Electrical car project in collaboration with USN
This project will focus on producing a car.
The University of South-East Norway wishes to have a
product showcasing how skilled the students are and how
students can transform the knowledge gained in the university
into a complete physical product.
The project plan will span
over a couple of years so this project will be a foundation
for future work. The project plan is big and open which means
any team taking on this project can test and challenge themselves
in different ways.
The battery pack consists of 8 lithium iron phosphate cells connected in series which gives a total voltage of 20.4 - 29.4 V. This is used to control 2 DC motors. The engines are of the Siboni type and have a torque of 2.4 Nm. To control the motors, 2 DC motor controllers are used which adjust the motor speed using pulse width modulation. Ardunio cards are used to make the steering cordless. Everything is connected to a base made of carbon fiber and a frame that is welded together. To keep the car modular, as many components as possible have been 3D printed so that it can easily be replaced at a later occasion.
The team consists of 2 machine engineering students, 2 electrical engineering students and
2 software engineering students from the University of Southeastern Norway at campus Kongsberg.
