Passing of the torch

It's time, I finished my Masters at Manhattan College and have passed the Veggie Car keys along to Dr. Rich Carbonaro. There were a few students still at the college who were showing some interest in the car and the veggie car project. I am sure they will continue the project and make us all proud. Next I am off to Boston to start my career as a Consulting Engineer. Maybe a Veggie powered hybrid plane is next, we'll see....



I will pass along all blog information to Dr. Carbonaro back at MC and hopefully they will continue to use this to update everyone on future events and happenings of the Veggie Car.

Veggie Car in the newspaper again!

Sunday there will be an article in the NY Post about alternative fuels and vegetable oil as a fuel. I spoke with the journalist for awhile and she is going to include some of my thoughts on alternative fuels. She may come up to see the car this week. Hopefully she'll take some pictures and we'll get the car in the Post Sunday!

Updates to come!

Manhattan College Graduate Graduation May 21st

Veggie Car resting

Not much happening with the car recently, but I have been able to get the SNY.tv clip of the car on CD. If you would like a copy please let me know and I'd be happy to send it to you.

I recently came across a new technology that promotes fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions. It is called PICC (Pre-Ignition Catalytic Converter) . It's worth looking up on Google if your interested. This is something that I'd love to work on but because I am graduating in May I won't have the time. Although, I am starting my search for a student to take the Veggie Car project and continue it when I leave. I am going to encourage him or her to try the PICC.

On Campus

On Thursday January 31 from 2-5 I will be in Draddy Gymnasium presenting my poster on the Veggie Car Project. The event is "Focus the Nation" and inside Draddy Gym is a Sustainability Fair. Throughout the day speakers will be presenting relevant issues, I will try to post a schedule. I am also working on displaying the car somewhere on campus.

Updates to come...

The Veggie Car got some great attention on SNY tv. I was very interested in how they were going to edit it, but it came out great. Thank you everyone for tuning in and watching!!!
