week six

i am so lucky , i get 46% for the engines test,thanks for everything. To return to the subject we catch up to sign our contract, after engines class this tuesday our supervisor we choosed Gerry he told us the idea is good, but it is not easy to do the project at last.He show us the dyno machine in the unitec's workshop, it is already fitted with a toyota V8 engine, after we finish the project it will be fitted into REX's s2000,and then the dyno machine will compare the difference between the de-cat pipe fitted. we sign the contract, but that is not enough, there will a long life we have to go, it just a beginning of the project. next step we have to do a plan for our project.

week five

this week we did the engines exam on Tuesday, it was a little bit diffcult for me, it was 50% for the whole course. we met niranjan on wednesday in the classroom and show him our new idea, this new idea from our term mate rex, he is very interested in performance cars,his ideas is high performance cars used straight pipe instead of the catalytic convertor, but there is a problem, the problem is straight pipe can not resist the engine air flow especially when the drivers release the accelerator pedal so the torque is reduced. finally niranjan accepted our idea, we were very happy with that. next step we have to find a teacher for our supervisor .

week 4

today is the due date we have to sign the contract, but we still have not decide our topic yet, we have had heaps of ideas before, but our tutor negatived our idea, we think they are right. today we ask niranjan for an extendtion about the contract sign date. in the class some groups did their presentation, after that we happened to meet jone in LAB, he give us an idea, the fireplace in the carevan, nowdays normal caravan use gas heater in the winter time for traveling, jone told us we can use the fireplace instead of the gas heat, the fireplace like the fireplace we used at home, and make it smaller it can be fitted in the caravan. after that we google the caravan heat on line, we don not think Jone's idea is a good idea, because it does not have any technology, oh we still have to think about our idea. another idea we discuss was the car alarm system, the car alarm main unit like a control unit, it has signal input and power output, we can use this one to do any things.

week 3

another one week passed, today in the classroom we give our tutor three idea we discussed last week , but all the tutors they were not accept our idea. they told us the reason is you guys can do the project as these ideas , but it is very difficult for you. after that our group member tiitii think about another idea, the idea was colour changeable window screen, but it was negatived by the tutor immediately,because he said it is a good idea, but how you guys to manufacture the material. after the class we went to TONY'S workshop, we ask him for help, because he always has heaps of ideas, but he was very busy no time to answer our questions. we decide back to home to think about the ideas by ourself.

week 2

Time passed very fast, we have to discuss our topic for the technology project, our group members have some different ideas for this course, i will listing in next steps. NO.1 is the brake auto stop for the engine, which means when you brake your car the engine will be stopped automatically in order to save gas. at the same time we have a very simliar idea, the idle stop system. NO.2 is the auto rain wiper, this is different from the normal one,operating principle is there are more than 10 sensors when rainning the rain will cover the sensor ,but the different sensors have different reading for the water-drop, then it makes the system works. NO.3 shock sensor for the manul gearbox. as we all know when we drive a manul transmission vehicle if the speed is low but we shift into a high gear( fourth gear or fifth gear)the car will shake to much, if we put a shock sensor close to engine or gear box when you shift in to a wrong gear the shock sensor works then give a signal to the dashboard to remind you change the right gear. those are the ideas we can discuss with our tutor on next wendsday, if one of the idea can be accepted we will sign our contract for the course and do this project for the whole year.
