About<br />

Greetings:<br />

I like to personaly calculate and design what I build or try to understand. In here there is all the tools I have<br />

used to make my vehicles. The complexity do increase all the time. You will also notice that there is a lot of<br />

Constant and sample material, the easiest is to use copy and paste. Maybe one day it will be working from a<br />

drop list.<br />

Future<br />

This is no guarraty that it will but it should one day be there since I do have need for those in a near future:<br />

-Pick sample with drop list (might never come by unless someone want to do it)<br />

-Physic that combine Kw <strong>curve</strong>s for calculation Acceleration speed and time.<br />

-Efficiency and loss calculator with procedure to find what is your drag, drive train friction other losses<br />

-Fuel economy calculator<br />

-Steering geometry calculator<br />

-Spring calculator, Leaf and coil, compression , extention, point of no return ...<br />

Caution:<br />

I have not verified externaly any of these formulas, some of them have been entered late at night and often<br />

from plain old memory then derivated. If you find any mistake please advise me.<br />

Small instructions:<br />

This is a very simple spread sheet based calculator, the white space are where your data should be<br />

entered, the light gray area are for the calculated value, the dark gray are for things that don't change<br />

Copyright and stuff:<br />

Well I made the thing, and I use it nearly daily for my hobby. If you find usefull let me know If you need an<br />

extra feature, do it yourself and if you wish send it to me or ask me, I might already have it. If you have<br />

questions, please ask. Also if you want you favorite engine/transmission/axle to be listed let the data come in<br />
