Build-A-Crumbler Workshop; Thursday, Fifth Period [07/18].
"Last week, of course," said Amaya, because there was a lot of work to be done that day and she was ready and rearing to get right into it, "we worked on the bases and chassis of our Crumblers to Be, which means it can go, but to make it go better, we're working on engines today!
Which meant a quick lesson on what exactly constitutes as what an engine really was, the differences between internal and external combustible ones, different types of engines (with examples!), a breakdown of how engine and motor technology developed, as well as a look at some alternate energy-source motors, like solar, steam, as well as styles that involve gears or hydraulics.
"So, then," she said, once that thorough run-through was complete, "what kind of engine and motor you're going to outfit your Crumbler with can vary. I'm a big fan of steam and gears myself, especially coming from where I am where that sort of thing is the peak of technology, but play around with some options and figure out what you want to use for your own Crumbler, and we'll spend the class tinkering and thinking on all that."
