Task 10 C-Project:

In our project we want to find out what impact classic cars and electric cars have on the environment in comparison. We also made a cost comparison between these two types of cars, taking into account the following points:
- Acquisition costs
- Maintenance costs (repair, refueling/charging, etc.)
- Stability of value

Our goal is to raise awareness about cars through these two main points: cost comparison and impact on the environment from production to wear and tear to disposal, compared to old-timers and electric cars.

 

Becoming a pro at audio cutting

Today I focused on cutting the audio from the interviews and oh boy! I have more than 1h worth of audio to cut through.
Since I am already aquainted with the audio cutting tool, it is not that much hard work. But listening to my own voice defenitley sucks. I am working with the tool "audacity" - I recommend it to anyone that wants to edit/cut audios.

 

Goals of 25.03.2022

My to-do-list for today contains of writing our introduction in web-publishing in word-press and finish the evaluation of our survey. After that, we have to make our voice recording of the survey and we will make a little video of our interviews as well. But at first we concentrate us on one step and then on the other.
There is still a lot of work ahead of us but we are optimistic that we will make it.

C-Project Task 16

Since Andrei is no longer in the BMS, cooperation with his friends has become very difficult. He works in the evenings and so I can hardly talk to his friends. Therefore, I have concentrated more on Switzerland.

I have already learned a lot about the possibilities of how to power an aircraft.

 

oldtimer vs. new cars

It was very difficult to get any information about the energy output of oldtimers. After a long search I found a reliable source from which I took the information that gave me a very surprising result.

<em>Glugg glugg glugg.</em>

The biggest positive point about a vintage car is the fact that it has already been manufactured.
In Europe, a new car is purchased every 5-7 years on average. Since most of the emissions are produced during the manufacturing process and then "decomposed" during use, the modern car becomes more and more environmentally friendly the longer it is driven.
