Driving hard on the race track: wear-resistant iglidur gears in the gearbox2/1/2019
Build a fast, energy-saving racing car from an ordinary, remote-controlled car and overtake all other teams in a race – that's the goal of the "Youth Discovers Technology" (Jugend entdeckt Technik - JET) Challenge, organised by the Society of German Engineers (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure - VDI) and the University of Hanover (Hochschule Hannover - HSH). As with the renowned models, the key factor is not speed alone, but also energy efficiency. In June 2019, visitors to the IdeenExpo can see the JET Challenge in action at the HSH trade fair stand. 25 teams compete for victory with their racing cars on a 1:10 scale on a 20-metre race track. The rules are strict. Available to each team is a budget of just 50 euros. Apart from battery, motor and speed controller, all components must be purchased, developed or built by yourself. |
