Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've been really enjoying the challenge of trying to make the calculations engaging and ensuring the videos are worth your time.
What an amazing video! There is so much content here that has been explained in such a clear way that it almost makes it look easy. I'm making my way through an Automotive Engineering degree that is hellbent on proving me otherwise, it's amazing to see everything laid out so well for everyone to watch! Really looking forward to seeing this channel and car grow, keep up the great work
Thanks for your kind words, hope the video and channel provide both interest and information. I hope you are enjoying your degree. I've never really tired of learning new things about cars, and vehicle dynamics is such a deep area that a lifetime isn't enough to run out of learning opportunities.
@@KevinHayward7My degree is great all things considered, and I'm heavily involved in my uni's FSAE team which gets me a great deal of practical experience too. I share your sentiment about the never-ending interest regarding cars and VD especially, wouldn't have it any other way
I am really enjoying your analytical approach here. I did a more limited version of this on my own project car (moto hybrid Nissan Leaf) to help choose sprocket ratios, but want to go back and redo it to understand where i should focus future efforts (more EV power, more ICE power, lower weight, etc). What was the tire traction coefficient you used as a starting point? Doing a full bespoke build is a future goal of mine, so I'm loving this series -- thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your kind words. Ended up with a coefficient of friction of 0.85. I had started with 0.9 but modified it to match some acceleration test results from an Elise that I found online. Can be very different depending on tyre and the surface, but overall aiming not to use a very grippy tire for the project.
Wonderful video! You put so much work into this.
