Very Flexible Poisonous when burned Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: Must be glued, screwed, or bolted. PVC Can be used for: Frame, BodyLexan: Light Weight Med Strength Easy to work Can be shaped Shatters in certain conditions Expensive: $40 per 600 cu.in. Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: If casting, similar to carbon fiber, but no compression If manipulating sheets, limited flexability Lexan Can be used for: Frame, BodyKevlar: Lightweight Strong We can work it without any expertise Flexible Cheap: $2/sq. yd. Flexible Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: Must have solid frame to cover Kevlar Can be used for: BodyCopper: Light Weight Med. Strength Cheap – Easy to get Easy to repair Must be welded carefully High conductivity Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: Special Rods for oxy or arc welding needed. Copper Can be used for: FrameChromium-Molybdenum Steel: Med. Weight High Strength Easy to machine Cheap Can be oxy welded Ferris Slightly Heavy Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: None Chromium-Molybdenum Steel Can be used for: FrameCarbon Fiber : Lightweight Strong We can work it without too much expertise Cannot be repaired Expensive, approx $30/ sq. yrd. Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: Must have a large workspace to build mold, prep, and cast fiber Must be compressed during construction or will peel under high speed or stress Carbon Fiber Can be used for: Body, FrameBalsa Wood: Light Weight Med Strength Easy to work Can be shaped Not flexible Expensive: $25/sq.yd. Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: Must be glued, screwed, or bolted. Balsa Wood Can be used for: Frame, BodyAluminium: Light Weight Med. Strength Easy to machine Cheap Must be welded carefully Expensive: $10/ft Requires precise reinforcement placing Advantages Disadvantages Building process restrictions: Tig welder or similar required Aluminium Can be used for: Frame, BodyWhat is Nuna II Made of?: What is Nuna II Made of? Lexan shell reinforced with Twaron Main body is cast carbon fiber Suspension and other vital systems are machined titanium Ways to Maximize Vehicle Efficiency: Ways to Maximize Vehicle Efficiency Front wheel drive is up to 30% more efficient than rear wheel drive Electrical system using a maximum power point tracker extends runtime even in shade Minimize surface area air must contact, total vehicle thickness must be a maximum of 12 inches Minimize body extensions, make wheel covers as close to wheels as possibleThey may be good, but its just because they have money. : They may be good, but its just because they have money. We don’t have as much money, but we can match them. And that makes us better! You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
