azimibraun: Re inventing the wheel... Motor car wen I don do with gongoni and carton tire as a child.. Mk our science student create new tins wey never exist b4 or add smthin special 2 an existing phenomenon. Break grounds or advance an existing creation.

Reinventing the wheel seems the only thing Nigerian "inventors" are capable of, and even then they often do a shoddy job of it. It's quite funny.

Full option....

Tear animal rubber.

Natural AC.

2days ago I saw a basket car on NTA or AIT, nw am seeing dis.. 2 b honest can anybody drive in dis car? Is it road worthy certified by FRSC or VIO? If u say smone invents a car let dt car b a ble 2 travel @ least 100km. A grinding engine wld mk more meaning dn dis. U cnt use dis car, bt u cn use d one d indians and chinese boys and girls invent. Nt beef bt a fact.

This is just pure mental laziness. I understand that in the land of the blind, the one eyed bloke is expected to be hailed, and for this reason, i will expect similar blinded folks to come around saying "Hey let's salute them, at least they made an effort"

For fcks sake, what effort? If you wanna do something, do it well or don't do it at all, but by all means, don't plunge mankind back into the 18th centuries with your school projects. Even cars that were developed then were a bit more aesthetically looking than that thing.

I hope this mess of a project serves as a lesson of sorts for those kids going into their final years. Please and please, make sure your projects aim to develop on existing technologies. Discover something new. Explain a mystery. Discover a cure. Find an answer. Make the world better with your projects, don't just go sourcing some spare parts at alaba, hoping you'd win a Nobel for the first man to build a car, you are too late for that.

Baba419: When you say built a car do you mean one of those "bought the engine and design the body things" or "actually starting from scratch and making a car"? cos I see a good effort here.

Kudos, wether na 'assemble' 'resemble' or whatever, and what do u mean by start from the scratch? where and when was that ever done to the letter, which will mean by your expectation 're-inventing the wheel'. The Automobile is one of those inventions that evolved through progressive cumulative contributions to suit various goals/objectives, all we need ask is what is their specific contribution to this phenomenon ....

Lollycutie: U're a fool bigggggggg one at dat.What cant u do idiot,ur types are jst dumb n uncivilized.smh

see pot calling kettle black...you are the nincompoop here, what is damn special in that rotor toy car...I think you r the uncivilized here

How much?? I want to buy for my would be wife

Please tell me where to put the horse on this wagon.

nice one

webcalculator: This is a project by mechanical engineering students in one of the universities in nigeria.
they drove this car on the day of defence

Which school could it be and what is your take on the car?

Another Accident Machine.

val_dubem: wonderful car; but I wont ride in that!

With all the power vested in me by the federal republic of garriland/nairalan, I hereby place you under arrest for impersonation.

Lollycutie: U're a fool bigggggggg one at dat.What cant u do idiot,ur types are jst dumb n uncivilized.smh

so instead of ranting like a savage and a biatch. why dont u just state a reason or reasons for ur outburst? and what u think is wrong with my post

this is so cool[color=#990000][/color]

ds is bullshit

^^ you have asked a very good question, but you should also know that most car manufacturers, have the different parts including the engine built by different companies in same country, or different countries.

Bad design at this time of century you are designing a car like that I no mechanics that would do better than this ask them for help its part of research.

Positiveminds: Good effort. Hope in sight for Nigeria. GEJ is really making good stuff come out from our Universities

If i did not believe in the laptop squad before, this post would have changed my mind. Bros abeg no vex but wetin consign GEJ with this one?

why is it that smpple find it very difficult to appreciate their pple or their works. we re developing and one day,we will get dere. stop comparing us with the west. our boys re really working hard to be productive. all they need is our support.

Is this a motor or a tomor?

Nice

J12: Is this a motor or a tomor?

Why waste time, energy and resources on things ur community doesn't need because dey hv advanced beyond it and certainly a thing nt commercialy viable? I wld expect a team of mechanical engineering student 2 collectively work on smthing gud or partner with students in orther establish auto making cities with scholsarship funds 2 build a modern machine. Wt d hell is dis? Is dis wt we call scienticfic advancement? Na so cars wey dey boy d enter be? Stop praising mediocrity.

How many graduates have ever opened their project work after collecting NYSC call up letters

I will be more impressed if this project work becomes the focus of practicals for the incoming set of sudents so it doesnt become an ''assemble for marks'' stuff. But how many lecturers think that way

keep it up guys...

Nonsense
Waste of time and energy, who's gonna drive this sh!t??

FUTA MECHANICAL WORKSHOP

To be marketed by inspired motors .

Have you ever heard the expression "don't reinvent the wheels"? They should be looking to improve on existing models not taking us back to the 1900s

Why is a research carried out?
