Competition Objective

To challenge teams of university students to conceive,
design, fabricate, develop, and compete with small,
formula-style hybrid-powered cars.

The formula hybrid competition is intended as an
educational program requiring students to work across
disciplinary boundaries.

To allow teams to freely express design, engineering,
and imagination.

Teams are allowed eight to twelve month to design,
build, and test for the competition.

Team Goal

Register for competition before slots fill.

Successfully implement switchable hybrid drive.

Finished curb weight not to accede 650 pounds.

Successfully implement data logging system.

Complete unrestricted 75 meter (246 feet) acceleration
run in 5.4 seconds or less.

Complete the final assembly by April 1.

What is a Hybrid?
Parallel Hybrid System Layout
Energy flows in 2 parallel
paths from reservoirs to the
wheels.
Series Hybrid System Layout
Energy flows in one path from
reservoir, through all
components, and finally to
the wheels.
4
Design Outlook
Both Parallel and Series configuration have different
advantages and disadvantages. This is why we plan to
implement a design that has the ability to switch between
the two. In theory, this should achieve the best of both
worlds.

Aerodynamic Devices
Back Wing
Front Wing
Diffuser

All of these device are used to increase the downforce on the
vehicle by manipulating the air flow.

Conceptual Design of Body
(1) McMaster University
(2) University of Idaho
(3) Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

These are the top three teams who scored the highest in the
design category.

Expectation for our project is for it to be unique and
marketable.
