Frances LeDuke
Team Manager
Frances voice over:
Competing in Shell Eco-marathon gives us the opportunity to work on these cars and experience hands-on learning.
One of the biggest challenges our team has faced is being brand new to engineering, as high school students…
Frances in vision:
… which means that as we've worked on this car, we've also had to learn how to work on this car. So we’ve learned skills in mechanical electrical and sustainable engineering. And now we're at the point where we can compete with our car in Shell Eco-marathon.

ELECTRICAL
SUSTAINABLE
Frances voice over:
Our car is run off of hydrogen. So instead of emitting greenhouse gasses, hydrogen's only byproduct is water.

HYDROGEN
Frances voice over:
We value educating others about hydrogen fuel cell technology, because it's important to us to let them know that there are other methods of fuel.

VALUE
EDUCATING
Frances voice over:
Hydrogen fuel cells are great because you don't need electricity to run the system.

Frances in vision:
A hydrogen fuel cell converts hydrogen into electricity.

Hydrogen fuel cell demo animation appears.
Frances voice over:
Hydrogen is contained in a large bottle, which flows that hydrogen to, in our case two regulators, which regulate the pressure of hydrogen from high to low pressure, hydrogen flows into the cell, which converts hydrogen into electricity, that electricity is displaced to our super capacitor, which then displaces the energy to our motor and our motor controller.
Hydrogen is converted into electricity in the cell by combining hydrogen and oxygen in a membrane in the middle of the cell. The two by-products are water and electricity through an electrochemical energy conversion.

Frances in vision:
Future engineers have a huge power to make an impact.

POWER
IMPACT
Frances in vision:
Additionally, we have the power to share our learning and share innovation with people who want to make a difference.
Frances in vision:
Thinking about the future at times can be really scary, but seeing students such as my team and other teams that are competing in Shell Eco-marathon, I see a future generation of people making change…

PEOPLE
MAKING
CHANGE
Frances in vision:
… People supporting the planet. Students educating themselves on climate change and doing something about it. I think a lot of times we sit back and look at the impacts and think someone should do something about that, but that someone is ourselves.
