Senior design project Options

[i love porsche]

hey everyone, i figured id post this here to see what you all thought

I am a ME student at NJIT and for a senior design project, Myself and 2 other students will be redesigning the front suspension of the 914. the goal of the project will be to optimize the structural rigidity of the control arm while decreasing weight, also to try and optimize the camber curves and adjustability for racing use.

prettymuch we would be designing a racing control arm. depending on the results, this may be something that could go into a production run..who knows

what im asking is for donations of stock parts. A arms, shocks, tie rods...

i want to try and recreate a front corner of the car that will be easy to modulate and work on for demonstration and testing purposes.

so let me know your thoughts/ideas

thanks
Aaron

Novelty means that it's a new idea, or its an old idea applied to new subject matter. This is neither.

It's the primary requirement for patenting anything. And the hardest part is when some jackhole decides that he want to compete with you and digs up any sort of prior knowledge to nullify your patent. I.E. Bosch 4 prong sparklers are patented internationally. There patent is immediately voided as soon as someone mentions that british airplanes during WWII had almost identical sparklers.

EDIT: (incomplete statement.) Picture of a 935 suspension component is an example of prior knowledge and voids the argument that this is a novel idea.
