While set off from a tragic accident this episode looks into a potential future where air based travel dominates the transport around Wits. Would it work?

A consideration for ideas and asking is it really worth doing it. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

Have you ever wondered how to clean a runway? If you answered yes then please change your answer to no. If no then me neither. But it brought up some interesting ideas. I enjoyed this one.

To clarify no cats have been harmed in the consideration of this topic. All options should be considered but that doesn't mean you need to go to the prototype stage with every option - especially in this case. I really do actually like cats.

Let's discuss the pogo stick. See it as an abstract critical evaluation - maybe not always on topic or sensible but then again other than lectures when are we on topic or sensible?

In a hypothetical universe we decided to use the 3rd year mech designs and well it did not end well. Now how are we going to explore the rainforest for the annual trip that we do to find new ideas for design projects?

Another spitballing type episode. Boer gives a situation and let's see what we can do about a solution. I think I am seeing some potential for a 3rd year project in all this...

All based on an idea I had one morning that I could not figure out a good answer for. Not sure I think what we arrived at was a good answer either but an interesting way of considering the influence of our own perspectives on how we view solutions.

Who would have thought that November has such a heritage for cool ideas and designs being published. Not in undergrad mind you - not even I am that optimistic but at least in history. Also we start intending to talk about this and actually finish talking about it as well!

By the time this comes out the 3rd year mech's will have submitted their projects. In the lead up to that I have some pretty major concerns of what I will get. So this is sort of a prediction or look into some of those concerns. Will report back eventually as to what I got.
