Swiss Electrical Auto Sets Acceleration Globe Tape [Video]
An electrical racing machine developed past times students at ETH Zurich as well as the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences as well as Arts on Mon laid upward a globe tape for acceleration, the universities announced.
The “grimsel” machine sped from nix to 100 kilometres an sixty minutes inward only 1.785 seconds, at a armed forces aerodrome inward Dübendorf inward the canton of Zurich, great the the previous record.
The previous tape of 2.13 seconds was laid upward past times Delft University of Technology inward the Netherlands.
Operated past times a educatee squad from the Academic Motorsports Club Zurich (AMZ), The grimsel car, reached a speed of 100 km/h inward less than xxx metres, ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, said inward a intelligence release.
Thirty students from the 2 swiss universities developed as well as built the racing machine inward less than a year.
The carbon fibre constructed vehicle has a sum weight of 168 kg as well as is powered past times 4 AMZ M4 cycle hub motors that create nigh 200 hp (147 kW). The inward household developed synchronous motors create 37kW each at a weight of 3.4kg. The planetary gearbox which is integrated into the upright transmits the torque to accumulated 1630Nm at the wheels. Using traction command as well as torque vectoring the torque is individually controlled, increasing the agility of the vehicle.
AMZ was founded inward 2006 ivy ETH students as well as produces a image racing machine to compete inward diverse educatee formula competitions inward Europe every year.
