As a FSAE alumni, this just breaks my heart to see this. It could just as easily been people I knew, or even myself on our trips to Detroit.
My most sincere condolences to those involved and the...
Scientific design... doesn't go much into plenums. It actually wasn't as useful a reference as I had hoped. Check the references list at the end of my 499 for the other books I used.
You are going...
Just a note:
If you guys want some 13"x7"x20" hoosiers (Not R25A, a harder compound) that would be good for testing, I have a line on 1 use slicks. $100CAN for a set of 4, but they are going fast....
I have a (heavy) valve here that could be used for pressure relief. It threads into a 1" pipe thread. Otherwise, I'd suggest using a "grainger" valve, adjustable check-valve. McMaster Carr PN: 48935...
Right now it's a toss up between Camosun or Justin machining them. It's a bit of a hassle having to wait on Camosun.
You're not missing much on the newsgroup.

Does anyone know the status of my reimbursal cheque from the Detroit trip? I'm still out $2k here and none too happy about paying interest on it for 3 months... Can someone at UVic check into this...

370059 is our account number. Just make sure you tell them its on an account, and you want to pay cash not charge it to the account. There is no harm in using this for your own stuff, as it is the...

Off topic a bit, but there is still money in the Lordco sponsorship account. I have been using our account number for discount on my parts, and they keep offering to put it on charge instead of...
Nice find Colin, some of those look totally suitable.

There are other ways to store energy other than a flywheel... lots of ways around that rule if it exists. (I don't recall it)

Eek, sounds like it time to get some more brochures made.

I think you'll find most teams are in the 3.8-4.2 second 0-100km/h times. Top speeds, almost always gearing limited. 200km/h wouldn't be difficult, though the suspension design might make it a bit...
In my limited experience, it is definately worth the time and effort to learn Algor, as its a very good program and pretty easy to use too.

Yeah I thought it was unbelievable that we failed twice with a stock muffler... Our car is no louder than the street bike, and it really isn't louder than many cars/bikes on the road with exhaust...
That particular program was flowworks, a solidworks plugin. Its quite intuitive and very fast in the world of CFD. That particular image and test was done for more of a sponsor/department eye candy...
Oops, missed this post for quite some time.
The UV02 (car 99) pods weren't really fuctional, and were a last minute addition. In fact, we had to nix them in order to have a bigger radiator during...

There is a small chance that I will be at the Indy weekend, and if I am I will come by and help you guys out a bit. But I'll be there as a spectator mostly.
