The aggravating problem of air pollution is known to one and all. This has lead to a rise in demand for green and clean technologies. Vehicles, too, are no exception.
Efficycle stands for Efficient -cycle, a manual as well as electric powered three wheeled two seater vehicle. This is the fourth year of participation of NIT Warangal in this competition. The previous three teams tried their level best and we feel that it is our responsibility to raise the standard set by them.
The detailed description of various subsystems is as follows :
1) Design : The CAD Modelling of the trike was done using Solidworks software and relevant analysis was done using Ansys package. Maximum efforts were taken to minimise the weight of the trike.
2) Powertrain, Electrical : As per the rules, there should be a manual as well an electric drivetrain ( independent ). The transmission system designed bypasses the design of previous team in terms of reliability, maximum speed and many other parameters.
3) Suspension, Steering, Braking : An efficient combination of these improve the dynamic performance of vehicle. Use of Disc brakes, fork suspension was finalised after detailed discussions of the team.
Work Timeline :
Phase 1 ) Design Stage : Literature survey, Market survey, Regular debates, meetings, calculations, CAD modelling, feasibility checks made the phase-1 a very memorable one for us.
Phase 2 ) Fabrication Stage : We are currently at this stage. The fabrication work is being carried out in the Workshop, MED
