Students from Ohio are trying to disperse the electric VBB-3 to 643, 75 km / h

Students from Ohio State University have worked together with manufacturers of electric Venturi, to create the fastest electric car in the world. They broke up The Venturi Buckeye Bullet-3 (VBB-3) on the Bonneville salt lake to 482 kilometers per hour in 2015, and plan to set up a record in the 643, 75 km / h in 2016.
Car The Venturi Buckeye Bullet-3 equipped with two electric motors, each with capacity of 1500 hp (1119 kW). The energy obtained from the eight engines of large lithium-ion batteries, which have been previously installed on the Dallara IR03 IndyCar.

One of the two engines capacity of 1500 horsepower
Stand for engine testing
For each of the axes corresponds to your motor. The team continues to develop the students' power unit, particularly the controller, inverter, to achieve capacity of 3,000 horsepower.
The head of David Cook says the team that technology to build motors missing. An important source of power and cooling systems. Cooling system in VBB-3 close to closed. The tank is filled with water ice, the oil passes through the motors, and to a stop motors and inverters are cooled to about zero Celsius. Only 60 seconds needed to keep the temperature rose to needed to start.
Two-speed gearbox have been specially made in the UK by Hewland. To use the braking composite disc brakes on the Embraer-145 and a parachute.
EVs helps slow down the chute
The body of carbon fiber has also been difficult to do, because the length of the parts was twelve meters. We had great equipment. The body added the extra five hundred thousand - million dollars to the budget.
In 2015, at the Salt Lake Bonneville pilot Roger Schauer was dispersed to 463 kilometers per hour, and later - up to 482 kilometers per hour. Even after a race that crimson coolant flowed to the ground: the bursting of the refrigerant tank.

It is said that the speed record for the first time above 100 km / h showed an electric «La Jamais Contente», which sat behind the wheel of the Belgian Camille Zhenattsi. Engine power was 40 hp.

Another project from the students - they won the 2014 prize in the competition EcoCAR, making a hybrid car Chevrolet Malibu
Under the hood of Malibu - the engine from Honda in place of GM's
With two-wheeled vehicles, students are also working
