Although a little while after the event, The Ringing World has published an article on out feats at the Bellringer Regenerative Challenge competition. I think they chose the most aptly appropriate picture which seems to be the exact moment that the vehicle broke.
Enjoy the article:
Late on a Monday evening i recieved a phone call from a friend at work. David is a man who seems to have experienced most things. In fact I wouldn’t be surprised if he had lived three lives all at the same time. He proposed that we enter The Bellringer Regenerative Braking Challenge as part […]

IDEO Method Cards
These are the latest addition to my design book collection. They were posted on the 13th in California and arrived at my door on the 19th.
My impression from some of my colleagues is that Multi actually means Two.
I think that when a few engineers think of multi-disciplinary teams, they think about crossing the boundaries between disciplines between structural engineering and building services engineering. I think this might be because of the way that they have been brought up within the […]
I have been thinking over the last few days about how a designer can improve his or her chances of being accepted for a job interview. One of the key things I think that is important, apart from the Portfolio, is the Cover Letter.
“Of course,” I hear you chanting by the thousands, but I was […]
I have read an article in Business Week recently titled “Keeping Your People Pumped.” It’s writted by Jack and Suzy Welch and they have some great points to make. Within the article, they cite that there are four important factors to keep you motivated within the workplace, aside from financial.
Recognition
Celebration
A Clear Mission
Balancing Achievement and Challenge.
Recently, […]
After spending an extra long weekend away from the office, I have returned to become utterly bemused and bewildered. During my dilly-dally away from the office my group within the company moved rooms. Now it’s only one room along and it’s a nice change from the room before, and although i have a window seat […]
For a lot of my drawing I have given up the ghost on ‘ye ole sketchbook’ when marker pens are involved, purely because they bleed more than a zombie in a shoot ‘em up. I have instead resorted to leaving my sketchbook for design ideas and pre-concept work and turned to a few different marker […]
Books come in all shapes and sizes. Pretty much anyone in the world knows what one is, and most people know where to get one. Libraries around the world house vast amounts of books and although the Nazi’s burned a fair few, plenty more have been published since then. In fact, 300,000 new books are […]
I’ve been idling over buying one of the world famous Moleskine sketchbooks for quite a while, and always thought that at around £12 in most bookshops they were a little too expensive for just a sketchbook of moderate size. But then I happened to stumble upon them for sale on Amazon.co.uk for a mere £4.80! […]
One of the things which i failed to grasp at university was how much effort should go into gathering momentum for a project before your current project has ended.
I have come to learn that it is very important to make a healthy start on a new design project whilst a current project is in it’s […]
If I had been employed as I wanted after I graduated from University, I could have gone to a small to medium industrial design firm. There could have been anywhere between 2 and 50 people. I would have been paid the average wage for a graduate designer, obviously far below my real value.
As it […]
It’s not very often that I am captured by a book that I would actually class myself as addicted to it. I believe that it takes great content, a great writer, an interesting sway of dialogue and it also takes an interest in the subject. For me, all of these virtual boxes have been ticket […]
