Hydrogen in one of the most abundant elements in the universe (both in case of mole- and mass-fraction), yet it is characterised by very good thermal and combustive properties. These properties result among others from the large thermal expansion of this element; a temperature change from 20K (liquid hydrogen) to 293K (gaseous hydrogen) causes an 846-fold increase in its initial volume (provided that...
The paper contains the identification of operational parameters of hydrogen cell (PEM) used in the energy-efficient, lightweight vehicle - HydroGENIUS vehicle. The aim of the identification experiment was to find for the given number of operating points the temperature values for which the hydrogen cell would work most efficiently. It has been shown that it is possible to improve the performance of...
The main idea of the research was to minimalize the mass of front seat for lightweight electric propelled vehicle. Available on the market lightweight seats adjusted for five point belts are designed mostly for sport cars where occur high accelerations and the safety requirements are very strict. For high efficient vehicle, it is not necessary to fulfill requirements for the FIA homologations and...
In the research was prepared the optimization of the front wheel rim parameters such like mass, geometrical shape and topology. The research is an answer for some needs occurred during preparation for the Shell Eco-marathon race. It was carried out as the part of the racing team Smart Power Urban Silesian University of Technology work. The study is basing on the authors developed method for conducting...
In the article is presented the study of the influence of the drones fairing cover on its aerodynamic characteristic. The research is an answer for some needs in the autonomous exploratory flying robots’ area. The study is basing on the authors developed method for conducting aerodynamic research for such objects. Altair HyperWorks software was used for the numerical analysis. The CAD models were...
Subject of work was to design and to construct a new steering system for light Urban-concept vehicle HydroGENIUS. The car was designed and built by racing team Smart Power from Silesian University of Technology to compete in international races Shell Eco-marathon. New system has been designed to replace the old one. During the designing phase it was taken into account that it should be lighter, smaller...
In the research was prepared the study of the influence of the windscreens inclination angle on the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the cars build for the Shell Eco-marathon race. The research is an answer for some needs occurred during preparation for the Shell Eco-marathon race. It was carried out as the part of the racing team Smart Power Urban Silesian University of Technology work. The study...
The subject of study was the methodology for aerodynamic analysis of the cars built for the Shell Eco-marathon race. The research was carried out as the part of the racing team Smart Power Urban Silesian University of Technology work. The study helped to develop methods for conducting aerodynamic research for such types of vehicles. The main idea of the research was the numerical calculation of the...
