WE have basically determined that FSAE cars are really bad parachutes (kinda heavy), but there's some definite downforce to be gotten. If your wind tunnel is YOUR wind tunnel and you don't have a...

Mouser electronics carries digital selector switches. You rotate the switch through say 3, 10, or 20 positions and four wires coming out of the switch provide a binary number (paralell). You can hook...
Hey Mug, i didn't make it to competition with our team, how did your TCS turn out?
Actually, how did everyone's TCS turn out?
I'm redeveloping the system using a bargain basement...
allright... here's the thing about rotarys. First off, a two stroke engine doesn't really follow the otto cycle. It does, but it combines different parts into a single motion of the piston. Saying a...
Mmmm.. I think our whole dash panel will wind up costing about 100 dollars, including the time required to build and install it. I would never ever ever ever ever ever ever buy a panel that cost more...
My only question would be "why?". I have never heard of an electronic shifter that was faster than a good driver except for some exotic setups with two clutches like the new bugatti (one clutch for...
I think i have everything under control now as far as the launch control goes, and I found a specific circuit online for a gearshift indicator that reads the stock sensor, so that should be easy...
Hey, like to thank everyone again for the input regarding the TCS. Looks like i've got a winning module right now, BUT I'm trying to integrated a launch control into it, primarily so I don't wind up...
I was thinking of this myself, with two hydraulic motors for the front wheels, and perhaps an accumulator. I wouldn't power the front wheels except in and out of turns, and wait till the accumulator...
hey, a compound engine, huh?
I thought of dumping fuel into a large exhaust plenum/combustion chamber, with a small compressor bypass tap for easier startup, then routing this plenum into a...
hey, looks like i figured it out. i'm using different hall sensors, and i'm building a stand alone unit to do some other things on the car, to isolate our failure modes. Sorry i haven't posted back...
I am wondering how much it costs to implement traction control, and if anyone has implemented something akin to Stabilitrak, where braking AND Throttle are computer controlled? I don't really need...
