What is Chem-E Car? (From Wikipedia)
Chem-E-Car is an annual university competition for students majoring in
Chemical Engineering. In this competition, students must design small-scale automobiles that operate by chemical means, along with a poster describing their research. During the competition, they must drive their car a fixed distance in order to demonstrate its capabilities. In addition to driving a specified distance, they must also hold a payload of 0-500mL of water. The exact distance (15-30m) and payload is given one hour before the competition. The size of designed cars cannot exceed a specific defined size and cars must operate using "green" methods, which do not release any pollution or waste in the form of a visible liquid or gas, such as exhaust. This competition is hosted in the USA by AIChE (American Institute of Chemical Engineers). The current rules may be found here.
