Or are they? No, things are sawed apart so that we can start putting them together the way they should be joined.
The different pieces that will make up the chassis and car body of Aurora have all been manufactured now: the car body, the wheel houses, the base plate, the fire wall, the wind screen [...]
With a functioning oven and time tickig on to deadline we decided that it was time to take the scary step of manufacturing Aurora’s first major component. The purpose of a firewall is to act as a shield between the driver and the engine and fuel system such that if a fire were to break out [...]
At Mechatronics we are in the phase of testing our components and modifying our Matlab/Simulink model to our needs.
We are also developing methods to try different part of the system as “real” as possible before can get our hands on the mechanical part of the drivline.
Above is our testing card for testing our microprocessor AVR32UC3B0256.
To be able to cure (solidify) our soy-bean based plastic we need to heat it to 90 degrees C, for that reason we have built a over 5 square meters large oven.
The oven is heated with a 6 kW sauna aggregate and the air is circulated with a radial fan. The “door” is simply one [...]
We are proud to annonce that the Aurora project’s official web site is now online!
Here you will be able to follow the progress of the construction and building of Aurora, our own eco-friendly urban concept car.
