very exciting

i have heard of that technology project will be a hard ass. luckly enough, on the very first class on TP, Tony came up with a brilliant project and offers Tiitii and me to be partners of his. what a honor. that would really save us a lot of time and we can start the project right away. with Tony's knowledge, i believe that we can push our project to a very high level.
after class, we had a meeting among three of us. the project that Tony has is to build a EFI system. we have to clearly demonstrate the fuel formation and spark. without working with the eninge, how to simulate vacuum would be a real challenge to us. i  did some research on how to build our own vacuum pump and came up with two ideas:
1; use a  fridge compressor unit and other componets to build one
2: buy a  electric vacuum pump used on Ford diesel engine
the first one is obvious a little bit complex and hard to control
the last one we can simply control it by using a potentiometer to work with
but how it goes, will depend on the process we are making on the project
to further throughly understand the project, Tiitii and i went to Tony's work shop. he has disassembled a whole EFI system from a old TOYOTA COROLLA. we will put these components onto a white board to make them work. a speaker control motor would be used to play the part of  the engine.
to share the job, Tiitii will make a drawing for the board
and my job is to build a control unit to control the motor speed
