| DESIGN AND STYLING OF AN FCEV |
|||||
| In other words, "Design a car of tomorrow that is powered by fuel cell." 20th century type internal combustion engines for automobiles may eventually disappear. The fuel cell that is used in space rockets is seen as the most promising substitute power source for cars. There are many problems to be solved before fuel cells become practical, but putting that aside, what form will cars carrying this new type of power source have? Some of you may not know exactly what a fuel cell is. If you don't, we ask that you do not simply guess, but find out more about fuel cells through books or on the intemet before you start working on the package. This should bring to light all the problems associated with fuel cells. How to reflect this in the design? You will be judged not only on the final model but also the process by which you arrived at your solutions. What is most important is your understanding, not your level of skills. For the age of the FCEV (Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle) to become a reality, there will have to be changes in social structure as well. For example, stations for supplying hydrogen will probably have to be set up. We hope you will consider various hypotheses, select among them and build a vision of what the future should be like. Categories Entrants will be divided into two categories: the Student Division and the General Division. The student division is for those who will be registered in university or college at the time of the final deadline for preliminary screening; others will be entered in the general division.
