Ask me anything about vehicle dynamics,power train, drive train, steering,Data acquisition
Car? What does it mean to you. Have your ever tried to build one? If no then where to start? If yes then how far you know?
Ask me anything. In my 4 years of undergraduaion I have seen a total of 3 cars. I think I gained pretty much knowledge in all the sub systems of the car. Attaching photo of the car that we built in 2k17-18 academic year
So let's start a healthy discussion and learn simultaneously benefiting the community.
I think this is pretty neat! What are you building now? I'm in the middle of building a solar green house. In the near future I'm going to start putting up some content about this project.
I'm part of formula Student team of campus. I have seen 3 cars rolling out of our workshop in last 4 years. I will remember this experience for my lifetime. I just got graduated and going to join a company soon and no more involved in making cars but have learnt so many things in last 4 years..
I have photos of our project for you here in this comments section itself.stay tuned. If you want any help regarding your project ,don't hesitate to ask. I appreciate people who do things on their own.
That’s to bad your not building cars anymore but I’m certain your doing bigger things now! Congratulations on your graduation!
I most certainly would like to see the other pictures you have of the 2 other vehicles you were involved with building. I think that’s pretty interesting! 😁
Yeah! They are on their way....I have backed up all my photos to google photos...I'm checking them....will show you by tomorrow
Alright! I’m looking forward to see your project photos! 😁
A solar green house?
What type of wall materials are you going to use?
I do a bit of welding and I also love working with wood so the frame is made with metal (this is what I'm building now) and the rest of it will be constructed with wood sliding frames like a Japanese wall. I'm still deciding on what I want to use for the transparent section. Another thing that's in place is a third of the solar panels... So yeah! The project is coming together!
What's your opinion about the adobe as a building material and have you thought about that?
It's very popular in my country for a "Healthy" houses. My grandparents had a house made of it, it still stands after 70+ years
I like adobe as it is a local all natural way to build structures although I haven't tried making anything in that way yet. I used to build log homes back in the day as Canada has significant timber resources. Building with logs is probably more more suited to our location but in warmer places I think adobe would be the method to use.
I had no idea the adobe house was so durable! 70+ years is significant. Those houses are quite beautiful to. Are you considering making a structure this way?
We got even older adobe house than that. Our "old school" builders had few secrets that are gone today.
I remember they used straw, egg shells, and few more things that are unknown today.
I was thinking of build an small village with old style house for tourists, but I need a serious partner for this who would be ok with living there (at least during season). I can't spend too much time there because of my job, and someone has to. So this project stays on hold for now
Yeah... There is honestly so much knowledge from the past that has been lost. People are more focused on high tech these days... That means a lot of the low tech solutions go by the way side.
I enjoy digging up some of that knowledge from time to time when I visit my grandparents.
One of the things I want to learn from the past is how they used to make ropes. I think that would be a pretty useful thing to know how to do.
Your old style village sounds pretty cool! Projects of this size require quite a lot of investing to get them on solid ground. Best thing to do is to begin small and scale it out... That's what I'm trying to do with my Solar Green House idea. :)
If one person does the job, than it takes a lot of work and investment. But if more people in engaged, than it's same a lot easier in both terms.
My general wish is to light a spark in their mind and make them all work together on something bigger, for mutual benefit, instead of waiting for time to pass.
How much time you think it will take you to build your Solar Green House?
By the way, we have so much sun that it's probably better for you to build it here :-)...just saying...
