  2. Opening • 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.

  3. Step One • Think about a design for your car and decide whether to use aluminum or wood as the car body.

  4. Step Two • Pick a piece of wood & lightly mark where you’re going to cut it.

  5. Step Three • 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.

  6. Step Four • Grab a piece of scrap metal and mark four pieces that you will later cut out to use for axel holders.

  7. Step Five • Using the band saw, cut out the four pieces of metal. Before using it, turn on the dust collector and wear safety goggles.

  8. Step Six • 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.

  9. Step Seven • 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.

  10. Step Eight • Keep the pieces gripped in, using the hammer, bend them to get a 90 degree angle.

  11. Step Nine • Collect four screws from the screw boxes, they should be pretty small.

  12. Step Ten • 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.

  13. Step Eleven • Using a hack saw, cut out two copper rod pieces about 5 inches across.

  14. Step Twelve • Get a pack of four wheels. Either big or small will work.

  15. Step Thirteen • 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.

  16. Step Fourteen • Put the motor together using the instructions.

  17. Step Fifteen • Using the rod coming with the motor, repeat step thirteen for the front.

  18. Step Sixteen • Solder the battery pack wires to the motor. And you’re done! (with the car at least)

  19. DataTABLE& Graph

  20. Solid works

  21. Conclusion • After testing, we concluded that it would be possible to make a semi truck with an electric engine. It probably wouldn’t be as efficient as a diesel semi truck, but it would work. Also, we learned our car could hold about 80 grams of weight at the most.
