This is a little off topic. but interesting all the same.
I'm in fourth year at UNSW, studying Mechanical engineering. One of the subjects that i started today is a technical elective called "Land Transport Engineering"
Part of the subject is a very open ended research project based on land transport.
I think i have chosen my topic- to complete detailed design for a Diesel Hybrid Golf.
It's a bit of a wank, i know, but i just thought i'd like to do the feasibility study on the economy that a diesel golf can actually do- with all this media beat up about how good the prius is, i'd like to prove that i can do the same or better economy with 30 year old technology.
I'm not going to do it in practice just yet, but i think it will make for an interesting assignment, all the same.
What does everyone think?
