Week Seven

This week the lab group continued gathering supplies and refined the details on the experiment even more. After realizing it would be extremely inefficient to attain hydrogen the project prameters had to be modified. The lab group, with assistance from the group adviser Som Tyagi, decided that the objective of the project would be to measure the efficiency difference between gasoline and gasoline combined with varying amounts of ethanol. To do this the lab group decided to test the gasoline mixture attained at a local gas station to that of various ethanol gasoline blends. This week the lab group also attained various materials for the experiment. These materials were a gas tank as well as the oil necessary for the lubrication of the engine. Som Tyagi also provided a temperature probe for the experiment, and the aperture design for fuel injection was finalized.
