Vehicles that run on alternative fuels are part of a cutting edge technology.The Automotive High Project began after a diesel-powered Mercedes was donated to the school two years ago.
Thomas Cassino,mechanics teacher,“The original diesel engine...was actually produced to run on vegetable oil and whale oil.”
The oil running the engine was collected from the school cafeteria and from restaurants,then placed into a converter,which heats it up while the engine starts using the diesel fuel.With the flip(轻击)of a switch,the engine is cooking with oil,though collecting it can have drawbacks.
Melissa Silberman,principal,“Once they started running the car,they didn’t want to eat in the cafeteria any-more because what the French fries(炸薯条)were cooked in weren’t so attractive if it can run a car.”
And it has its advantages.Curtis Giscombe,student,“It smells like the back of McDonalds...It smells like French fries.”
The students are not likely to influence the more widespread use of alternative fuels,but if the day comes when lots more cars are running on cooking oil,the students will be prepared to service them.
