Hello Cluster 2,
As we enter the second half of the program and move into group work with kinetic sculptures, I thought I would give you some websites to inspire and also some online tools that might help.
Dr. Delson mentioned Laser Sailboats as a good example of a successfully realized design concept. The idea was to build a high performance sailboat that was easy to transport and reasonably affordable for the masses. The link to the site is:

He also mentioned the famous "skunkworks"...here is a link to learn more:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skunk_works
Here are some more links to companies that are related to aerospace engineering, fast electric cars and robot dogs:

In addition, KJ let me know about two cool (and free) resources that might be helpful to you as you work on your clock web pages. Google Sketchup ( http://sketchup.google.com/ )is a 3D rendering program and NVU ( http://www.nvudev.com/index.php ) is a webpage development tool. Thanks KJ!
If you find useful tools or websites please let me know or post them in your blogs.
By the way - awesome blogs - keep up the good work!
Mr. Park
