For our project, we wanted to see if it was possible to create a semi truck with an electric engine. Our team,
Ecovision, consisted of Aja, Damen, Daphne and Darci. This is to show you what we did, and how we did it.
OPENING
Think about a design for your car and decide whether to use
aluminum or wood as the car body.
STEP ONE
Using the radial arm saw, cut out along the line on the wood. Make
sure to turn on the dust collector
before using the saw, and wear
safety goggles.
STEP THREE
Grab a piece of scrap metal and mark four pieces that you will later cut out to use for
axel holders.
STEP FOUR
Using the band saw, cut out the four pieces of metal. Before using it, turn on the dust
collector and wear safety goggles.
STEP FIVE
Using the center punch, punch each
piece twice, one close to the top,
the other close to the bottom. You want them to be even, so measure
before hand.
STEP SIX
Grip the pieces one by one into the vice grip.
With the electric drill, make holes
where the center punch
marks are. Repeat for all of
the pieces.
STEP SEVEN
Using a screwdriver,
attach the little metal pieces to the wood car
body. Make sure to mark where you’re going to put them first,
you want them to be even.
STEP TEN
Hammer one wheel onto one side of
the rod. Insert the rod into the back 2 axel holders. Once
you have that, hammer on the
other wheel.
STEP THIRTEEN
