The HPVC propulsion team has been established in order to create a drive train that is different from a typical bicycle drive. It has become apparent that the dominant drive system for the HPVC vehicles in past years has become a simple bicycle chain drive. This design is effective, and readily available, but it is uninspired, and can be replaced with a more effective drive, which this team has been tasked with developing.
The client has explicitly stated that the drive should be powered by a compound movement that will be more productive than a bicycle drive. The team goal is to not only achieve a system that is more effective than a drive powered solely by the legs, but one that can store excess energy as well while being comfortable for the driver and causing minimal fatigue. In doing this the system will be as lossless as possible, and far out-drive competitors.
Lets get in touch and talk about your next project.
