Students of the TU Delft have a speed record in getting booked with a hydrogen car. The car that only water emissions, and laid a track of about 200 metres in 10.5 seconds. The action was intended to provide sustainable energy to promote.
The time of 10.5 seconds was a second faster than the old record from 2008, reports the university on its own website. The record attempt was done by the Forze IV, the fourth car from the Forze series of hydrogen cars from the TU Delft. The car is powered by a 12kW-hydrogen fuel cell, which, in turn, two electric motors drives.
The car, which is only water emissions, from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour speed in five seconds. On a tank team about an hour of racing. The regular autotank of 28 liters is in a private petrol station, filled under a pressure up to 350 bar. A fully filled tank contains about 600 grams of hydrogen.
TU Delft has to have all the systems to send your own pcb’s made which are provided by NXP supplied microcontrollers the Cortex M0 and M3-series. If your operating system is Segger embOS on one of the chips geflasht, and the conscious sign is programmed for a specific task.
The attempt in The Hague was a publicity stunt to sustainable energy under the spotlight. The action is supported by minister Verhagen of Economic Affairs, that the students on the job afvlagde. “It’s not just about clean air and quieter roads. It is also good for the competitiveness of our companies and for the international image of our country.”
