71.9s Dirty 1 cone (73.9). From a lap time simulator, fastest theoretical lap is 67s

In this video I go over creating a brake system from scratch, including selecting rotor sizes, master cylinders, calipers, and using tire data. We then take a look at how a point mass lap simulator can be useful in simulating brake temperatures for use in brake pad compound selection. note: The calculations are assuming a fixed caliper. ex. A single 1" piston floating caliper will have the same...

I go into the effect chassis stiffness has on vehicle handling. I've seen the question "How stiff does my chassis need to be?" multiple times, but never saw an answer, so I decided to do some research into it.

What is jacking force, how to calculate it, and how to use it? I go over what I've learned about jacking force, and why you would want to use it for weight transfer calculations over the roll center method. Jacking force calculations are useful if you have an aeromap, but also useful for any racecar for tuning transients. I haven't seen any videos on this, so I hope this helps someone. Sorry fo...

The 400EX fits! Now to make it one with the frame. Of course, a few obstacles had to be jumped to mount it.

After the Buell Blast 500 didn't fit, I went on the hunt for a new engine and this is what I got!

This is my method to make mounting tabs from hand tools. Hand drill, angle grinder, and a belt sander. Plasma tables and laser cut parts are nice, but they're not always available. Comment below with your method

Welcome to my garage! Here I go over a little racecar design and engineering talking about loads in A-Arms, and have a demonstration of this. While I was in college, I read forum post, and was even told by an engineer from a large aerospace company that a-arms are two force members. Of course, I did my own research to show that they indeed are not. Be cautious sizing you a-arm tubes and bearing...

Upgrading my Ebay 3020 CNC router's motor. This was a huge improvement to being able to cnc mill hobby projects.

Use simple tools to find the center of gravity (CG) of any object! In this case, a Honda TRX 400EX engine for my FSAE autocross car. Most people can do this for little to no money! Credit to Ole Greg who showed me this during our time in college.

I go through the process of fitting a Buell Blast 500cc single cylinder engine into my 2009 FSAE car. Using the physical pieces, as well as using 3d scans and CAD, I go through the options of how I can make this engine work in the car.

I walk around my 2009 Formula SAE car and discuss the design (or lack of) and future of this autocross car. Future videos will be on the restoration of this car, to include design, simulation, and fabrication. I hope to bring what I've learned through the years to UA-cam, as I find it hard to find the engineering and simulation for racecars in one central place.

I had a stuck bolt on my '06 Silverado, and this is the process I used to remove it. This covers trying an EZ out, and what I do when those fail to remove the bolt.
