consist of running your boat for a
certain distance. The boat with lowest time (taken to cover that particular
distance) will win and should even be a fascinating one.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Teams shall send their names and abstract
directly and should come prepared with the model. The teams shall be evaluated
after investigating the model on the day of event.
COMPETITION DETAILS:
