Algal diesel for Speed Week 2013!

We are right in the middle of growing all the algae we need for us to have enough biodiesel for 2 long course passes at the Bonneville Salt Flats for Speed Week 2013!!  These are inoculum tubes of one of our favorite biodiesel precursor producing algal strains!

The body team has been working on their design so that they can work to get the mold pieces built.  To make sure the body will work with the frame correctly they have been working to make a correct model of the frame.  The result looks great!

Record Certification

National Biodiesel Conference

 2 graduate students: Alex McCurdy and Robert Willis, and undergraduate Mike Morgan just received word that they have been selected for scholarships to attend the National Biodiesel Conference in February in Las Vegas, Nevada! They have each had their posters accepted and will be presenting them at the Conference as their posters were accepted as well.

Alex McCurdy will present his poster talking about our growth and processing methods and the dyno and emissions data for each of our fuels. The poster gives an overview of our recent publication!

Robert Willis will present his poster talking about his method for extraction of lipid.

Mike Morgan will present his poster talking about the USU Aggie A-Salt Streamliner!

Congrats to the team!

H&R Services in Cache Valley sponsors us with AMSOIL for all our lubrication needs!  Check these guys out and give them a call!  They are great to work with!  Thanks you guys!

Student Teams Design Presentations

Yesterday next semester's Mechanical Engineering build teams presented their designs to the group and the professors as part of preparing to build here shortly.  Both teams did well.  The body team has a big task ahead of them and it will be awesome to see what they can do!  The drivetrain team was given the go ahead to get the transmission ordered so they can get the car put together ASAP during next semester so that extensive dyno testing/tuning can be done!

The teams are: Blue Aero which is our body team and Team S.P.E.E.D. which is our drivetrain team.
Both teams did well and it will be great to see what they accomplish here as we get ready for Speed Week 2013 at the Bonneville Salt Flats!
