Plan and sketch a potential final project
I want to build a vehicle that will be manufactured mostly in wood. It will use a DC electric motor. In addition, through a visualizer, could see data such as vehicle speed. I will use this vehicle to move inside the university in a funny way.
As a first idea it occurred to me to manufacture an electric go-kart made entirely of wood
to be able to mobilize myself in the university. I got the idea after watching the video of a
wooden go kart from the company The Flatworks.
In the picture, numbers refers to: (1) Accelerator/Brake, (1') Battery Unit, (2) Control Unit,
(3) Two DC motors, (4) Steering wheel with display.
My first idea was complicated by the issue of wanting to control two induction motors.
To have a functional first prototype I will choose a three-wheel design, with a DC motor
that drives the rear wheel, so that propels the vehicle. The design will be made of wood, except for the
axes that hold the wheels and the chain drive.
