Hello everyone, thank you so much for helping this wonderful group of students achieve success in the automotive and engineering world. Your donations have already been used to purchase materials for testing, including a test batch of batteries, aluminum for the clamshell liquid cooled heat sinks and the tooling needed to manufacture them. We have also purchased pieces for scale testing of the batteries, including the bright idea of using light bulbs as a load resistance for the batteries. As a club we have already retrofitted the old 2017 IC car into an Accumulator cart, this was during a fabrication and welding mentorship session. Thank you so much and more updates to come!!!
Your donation can help cover the cost of building this new electric vehicle. $49 will cover multiple items such as one half a battery segment, nuts and bolts, welding gas and wire.
Now that we're moving, your donation can help us stop! Brake pads and rotors are wear items. Each test consumes a set of brake pads which are custom made for the FSAE EV car.
Each competition season the team can wear through as many as 40 tires. Each tire is custom made for FSAE EV vehicles. Your donation can help cover the cost of a single tire.
Your donation will provide a warm bed and transportation for two very tired engineering students heading and competing at the main racing events.
Your donation will provide the means for emerging engineers to experiment and research technology typically/potentially not obtainable otherwise; an example would be Carbon Fiber Composite Research. Carbon Fiber is an expensive material and requires expensive equipment for safety and production.
