MS works fine on SAE cars. Be careful talking to judges though, they tend to dislike the MS ecus as they're too limited (no daq etc.) Make sure the ECU matches the car.
Post specifics over on the...
Exactly.
Our brake light is 30g including mounting hardware, 6" leads, connector, everything. Oh and it was $5 at Meijers or Walmart.
There is always dissent amongst the team over custom LEDs...
As a member of the 9th place University of Michigan Dearborn team, I take exception to the statement:
"...all the Top 10 teams in this year's FSAE East attended one of these seminars in 2008!"
...
Official results should be posted sometime today. Then let the points analysis begin.
Despite the fact that it supports a Rob Woods idea, UMD is proud of our 9th place finish.
If any design judges read this we would really like to get some direct feedback about our car. With a 9th...
What is the cost per pin on a fuse box, it's blank on the sheet and has been for a while.
Also why are there 10 video tutorials for using the application when all but a SELECT few are forced to...
Your faculty adviser has a certain number of FREE papers from SAE each year, so you don't even need to spend the $11.
The best?
Nadella
What is actually needed? Definitely less.
Don't forget flex discs.
I think Colorado did some dyno research on the high angle halfshafts and found <0.5% efficiency loss.
Also didn't UB's Rob Woods have a quote about live axles being the...
I'm with the University of Michigan Dearborn. We have run CVT's since 2005, initially on the Briggs V-twins and more recently on the aforementioned Yamaha Phazer.
Without giving away results of...
We were working in the shop when this came on the radio....
Beastie Boys -- No sleep 'til Brooklyn
Probably very true for many of us, and take it as a reminder to be careful this week.

Ideally the BOT switch should kill the engine under any brake failure mode. Accounting for all modes of failure is not possible, but activating the switch on the pedal is standards and accepted. ...
Just an FYI, accumulators are relatively easy to make. This is really helpful when you just can't package the standard ones. It's just an aluminum tube tank with a piston separating the air and oil...
Like Josh mentioned, the transmission, chain, and tire ratios are devided out of the measured torque to get the engine torque.
Ie: lets say gear ratio in fourth is 1.3:1 The chain is 4:1 and the...
University of Michigan Dearborn 2002 car had one. A 600F2 was machined to add a mount near the output shaft. I will reinforce the downsides, weight, cost and time.
karting brakes are cheap:
Kart Rotors
and about the size you're looking for.
The torque is measured by a dynamometer or dyno for short. A dyno provides a load for the engine and then measures the output torque and rpm.
For measuring motorcycles an inertial dyno is typical...
Technically a high power density is not a weight saving merely a space savings, but its nice to put mass lower and packaging smaller. What you mean is high power/mass.
I did a bit of analysis...
How cool!
