Wednesday, May 29, 2013
MANHATTAN -- Kansas State 1xbet online games login 's Chem-E-Car 1xbet online games login has landed a spot in the national 1xbet online games login , set for Nov. 1-2 in San Francisco. The 1xbet online games login is part of the annual meeting of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers.
The 1xbet online games login earned its spot by finishing in third place at a recent regional competition in Norman, Okla. The 1xbet online games login entered two cars -- Catmobile and Wildcat Cruiser -- in the event, which earned third and fourth places in performance and first and third places in the poster presentation.
For chem-E-car competitions, teams build shoebox-size cars that are powered and controlled by chemical reactions. The goal of the 1xbet online games login is for the car to carry a specified payload, between 0 grams to 500 grams, a specified distance, between 50 feet to 100 feet, within two minutes. The car that stops the closest to the finish line wins. The required payload size and distance are revealed the day of the 1xbet online games login .
"The challenge is to have calibrated the vehicle for 1xbet online games login possible weights and distances," said Kevin Diehl, senior in chemical engineering, Wichita, and captain of the university's Chem-E-Car 1xbet online games login . "Some cars only use one reaction, so the car stops when the reaction is complete. Others use two: one to provide the power to move the car, and the other to change when the car stops."
Also serving as captain of the university's 1xbet online games login is Michael Whinery, junior in chemical engineering, Rose Hill. The 1xbet online games login 's faculty adviser is Keith Hohn, professor of chemical engineering.
Other 1xbet online games login members, all chemical engineering majors unless otherwise noted, include:
Jason Grosssardt, sophomore, Halstead; Mason Grittman, senior in mechanical 1xbet online games login and accounting, Hoyt; Ben Williams, sophomore, Lawrence; Lacie Falk, junior, Linwood; Michael Carlson, junior, Olathe; Chris Bradley, junior, Shawnee; Matthew Christensen, sophomore in pre-professional secondary education, Tonganoxie; Cody Hammel, junior in mechanical 1xbet online games login , Valley Center; and Thaddeus Tuck, junior, Wamego.
From out of country: Chaoran Huang, senior, China; and Charlie Fu, junior, Hong Kong.
