Gopher Motorsports 2024 Post Seaon Video
It's been a busy fall for the team thouroughly testing our EV, restoring our IC to driving status, and designing the next car! Our team has made the full switch to building only an electric car this year and we're going to massively increase our performance and competition readiness this year. This past weekend, we drove at the State Fair grounds for the last time this fall, gathering some final steady state analysis data. Enjoy this video making that announcement showcasing some of the footage gathered from testing our EV and IC vehicles over the past 2 year!

    Hey quick question, how do you keep your battery so cool at such high currents?

    • @DasEtwas
      @DasEtwas 3 місяці тому

      i don't know how their accumulator looks in particular, but Formula Student cars typically use 4 or 5 cells in parallel, making the average ~70 A draw negligable for the cells. the small heating only needs a relatively small air current to be exhausted out, in comparison to water cooling systems used in BEV road vehicles. our accumulator's weak point is also the Nickel 201 busbar which has such bad conductivity that the bus bars (probably) contribute to heating even more than the cells internal resistance does.

      Hey goodtime2344, I am unsure of what you mean by a control box in this case, but the current shown is the output of our high voltage accumulator (battery). This then goes through an inverter (converts the DC current to 3-phase AC), which spins our motor :)

      Our drivers would agree that it's awesome to drive, as well as that it could have been faster. Since this was our first ever driving EV that we didn't have working until a day before we left for competition, we had almost no time to test the vehicle, let alone do driver training. This was this drivers first time driving the vehicle in more than a straight line, it's amazing he was able to put up the time he did despite this.

      A hose came loose unfortunately. Prior to endurance the cooling system was vacuum tested with no leaks and all hose clamps were tight. We saw temp and pump current fluctuations in the data, so it is believed there was an air pocket, the system built up excess pressure, and eventually the line came off.
