Christensen II</li></ul></small></h3><h4>May 14, 2019</h4><p>The ChemE Car That Cud showcases Wyoming’s dominant industries of agriculture
and mining by utilizing rumen fluid from a cannulated beef cow to generate
hydrogen to be used in a hydrogen fuel cell and radioactive cesium, a byproduct
of uranium that is often obtained from Wyoming’s mines, to time the car’s stop.
The concentration of cesium-137 source is measured using the radioactive decay
of cesium shielded by aluminum. The painted aluminum chassis was obtained from a
previous team at UW, and modified using plastic k’nex toys to adapt to the
current power source and stopping mechanism.</p><divclass="card border-dark m-3 p-3"><ahref=/academia/cheme-car/cud_cheme_car_web.pdf>/academia/cheme-car/cud_cheme_car_web.pdf</a>
