WUaS Idea- and Academic Resources[edit]

Ideas[edit]

World University & School would like to start developing an 18 wheel truck trailer that will power the engine in the cab in front - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Solar_Vehicle ... (this is the idea: http://www.portawatts.com/truck%20power%20rig%20portawatts%20lres.jpg but this is a portable, renewable-energy, stationary power generator, and not what I have in mind). Here's a new, open, wiki subject about this at WUaS: Solar Trailer Design: http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Solar_Trailer_Design.

Publish my article in a WUaS academic journal in this subject[edit]

Open Journal Systems. 2012. Open Journal Systems. Public Knowledge Project.

(WUaS's wiki, information technologies and criteria for this - informed by the WUaS academic journal subject matter - are developing, since you can already publish your article at http://www.academia.edu).
