Revolve NTNU<br />

<strong>2016</strong> sees the 5th entry into the<br />

Formula Student competiton for<br />

Revolve NTNU, with Scandinavias<br />

first 4WD electric race car<br />

- Gnist. Our team consist of 56<br />

students from all five years of<br />

study and several different engineering<br />

disciplines.<br />

The 4WD system opened a lot<br />

of opportunities, like torque vectoring<br />

and regenerating more<br />

energy from breaking. This lead<br />

to a deeper reserch regarding<br />

new battery cells to cobe with<br />

the charging currents.<br />

We wanted to design the TV-algorithms,<br />

planetary gearbox,<br />

carbon fiber rims and suspension<br />

system as well as our own<br />

SiCMOS inverter to lower the<br />

systems weight and increase<br />

efficiency. This alongside improving<br />

our electronics and analysis<br />

software, re-designing the monovoque,<br />

battery, aero package<br />

and cooling system lead to another<br />

year with hard work and technical<br />

improvements.<br />
