Our speaker for the meeting at Stookey’s Restaurant on Wednesday, October 10, 2012, is Boone County’s own Lucas Dull.

Have you heard about BUVs?  As part of his senior design project, Lucas and his classmates designed and built a Basic Utility Vehicle (BUV) for Cameroon, Africa.  A BUV is a vehicle that is cheap, durable, able to carry a significant load, and can be made with what is available in the area.  A BUV must meet the transportation needs of rural Africa where roads are terrible, and cars are extremely hard to get.  Lucas and fellow classmates started at the concept phase last September, and worked through the rest of the year to have a prototype vehicle for a competition last April that was put on by the Institute for Affordable Transportation, the organization behind the idea of BUVs.  After the semester ended, Lucas was part of a group of 6 students who traveled to Bangang, Cameroon, for 19 days to share their design with ACREST, an NGO working to develop sustainable technologies for the area.

Please join us to learn more about Lucas and the BUV project.  RSVP by October 5th to Chuck Schmal, 317-344-9253, email: cschmal@uspatent.com, and then send your check for $25 per person (payable to Purdue Club of Boone County) to Chuck at: Chuck Schmal, 9253 Windrift Way, Zionsville, IN 46077).
