Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Prometheus Research Team of National Technical University of Athens
hi i'm Sevastianos. I'm an electrical engineering student at the National
Technical University of Athens. I'm also a member of Team Prometheus.
Our team began its activities seven years ago by a handful of students.
It's main goal was to design and construct high efficiency electrical vehicles.
Our team has continuously participatedin numerous international fuel efficiency vehicle races
the journey hasn't been easy. We began with extremely limited resources and funds.
But with hard work, dedication and our enthousiasm to apply innovative ideas and methods we managed to
overcome so far these difficulties. In the last two years we have been working on our
latest accomplishment "Pyrforos II", a vehicle constructed solely by our team
Pyrforos, meaning he who brings fire, is named after the Greek mythical titan
Prometheus, who introduced mankind to fire.
According to our calculations and testing our vehicle is capable of covering the
distance from Athens to Paris at a cost of approximately 60 cents of a Euro.
We are also very proud to inform you that because of our team work performance along
with our personal consistent promotion of the Greek culture in the Eco-Marathon races
we were granted the best team spirit award among 200 competitors
Hi! I'm Christos, the manager of Prometheus.
Our team consists exclusively of undergraduate and PhD students
All of our members are volunteers, hard-working scientists committed to
excellence and the achievement of our goals
But sometimes hard work is not enough. The team has many travel expenses
as well as vehicle improvement costs
Therefore, relying on private funds has become the only option in order to
continue our research and development.
This project cannot be completed without your support. The future is in our hands
Together we can contribute in creating a healthier planet, with polluting free
inexpensive transportation.
Support Prometheus!
