Electric Powered All Terrain Cars
Skills Used
Hardware designing and intensive research on electric motors, tractive systems, low voltage systems (12V) and batteries
Hands-on in mechanical labs
Software experience of Solid Works
My Role: Attended workshops on building Electric Powered ATV Cars with a team of 25 people from different disciplines. We were represented by Team Stallions, our college club at Nirma University. All the cars were to be designed for off-roading in rough terrains. I attended a 4-month intensive workshop learning about creating a basic car frame, designing on solid works, researching electric motors, tractive systems, low voltage systems (12V), and a lithium-ion battery for its optimum use and its practical realization in mechanical labs.
Inspiration: With the advancements in the automobile sector in India, the focus has been on achieving sustainable growth. SAE E-Baja, an intercollegiate design competition, started in 2014 as an initiative for promoting greener mobility on the counsel of former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.
