Less than 4 months to the start of the Electrek.co #FSGP2024 and #ASC2024! Let's look at some numbers... 7 - number of states the solar cars are traveling through (and the number of National Historic Trails being traveled) 10 - number of cities hosting start/stage/checkpoint/finish locations along the ASC route 11 - number of current sponsors (and counting!) 15 - days of events, including scrutineering, track event, display day, and road event (and 15 days to see the solar cars!) 24 - total racing hours for the Formula Sun Grand Prix 3-day endurance track event 42 - number of teams currently registered 1553 - miles covered by the American Solar Challenge base route; with the optional challenge loops, top teams will complete even more miles on solar power! And it all adds up to 1 incredible experience for the students, sponsors, and spectators! How will you be involved? #solarcar #solar #experientiallearning #designteam #competition #nationalhistorictrails #americansolarchallenge #formulasungrandprix

The Science Behind Golf Ball Dimples Ever wondered why golf balls have dimples? These tiny indentations play a crucial role in enhancing the ball's aerodynamics. By reducing drag and increasing lift, dimples help golf balls fly farther and more predictably. Watch this video to discover the science behind this ingenious design!

🚀 Ready, set, go! 🚀 Every Wednesday over the next few weeks, we'll be taking a look at the exciting disciplines at our events - today we start with Acceleration! 🏁💨 Just imagine it: A 75 metre track, glowing asphalt and the pressure building. Every millisecond counts in the dynamic discipline of acceleration. The aim is to cover the distance in as little time as possible - it's not just about top speed, it's about lightning-fast acceleration! When the starting signal sounds, it's time to put the pedal to the metal! The tyres dig into the asphalt and our racer shoots off with brute force. Pulse racing, the crowd cheering. Every moment counts. Stay tuned for more insights into our dynamic and static disciplines! 👀✨ #fstw #acceleration #racing #highspeed #racecar #formelstudent #insight #discipline

🚨Published paper🚨 Data from 117 World Marathon Majors shows that carbon #racingwheelchair frames are significantly faster compared to aluminum chairs and carbon-aluminum frames. https://lnkd.in/dVDQthpj Congrats to my colleagues Juan Manuel Alonso & Gabriel Brizuela! Compared to Alu and CA, Carb was significantly faster (249.18 ± 168.39 s or 4.07%; p = 0.001; Effect size = 0.89) and (388.60 ± 224.06 s or 6.34%; p = 0.0001; Effect size = 0.93). Due to the unaffordable price of Carbon frames, we advocate for consideration of strict regulations to be sanctioned by ParaAthletics #Marathon #RacingWheelchair #Athletics  #Technologicaldoping #Biomechanics #Science

We are currently taking the official Formula Student quizzes! These are quizzes that test engineering knowledge and know-how of the Formula Student rules. As there are limited spots available for the race, only the most high-performing teams are allowed to participate in the race. Each country has its own Formula Student quiz, meaning that these results determine in which countries Green Team Twente could possibly race this year🏎. #GreenTeamTwente #Hydrogen #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #Quiz

Vorteq are now using state-of-the-art R&D methods for the development of our products. Knowing the difference in drag between two setups is important and useful, but it's not full picture and doesn't tell you 'why' one thing has worked and something else hasn't. Answering the 'why' is how we're able to produce the world's fastest skinsuits for the very best athletes in the world 💡 #vorteqsports #aero #performancetech #engineeredsportinginnovation #ssehub
