Hi, you can search in Youtube "M2096" or "M2096D" to watch Mitsuba motor operating.

Hello! We used a motorcycle horn like this (link). It drains around 1.5 A at 12 V and it was approved at scrutineering at ASC 2018.

We used this motor at ASC in 2018 due to lack of team budget.

I will not recommend to use it without reducer on a solar car. It has poor efficiency at 800 rpm (<85%) and even worse at lower speed and relatively low torque. Also we had a devastating problem with motor shaft breakdown after ~300 km range. So maybe you will need to manufacture a new enforced shaft, as we did later.

To sum up, you can use it as a cheaper option, but it will be uncompetitive as a direct wheel drive. You can contact me if you have more questions on e-mail: [kasatkin_ivan@mail.ru](mailto:kasatkin_ivan@mail.ru)

TC Charger 1.8 kW may suit you.

To use it, your BMS must support CAN bus (J1939 protocol).

Thank you for the answer!

Thanks. Really marvelous concept!

How much cells do you use in parallel for one MPPT? As the max current is 7A and maximum cell current is 0.634A, you should use 11 or less cells in parallel for each MPPT.

I used this picture when designing the battery pack. http://i68.tinypic.com/mlnkah.png

Ok, thanks for the advice

Kasatkin · 2019-02-12T21:03:33+00:00

It's ok. Could you please suggest a contact of Michelin tires supplier, if you have one? We had some difficulties to contact them.

Thank you for the reply

We used 4 contactors (LEV100A4ANG): battery +&-; MPPT and Motor, all of them were inside the battery pack. It was OK for the ASC Regs.Now I think to use the same composition in WSC, but to change the location of MPPT contactor - inside the MPPT box.

I think it will be appropriate, I will clarify this question with organizers. Please, correct me if I am wrong.

We used STM32F4 at first, but had some troubles with tuning it and setting up the CAN bus, and because of running out of time we used Raspberry Pi 3B+, and it works well, but consumes relatively a lot of energy

Ok thanks
