We've been struggling for ideas and the ideas we have are flimsy at best.
Heres some ideas just to name a few;
- An automatic drinks dispenser on the dash that is linked to the container of water/fizzy drink in the boot. Possible cooling unit intergrated into this design. Though this is a handy feature it isn't really a good project overall and making it a level 6 project we might struggle to make this a detailed in depth project.
- Regenerative suspension. As the suspension moves up and down the energy that dissapates is lost. We are looking to harness this energy through means of magnets and windings, how we do this exactly is not confirmed yet but that will be in the design stage.
- Another idea was to re-design the convential 3 point seatbelt or to create a comfortable 4 point belt that could be used in passenger cars. This idea really had some promise but of course after some research we found that it had been done, exactly how we were thinking of doing it.
We decided to go with the 2nd idea, as its not in mainstream production but has the potential to be quite effective. After finally getting the contract drawn up on computer, the printer wouldn't work. By the time the I.T. guy got it printed for us, class had finished and there was no one to hand the contract into.
Honestly though this whole project thing is a joke, as each car company has paid technicians that spend all their time coming up with these exact solutions to problems. So for us to do anything innovative is a joke.
