Problem/need:
We need to create an alternative way to power vehicles because petroleum is a non-renewable fuel source. We need a way to travel short distances (as in commuting to and from work) with little environmental footprint.
Precedents/Current Solutions:
They've created electric cars, hydrogen cars, and solar cars.
Your Idea:
Our idea is to power a personal transportation vehicle with magnetic energy. It would mainly be used for intercity travel. No one has ever marketed a vehicle with magnetic energy.
Your First Idea Translation:
http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Magnetic-Induction-Battery-Charger
What Will You Learn:
We would like to learn how generators, more specifically magnetic generators, work. This will help us further develop our own ideas and will help us understand our limits on electric capacity, among other things.
ArtScience:
The first revolutionary innovation in personal travel was the wheel. With our design we will both reinvent the wheel and the personal vehicle.
Who Can Help:
Johnathan Fillmore, Sarah Sularz, Chad Johnson, Chris Tallman, Scott Robertson, Tom Kuefler, and Matt Backer, among others.
