The Tony Stark of Mexico who created a car with a washing machine
Youtube channel LINK Sinaloa has published an interesting report, taken up by the chain of Univision, where he tells the story of Rosvel Emir Cruz. A 16-year-old student who attends high school at CONALEP in the community of El Fuerte, Sinaloa, Mexico.
Emir is part of the computer science group 312 and together with his father, according to the video, he created his own car to transport himself to school every day from the community of Los Ayones, which is 3 kilometers away:
The curious thing here is that the source of technical knowledge for the construction of his vehicle was not CONALEP itself, but a series of videos and tutorials that he caught on YouTube:
“I was on Facebook and photos of carts came out, also on YouTube. So I thought I could make one, so with the materials I had at home I made it.
I had a small ATV and the tools, I was guided by the videos that appeared on Facebook and I liked them to implement them in mine.”
The vehicle is made up of pieces of metal left in his home, parts of an ATV, a motorcycle (where he got the engine from) and a washing machine that was not used at home.
