    hi,
    I am a grad student in ag engineering and I have to take a Capstone design
    class (because my background is in science). Anyway, I am looking to for a
    team (grad students or very serious undergrad) to design a mag-lev conveyor
    belt for a composting facility. I am close to getting an electrical
    engineer to join, and it would be great to add a mechanical engineer to our
    team. In this type of class the industry asks for a solution to a problem
    they have, and carry the costs of the designed solution. If they like it
    they might execute it. Among others a composting facility asked for a
    conveyor (not particularly mag-lev), and once I read about the mag lev
    conveyor (http://ntl.bts.gov/DOCS/tn442.html) it looked like a great way to
    cut costs and simplify transport.

    If you know of a student who might be interested, or a more apporpriate
    place to post this, let me know.
    Thanks
    Hala
