Coachella Sneak Peek: Biodiesel Golf Cart
September 09, 2010
Project Definition:
To completely convert a gasoline powered golf cart to run on bio diesel instead of gasoline, paint it with a really cool design incorporating a headlining band at Coachella, and drive it around in Indio, California for the weekend at the festival. Biggest Hurdle:
Replacing the entire engine of the golf cart utilizing the existing frame support structure.
Partners in Crime:
Michael Silverman, Jacob Schaffert , and Michael Rosenfield worked on converting the golf cart from gasoline to bio diesel.
Words of Wisdom:
On bio diesel, “Bio diesel has the opportunity to become a fantastic alternative energy source, but for it to be successful, it will need to come from waste products, and not from potential food sources.” – Michael Silverman
On these kinds of projects, “Get out there and do them. Apply for the grant and start the project. My partner and I have learned so much from our work on the golf cart project. Get out there and make your own version. I can’t wait to see a hydrogen powered golf cart. We need more of these projects!” – Michael Silverman
