Brainstorming and Problems/Solutions
Original Ideas (bike powered boat, racing kart, remote controlled boat)
Problem of Flotation Design of Propulsion Addition of Land Travel (mounting
tires/steering)

Business Perspectives
Initial Concerns – Budget– Total budget: $100.00– Expenditures: $63.47– Balance: $36.53
We did receive donations from companies and associates, without that aid we would have been an estimated $150.00 over budget.

Efficiency and the Key to Success
Approximate number of man-hours: 100 Vital to our success was efficient meetings
and interfacing. After each subsequent step of the process,
we would meet to determine what to do next and how to accomplish it.
Key: PLANNING

Floatation – Will it Work?
Buoyant force is equal to the amount of water displaced
1 liter of water (1000 g/L) weighs about 2.205 lbs.
1 gallon is about 3.785 liters Each jug displaces about 41.7 lbs. of water The jugs alone can hold about 417 lbs.

Results and Conclusions
Pleased with our team’s ability to meet a deadline, obtain materials from various resources, and form an executable plan.
Succeeded beyond our goal – crossed the Tennessee River.
Bigger budget? More time? Possibilities.– Refined land travel– Mounted turning mechanism– Longer lasting power source for propulsion– Room for more than one occupant
