Engineering at Dordt College

I don’t have time to elaborate, but the electric car is on the road. The last connection was made at about 4:30 PM. It was tested on blocks (front wheels off the ground) for a few minutes, and then at 4:45 it went on its first trip on full power. The students drove it around for a few minutes and then I took a turn. There is enough power to peel out. We have more testing to do before we dare try for its top speed. The project will be presented publicly tonight as part of the senior project evening. The presentations start at 7:30 PM, Wednesday, May6, 2009.
