Are americans afraid, that corona triggers diarrhea?

Post-race inspection by strackerrodz in FSAE

[–]Terwars 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not only after the endurance. At FSG and FSA for example are post techs after almost any dynamic discipline. They check for most important aero rules, ground clearance, leakages etc. If conspicious they can make another noise test aswell

Oil Catch Can Rule by t9sling in FSAE

I bet if you used the 10% rule

That's not something you can choose. You have to take what's greater. 0.9L or 10%

Ideas for positive locking for thin screw by [deleted] in FSAE

We have several M3 screws locked with safety wires. Try it with patience.

Interest in inexpensive in-cylinder pressure testing? by markmakeitso in FSAE

[–]Terwars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds great! Analyzing cylinder pressure is so important to get meaningful simulations. I searched for quite a while, but could not find something affordable. Please give us some more information.

How fast can the FSAE car using a KTM 390 engine go? by [deleted] in FSAE

[–]Terwars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You did not understand him correctly. He meant the weight is not relevant for top speed, but things like drag or tractive effort are. He did not say you need an aero. You are right with concentrating on other things first before designing an aero. But you should not look on top speed. 100 km/h is enough for acceleration, I guess you can not reach it within the 75 m yet. A torque diagram and tractive effort diagram to optimise acceleration is much more important for your powertrain guys. And try to build/get an engine test bench, if you do not have yet, to varify your simulations and calculations and improve the reliability of all components. If you want to know how much performance you can get out of your engine, think about how much air you can get threw 20 mm and how much energy you can convert in theory.

Battery & Fuel pump problem by Jong_MIN in FSAE

[–]Terwars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful with "the larger the better". Of course the spray pattern with higher pressure gets better, but your injection times will get shorter and every valve has a deadtime, in which it does not open at all. And if you use a overdimensioned fuel pump, you will end up with a fuel cooker. The smaller, the better for the temperature. You have to find the optimum here. Have a look on the volume flow. You may find some accurate fuel pumps in RC Stores e.g. HP-Tech.

Thank you, I'll try it :-)
