Shocked, he shrugged

'Every time I take my father to school, I get upset when I get to school. As soon as I was startled, I had to ask him immediately about 'who' had caused the 'crime': that is a shy fork! ' , Nguyen Vinh Hung (12th grade student of Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School, Ho Chi Minh City) .

Seeing the fork in the car, Vinh Hung came up with an idea to turn over the perpetrator to see how 'he' changed. Hưng tried to consult his father. I didn't expect him to agree to 'sponsor' the technical part immediately. Hưng took the paper to draw a rough technical drawing showing the original idea. As a person in the trade, he helped Hung to edit some places before putting the machinist in accordance with the drawing.

Shortly after, Hung's new design fork was neatly attached to the motorbike. Father and son eagerly took the car to the road to test. The car runs smoothly throughout the long road, including those with potholes without any obstacles .

According to Ba Hung's observation for half a year, the car after turning over the fork has the ability to save about 10% of fuel consumption. At the same time the car runs completely stable. Hung likes to bring his ideas to the Young Creative Youth Contest for Ho Chi Minh City for the 7 th time, organized by the Young Science and Technology Development Center (Ho Chi Minh City Youth Union).

Although the idea only won the consolation prize, Ba and Hung were very excited.'I'm happy to find my child creative. Sometimes those who have not excellent academic ability come up with good ideas , 'said Ba Hung.

Hung said that this horizontal fork, though designed specifically for Hung's three motorbikes, is easy to use, but you can easily make other crossbars suitable for the structure of each existing motorcycle. Therefore, Hung cherished the idea of ​​bringing the idea further by participating in a national creative competition.

'Whether I win or not, I want to introduce you to this idea. I do not want to waste the support of my father to help me turn ideas into reality ' - Hung shared.
