Vehicle Mechanics
Vehicle Mechanics in charge of the aerodynamics, structure, handling, and safety of our vehicles.
Consequently, the division works with many different components and systems such as aerodynamic
shells, chassis, steering, braking, and roll bars.
With ample opportunity to tackle hands-on design, testing, and manufacturing
challenges, some goals for the division this year include:
Improving the aerodynamics of our Urban Concept vehicle
Investigating new chassis designs, including monocoque vehicles
Reducing mass by using composite materials for more components such as roll bars
Optimizing vehicle steering to reduce losses
Electrical
Electrical is responsible for designing the electrical components of the vehicles
and validation testing of all required electrical systems. These systems include
telemetry, motor control, fuel cell control, and battery systems. Some divisional
goals for this year include:
Completing the development of a custom brushless DC motor controller for the Urban Concept vehicle
Improving fuel cell monitoring and control systems
Continuing to improve the team's telemetry capabilities so more data can be collected from all three vehicles
Powertrain
Powertrain is responsible for the creation and transmission of
power to propel of our vehicles. This includes the design and
optimization of internal combustion engines and fuel cells,
motor specification and optimization, and the construction of
efficient drivetrains. The division's main goals for this year
include:
Improving the combustion efficiency of our ICE engine through new camshafts and refined tuning
Increasing the running efficiency of our fuel cell stack and achieving our highest mileage ever recorded
Building a new dynamometer to allow for improved testing and data collection for all three vehicles
