For this project we had to come up with an engineering solution to a world problem. The problem we aimed to solve was oil and fossil fuel dependence. We decided to solve this problem by creating a generator that ran on clean renewable energy. The first prototype we made was a hydrogen-powered internal combustion engine. It ran on the explosion generated by hydrogen and oxygen exploding. It generates electricity and the only byproduct is water. The second prototype involved a s

Engineering Design Cycle -
1.Identify the need
2.Research the Problem
3.Develop possible solutions
4.Select the most promising solution
5.Construct a prototype
6.Test and evaluate the prototype
7.Communicate the design
8.Redesign
9.Repeat
Internal Combustion Engine
In a spark ignition engine, the fuel is mixed with air and then inducted into the cylinder during the intake process. After the piston compresses the fuel-air mixture, the spark ignites it, causing combustion. The expansion of the combustion gases pushes the piston during the power stroke.
