Yesterday I had my first practice for my presentation and I think I did very well, except for saying "What not" but I'll work on that. Yesterday I also finished all the final touches on my model engine and I'm will probably bring that in by Friday for my second presentation. Today I made a few modifications to my PowerPoint and it looks a lot better. I added pictures from when i went to the SAE World Conference in April last year.
I talked to a friend of mine who is also going to give me a Big Turbo to help present my project, which is a good visual. Everything is good and I'm ready to present again Friday and Next monday.

- *Torque-another measurement put out by an engine, relating to how fast an object twists or turns
- *Horse power(hp)- a way of measuring the amount of power an engine puts out
- *Global Warming-the increase in the worlds temperature, believed to be caused from greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide
