CAR BODY PROGRESS

Molding or moulding is the process of manufacturing by shaping pliable raw material using a rigid frame or model called a pattern.
A mold or mould is a hollowed-out block that is filled with a liquid like plastic, glass, metal, or ceramic raw materials. The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. A mold is the opposite of a cast. The manufacturer who makes the molds is called the moldmaker. A release agent is typically used to make removal of the hardened/set substance from the mold easier.

UKM SEM ASIA 2011 BUNTING (SOLAR CAR - UKM CAR3)

SEM Asia Showcase of Malaysian Teams

The Shell Eco-marathon is a global competition that challenges universities from around the world to design and build vehicles that can travel the furthest distance using the least amount of energy.

Malaysia is privileged to once again play host to the Asian leg of this competition in July 2011, where 117 student teams representing 14 countries from across the region will participate.

Of these, 23 teams are from 16 Malaysian universities and 2 of them are representing our beloved campus, The National University of Malaysia.


Ahead of the July competition, it gives a great pleasure to UKM's team been invited to a ceremonial send-off of all Malaysian teams. This ceremony wish us well in create and invent potentially the world’s most energy-efficient vehicle.

Hope to see all of you there. Please support us.

THE OVERALL SYSTEM

Building a solar car is a very ambitious goal, but one that is achievable through hard work and commitment. One of the first things to do is to organize a group of people interested in building a car, and planning a specific goal. How much money will you need to build a solar car? If the least expensive parts are used, the cost of a solar car is about RM 50 000, not including trip costs to the competition. You will need a core group of fundraisers who are willing to spend the year making presentations to businesses and speaking to individuals at their home. You will also need to assess what materials and tools you need and get several people focused on building the car itself. It may be a difficult road the first year, but the things you learn along the way will last a lifetime!

Solar cars are powered by the sun's energy. The main component of a solar car is its solar array, which collect the energy from the sun and converts it into usable electrical energy. The solar cells collect a portion of the sun's energy and stores it into the batteries of the solar car. Before that happens, power trackers converts the energy collected from the solar array to the proper system voltage, so that the batteries and the motor can use it. After the energy is stored in the batteries, it is available for use by the motor & motor controller to drive the car. The motor controller adjusts the amount of energy that flows to the motor to correspond to the throttle. The motor uses that energy to drive the wheels.
