5/6/2017

On May the Fourth Trisha Litong, Daniel Nadel, Mark Cabrera, and Sage Cade attended The Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) and attended the first ever OTC Challenge Competition. To compete with other schools such as St. Johns and Kinkaid, the team members created an e-poster and a video to accompany it. For about an hour, judges from BP, NASA, and other industry giants went around asking schools about e-posters made to complete a challenge faced by the Oil and Gas Industry. The EIHS kids presented how to measure Metocean conditions without the use of a vessel or humans. After the judging was over, Trisha, Daniel, Mark, and Sage won the performance award for their achievements in presenting their solution.

    Currently, 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!
