This week our team has really started to apply some pressure to the gas and order the needed parts for our vehicle.  Cables were ordered and received from McMaster-Carr so that a laptop can communicate with the fuel cell.  Also, filled hydrogen storage tanks were ordered from the Penn State General Store and should be arriving shortly.  We are still looking to purchase a new 5-point harness for our driver, as well as a bluetooth headset or other handsfree communication device for our driver.  With only one week before spring break, we are getting much closer to an operational fuel cell vehicle.  Once our fuel cell is ready for testing, we will have a greater opportunity to analyze the type of supercapacitors we can use for this application.
