I still remember back in 2011 when we dropped a huge box filled with junk on our impact attenuator to validate it.

Scary.

"Perhaps too big a hint. => Under what circumstances does a OS car become a US car?"


When it hits the wall.

That is exactly what brazilians thought in 2002. "If it is bad the way it is, lets change!"

Result: 16 years in power. Legislative, Judiciary and Public-Owned Companies (!!!!) dominated by...

Keep this line of thought and in a 20 years span, you will be living in a socialism like Brazil is now.

The gradualism is strong in your speech, and that is the way most leftists build their...

Pro-tip from a guy living a socialist country: Don't be a socialist.

I'm glad to help. If any engine guru want to add something, it would be nice :D

The absolute orgasm for an engine guy is to have a forward pressure wave with peaks both at the overlap and when the valve is almost closed (you can think of that as a little "punch" on that last...

If the peak happens before the valve opens, you would be losing some of its momentum to reduce the backflow during overlap, right? When the overlap happens, usually covering a small range around TDC,...

I can't give you a precise answer to this question because I've never used a 3-D simulation to design my intake runner and plenum.

But, again: I highly advise you to ditch the 3-D simulation for...

Beshr,

I'll try to answer you with a question: how have you calculated/defined your runner lenght and diameter?

Beshr,

I am not too much into WAVE, but since it has most of the capabilities of GT-Power, I guess yes, you can use complex 3-D models in it. The problem comes with the discretization of such...

I agree with Andrew, that is what I was going to suggest after you answered my question :D

I strongly advise you to focus your simulation efforts on a reliable and solid 1-D simulation, using...

Can't help you with the software since I have never used SW Flow Simulation. But considering the not-so-great Static Simulation by SW, I would recommend using a better sofware like ANSYS or else.

The primary vegetation for ethanol fermentation in Brazil is sugar cane, not corn.

Cole,

Toyota in theory sell Prius here, but I've never saw one. Considering it costs 120k BRL, it's no wonder people would buy another car instead of it. There is no tax discount for electrical...

Cole,

Formula SAE Hybrid? No.

Hybrid street cars? As far as I know, from the regular brands, just a Ford Fusion Hybrid. It costs +140k BRL and honestly, I never saw any on the streets. It's...

Z,

not into FSAE-C anymore, though I may still do some research for maybe a master's degree or else with combustion engines since they are my passion and also what I think I have most knowledge...

Claude,

Don't know your definition of democracy, but for me it's just the dictatorship of the majority.

Socialism is not about distribution of wealth. It's about distribution of poverty. In...

I'll risk giving my 2 cents here.

As an old FSAE participant in both combustion and electric, both in very poor brazilian teams, I must say that money does indeed play a big part in the sucess of...

In the past, my team (s) built cars with steel (welded) uprights, off-the-shelf hubs, aluminum uprights and aluminum non-tripod-joint-built-in hubs.

If I have to choose, I would choose aluminum...

Thanks for the link, JSR!

But, who is Acke? D:

Yes, I'm leaning towards using traditional snap rings. Is anybody willing to share some tips regarding the clearance between the bobbin and the bell-rotor hole? I'll contact our sponsor and try to...

I've sent an e-mail to my local rules committee, waiting for the answer. Thanks for the help, everyone. If someone still wishes to add more info, please feel free :)

So, using E-clips is acceptable with T11.2.1? That's what I want to hear hahahah

I said I couldn't make the buttons in-house. We have a sponsor that is able to do the machining of the most critical parts.

The real problem for me, is having another thing to design...there is...
