Is there any other technology, ultrasonic or otherwise... that is commonly used?
<$1000 would be good
<$200 would be fantastic
It's for a 200kW (ish) truck engine
I had consider an FTI, FT-20, 9-90GPM , 1" ID
I have no idea how much this would cost
I had also...
Has anyone measured coolant flow rate in a pipe?
And I mean a closed system on a loaded (hot) engine....
What device did you use?
Were you on a dyno, or driving?
Was it any use? Accuracy?...
Got them sorted.
Thx

If you are using scales and jacks, note your scale accuracy, and significant digits.
Also, make sure you dont yield the frame of your FSAE car. If you are not sure, I'd...
Show me yours!

I like plywood. I dont like messing around with glue so much.
So what to do for the ATS roll hoops?
And spring / damper from a kmart bicycle? or something more rugged?
And could you convert...
Hi Pat,
What's your wish list for the ATS?
Designing an ATS would mean I'd be far to busy to post in this forum. That's a good thing yeah?
I've been lately working for an "ex-government department" who transport lots of coal by rail. In my...
I'm super keen to build an ATS!
Not so sure about the that drawing board business.. hand calcs yes, but I draw the line at pencils
If you lay out a tight track then a "mario kart" should win.
what about a spring starter? http://springstarter.com/uploa...starter_on_ferry.wmv

I have not validated lap simulations, but personally, I don't think aero makes these cars significantly faster. If it's an open track, by FSAE standards, then I believe aero can be faster.

i say:
MOAR to yaw acceleration.
MOAR to corner exit traction.
MOAR to rear weight.
MOAR to stiff chassis
BOO to electronics
BOO to bad ergo
BOO to bad controls
Boo to weight
I would like:
A comfy seat position with elbow room, where the steering setup lets me pull steer.
Slipper clutch

I’m not talking about “bearing slop”, this does exist and will contribute to the histeresis of the chassis. This requires a whole new thread, and we will need to discuss chocolate and coffee in great...
With regard to FEA not being equal to physical testing
I would say the primary sources are, in order of merit:
Engine mounts not treated well in FEA( depends if engine is a major load path ) ...
I think we should move away from cheese and discuss red wine.
There exists a roll centre at the front and rear, just as any typical suspension. Moving the height of the “Active In-Frame Twister Joint” above or below the roll axis would cause the chassis to...

The following statement applies to a chassis with no torsional stiffness: (case A)
During lateral acceleration, the sprung mass elastic weight transfer is distributed between the front and rear of...
If you make the restrictor from a soft material, like SLS or plastic, then you are wise to leave it well undersize, like 19.92mm
It is not uncommon that the steel no-go gauge is pushed into the...
