Chirping/clicking sound from Saab 9-3 and other vehicles' balancing chain
Is your car, especially one with an Ecotec engine, making this noise? Don't panic! It could simply be a plastic guide or tensioner for your balancing chain. To access this part for replacement I strongly recommend The Flying MechanicDIY (no relation)'s easy-to-follow video found here: th-cam.com/video/RcnIti2vPWk/w-d-xo.html

Diagnosing P0420 Code AKA finding exhaust leak in Chevy Cobalt (works for any car)
มุมมอง 8K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Some check engine codes, including the P0420, can mean you have a leaky exhaust. Check for leaks before you go swapping parts. Finding the leak is easy and free if you have a vacuum, tape, and soapy water! I show you how to do this.

    Great video Than you Hey I was wondering ,what if you have a po420 with a leak before the rear o2 and a higher temp at the upper weld ring than you do at the lower weld ring on your catalyst That's what I have going on. Would you still fix the leak first then check the temps again? Or is my Cat gone at this point?

    @calebsengineeringprojects6202 This video is fantasic. I want to know more about the controller aspect. Emrax motors seem to be paired with Bambocar D3, but I see they arent really available. Sevcon Gen4 Size 8 is in stock in various places. What about making a controller myself? Another question would be the battery for the build. I am choosing cells of 3.6v at 5000mah from Samsung. How do I build the battery to my specs (considering running at low volt config of 180v)? After all, the only way to calculate the kWh that I want the battery pack to have ,is to figure out how much power it will draw over the 2 hour span I want it to have. How would such a thing be calculated? Thank you so much!

      Hey man, amazing dream!!! I also went to community College before University. Honestly the small college profs are often better because they care about education more than research, so you'll have a solid foundation to stand on. Definitely make sure you go to a school with cool competitions/projects, whether it's SAE or otherwise. It's totally worth it, I'm rooting for you!!!

    Incredible video ! Concerning the EMRAX 228, you don't speak about the different converter of electrical energy that are needed, could you indicate what kind of component were used between the battery and the motor ? Thanks again

    • @calebsengineeringprojects6202
      @calebsengineeringprojects6202 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello @Tttt-mz5ly When I was in FSAE we split our powertrain team into two halves, electrical and mechanical. After working in industry I realize this is atypical, but I therefore don't remember what components the EE team chose. In the automotive industry, motors are AC not DC, so the only components (besides safety disconnects) are the HVPDU (high voltage power distribution unit) and the inverter which doubles as a motor controller by changing the AC frequency. In your case I'd assume you only need some kind of HV motor controller/voltage regulator, and if your output battery voltage is different from your motor input voltage, a DC/DC converter. An HVPDU is also necessary if you have multiple HV components (for example, multiple motors). To recommend specific components I'd just be googling what other teams have done, which you can do yourself and I'm sure you've already done since your question is 3 months old. I wish I could help more, and best of luck.

    My seals knowledge was underdeveloped when I recorded this. The rubber seals on the Drexler differential are more for keeping dust out of the needle bearings than anything. They especially do not "help keep the axle straight," that's the needle bearing's job. Contamination can impact the efficiency and longevity of any moving part, be aware of this when designing and use rubber boots over CV joints as well. Contamination includes both metal shavings in your shop and the debris of the road during testing.

  • @calebsengineeringprojects6202
    @calebsengineeringprojects6202 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Another update: Lots of motors have a built-in gearbox so they can directly connect to the axles while still achieving reduction. This is sometimes referred to as an Electronic Drive Unit, or EDU. EDUs sometimes integrate high-voltage components as well, like an inverter.

    Hello, out of curiosity why not use used OEM parts like a Nissan Leaf motor or Chevy Volt batteries? Is this explicitly banned by the rules?

    • @calebsengineeringprojects6202
      @calebsengineeringprojects6202 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Its been 3 years since I graduated so I do not remember the rules, but I think you'd run into weight or spaceclaim problems. Both of the vehicles you mentioned are much larger than an SAE racecar and 8X the weight since they have comfort, durability, & range in-mind. A motor built to last 10+ years and haul 4,000 lb will be much heavier than that in a 500-lb 1-season racecar. The Leaf's drive unit integrates several other HV components such as the onboard charger, DC-DC converter, inverter, etc. All together this gets quite tall, not sure if they're separable. I do not know whether you can buy Chevy Volt battery cells individually, but buying the entire battery would be larger than your entire car and almost weighs by itself what your car should weigh upon completion. This is because the heavy vehicle with longer range and onboard accessories (such as cabin heating) draws significantly more watts/hour than your vehicle should. But do the research, compare rules, weights, sizes, and specs, and let me know what you think! Personally I think using OEM electric motorcycle parts would be a closer fit if its legal and if they're powerful enough. And sourcing your battery so you don't have to build it yourself could save time.

    @calebsengineeringprojects6202 ปีที่แล้ว

    I found an error in the video! Due to tolerance stackup (which is a topic not covered that is worth Googling if you're unfamiliar), only one tooth of a sprocket takes most of the reaction force of the chain. You still use steel for driving, aluminum for driven, since you still have a long lever arm on the larger sprocket. The wheels will turn before the aluminum tooth yields.

    Hello guys, thanks for the great video. We are an FS team attempting to design our first EV. Could you please tell us if you used a table power supply for testing, instead of a battery pack?

    • @calebsengineeringprojects6202
      @calebsengineeringprojects6202 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi @evangelosbountioukos401, either approach should work in theory, though I definitely think a table power supply is ideal schedule-wise. Battery is the hardest part of the project, and you don't want testing to be held-up if battery falls behind schedule or requires maintenance.

  • @oddspaghetti4287
    @oddspaghetti4287 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey, thanks a lot for the video. At 29:00 there is a statement that appears incorrect to me. The force of the chain does not divide evenly amongst all of the teeth of a sprocket. You can see this for yourself by applying force to the chain and then wiggling the chain links in the middle of a sprocket. You will notice that they are loose. In fact only the first couple teeth take all of the force.

    • @calebsengineeringprojects6202
      @calebsengineeringprojects6202 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree with you, I'll be honest my knowledge on tolerance stackup was tragically limited when I made the video. With tolerances in mind I'd be surprised if any teeth besides the first one or two saw load. It would be interesting to do a study to see exactly how the load is distributed.

    Hi, I am Graeme John Eddington. Following is my TH-cam post of my Multi-speed transmission I have called: "Opposing Torque Dynamic Clutch" which is a type of Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) which I believe is ideal for your current applications. Australian Patent Number: 2020201132. Please log on to my TH-cam video: th-cam.com/video/SACDK89U7PM/w-d-xo.html In summary: It is a Compound Planetary System with two inputs from two separate electric motors. Motor 1 tries to rotate the carrier counter-clockwise and Motor 2 tries to rotate the carrier clockwise. The ratio, acceleration and speed of the vehicle is controlled by the amount and proportion of power/torque from the two motors. In addition the ratio of the transmission is affected by the speed and load of the vehicle. So, with the aid of speed sensors on all the components of the transmission, the speed of the vehicle, position of the accelerator and a kick-down switch - all that is needed to control the whole system is a computer. There is no actual gear selector for the driver to operate, however a manual mode would be appropriate where the driver has a 'balance' control knob that manually controls the proportion of power/torque to each motor and therefore can choose any ratio desired for the driving situation. An added enhancement could be added to the transmission by having a traditional planetary overdrive attached to each of the motors to enhance the rev range of each motor. This would enable the provision of extra modes like economy mode/sports mode and improve the kick-down mode by inputting more revs when the gearbox is in an extremely low ratio during kick-down operation. Having this type of transmission would improve acceleration and range of the vehicle allowing for a smaller battery pack/lighter weight leading to cost savings and simpler manufacturing.
