none. electric cars need weight to have traction and go fast. by the time they make enough aero mods to give it the downforce needed to balance all the weight they got out of it, the car will need the exact same hp to move as it did before. hence this project is total bullshit, a waste of money, time and reseources that could've went towards other builds on the channel that would've brought actual new audience and increased their money flow.

What I think you ment to say is drag. Also, you realise that the lighter a car is, the less traction it needs to have the same acceleration right?

When you fabricate a more permanent solution, I really think you should consider adding a long tail. The hatchback like drop-off at the back is hurting your drag compared to the base vehicle. With a long tail, I think you could get the drag lower than stock.

@Jazz3006 Жыл бұрын

This x10. By adding the longer tail and smoothing out the transition you are going to remove the sudden low pressure zone behind the car. That will significantly decrease the pressure gradient across the car and reduce drag as a whole. After all, drag is basically the sum of your pressure gradient times the frontal area.

I was just at that wind tunnel testing a race car last week!!! I learned a lot about undertrays/splitters/canards. Pro tip to maximize your time there (if not filming YT), wait till you leave to analyze your data as tunnel time is expensive, also add everything to the car before you get there and remove it as you test, its easier and faster to remove stuff than to add it.

@kachler67 11 ай бұрын

What really helps is a long tail version at the rear with shallow angles, just like the top of a raindrop. The reason behind this the same as with the windshield, you got a low pressure zone behind every wall and the airstream is sucked in by it, creating vortexes and turbulences which cost energy and the car is pulled back by the the low pressure. So just avoid „walls“ and smooth out these transition zones between high and low pressure. This design is used in some highspeed cars as well like the McLaren Speedtail for instance

Lexan is basically clear polycarbonate plastic. Great idea for looks! I love it! As for breaking the record, I think I think the cardboard is actually very underestimated here, this is still very stiff material for its weight! not very weatherproof or resilient but still lightweight and relatively stiff as a diy handmade wind cover. Carboard is mass produced and optimized for strength/weight ratio by using spacing between the outer layers - that's a neat trick to do a sandwich like structure you do in composites for boosting stiffness without adding a lot of mass.

Something to consider with the flow testing here is the stationary wheel/tyres as opposed to rotating wheels/tires and rotor cooling air expulsion. Flow can be affected by induced turbulence caused by tire wake/tire vortices/tyre squish and this can induce unwanted turbulence or disrupt flow upstream to other aerodynamic 'devices' or forms. For those interested, having used a (crude yet effective) small tunnel with 1/8 scale forms with a similar load measurement set up and wanting to investigate the associated tire rotation turbulence, the scale form had electric motors fitted to each wheel for rotation and the wheels were set on support structures similar to a 'go-jack'/wheel dollies with rotating rollers to allow tire rotation and still allow an amout of load measurement . A raised 'false' foor was also constructed in the tunnel to reduce any interference from the wheel support structures affecting the results. Edited for tunnel experiment notation.
