Today, at 12 PM, was the deadline to submit our e-poster and video. Luckily, we did so just in time! Below is our poster and video. It took a lot of energy and time for us to complete the tasks, but we had a lot of fun doing it. Thank you Ms. Moon for showing us the OTC Challenge, and thank you to Doctor Gibson, our BP sponsors, Jevon Williams and Sireesh Dadi, for helping us pull it together!

AboutCurrently, HISD uses B5 (Diesel with 5% Biodiesel) in most of its bust fleet. Research shows that B100 (100% Biodiesel) would reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly, but as a fuel it tends to “gel” in colder temperatures and this can lead to engine malfunction. The EIHS InvenTeam is currently developing “The Slush Buster”, which would be an automated system for regulating fuel viscosity in any diesel vehicle. Our invention would facilitate the use of B100 in any climate, as the current, widespread solution is simply to reduce the blend of biodiesel if the weather gets cold. We hope that our invention can be used by buses in HISD, and eventually vehicles in all parts of the country!
