Executive summary:
Main reducing elements:
Engine downgrading fuel,weight to 1/3 while keeping his power(if you drive 700 miles per fuel tank now you can drive 2100 miles.Crazy?proof below-in Europe created one.
Vehicle equipment-740 pounds just the equipment?Weight cut by half with exceeding their current characteristics
This car is mostly using equipment reduction and powertrain reduction,and if aerogels specification and faster production methods will be more discovered than we can think of replacing some body car parts too.This engine and equipment replacement can by added to current cars which are on roads now with keeping and exceeding their current safety standards
Powertrain reduction make on overall weight of car 15% car weight.I propose to cut this weight to 1/3 (defense below)which is powertrain savings 100 to 200 pounds,no cooler 20 pounds, no ventilator 10 pounds,no exhaust 30 pounds,lower fuel tank 50 pounds,no catalyst (together over 200 pounds saved)while still keeping good engine power and low fuel consuption.While smaller engine in front of car then impact force is downgraded in crash while car is lighter.
Vehicle equipment makes 20% of car weight which is up to 740 pounds on average car (seats,cables,dashboard,radio,passengers entertainment,plastics etc) Im proposing to have some futures in car which will reduce weight and still keep and exceed passengers comfort.
Today's automobiles have more than 260 pounds of plastic on board, according to the Transportation Energy Data Book. Today’s plastics make up 10 percent of the weight, which helps make cars lighter and more fuel efficient, resulting in fewer CO2 emissions.Tough, modern plastics also help improve passenger safety and auto designers rely on the versatility of plastics when designing today’s cool cars,if we exchange that plastics for aerogel we can have savings to 250 pounds,depence of car manufacturer.
Seats filled with aerogel(savings of 10 pounds), aerogel exchanged instead plastics in car saving ,copper cables exchanging to carbon cables savings 30 to 60 pounds,radio integrated in virtual screen as a stream (5 pounds),virtual screen replacing some dashboard weight (50 pounds), all together min.100 pounds weight savings,with plastic replacement 350 pounds saved without compromising anything.
Today we can print by additive manufacturing aerogels (defense below) which are stiff,ultra lightweight and can be made from different materials,for example graphen.Currently its new but have promised future.I would suggest to do more research and faster manufacturing methods on this material,while may replace steel,and others heavy parts in car if some crashtests will be done on this material.
Safety: While cars are getting lighter,aerodynamic question is on the table to keep car on the road by high speeds,I propose to have rear wing from electroactive polymer which will add some weight but it will keep car on the road and computer will compute certain weight of car,people in car,luggage weight,frontal and sider wind etc,to have correct rear wing on time correction.(this is brand new idea-created be me so no one can proove it it will work neither me, but it make sense and may be developed)
Manufacturing and defence of materials used:
1. 3D printed aerogels
Weight reduction: Ghostly and ethereal, they can easily withstand the heat of a blowtorch and the weight of a car. The actual matrix of an aerogel can be made of any number of substances, including silica, metal oxides, and, yes, also grapheme. Its structure also makes it incredibly strong. It can even support the weight a material so light it's called 'frozen smoke' -- but with 10,000 times more stiffness. as well as other applications where lightweight, high-stiffness and high-strength materials are needed. These lightweight materials can withstand a load of at least 160,000 times their own weight.Very good for seats fill and plastic exchange, body,crash tests did noone tryed on this material,depence the results it can be used to other car parts etc.
3D printing production: Additive micro-manufacturing process involves using a micro-mirror display chip to create high-fidelity 3D parts one layer at a time from photosensitive feedstock materials. It allows to rapidly generate materials with complex 3D micro-scale geometries that are otherwise challenging or in some cases, impossible to fabricate, with this technique is possible to build aerogels out of polymers, metals and ceramics.
2.CD’s, computers harddisc’s in cars replacement
Weight reduction-even tinier,durables and longstanding computers data storages(no plenty of CD’s and MP3’s when you want to listen something in car(imagine car jukebox)
3. RTU engine-almost as pseudo-adiabatic engine -1,6 liter/800 horse power
Weight reduction: no water cooling system,no catalyst,no or little lubbrication (instead 5 liters of oil,oil accesories,oil tank),reducing engine power at 1/10th is 1/10 of size and weight of engine reducment without compromising performance,lower emisions,spending fuel at half,this engine starts at frost,no overheating in deserts ,test was made 4 days nonstop running without overheating), up to 70% greater engine efficiency); less pollution (dramatically exceeding current emissions standards(one tenth); and lower overall operating costs—all while actually increasing engine power & performance (in both gasoline & diesel engines).
How it works: Instead heat pressure- it has a completely new intake and exhaust system, direct injection as the injection into the feeding disorders, special pistons and piston rings, and seeks to give the so-called adiabatic combustion. It is a working circuit in which there is no heat exchange between the gas in our case, lit by the expanding mixture and surrounding areas, thus itself sapľovacím space. Thus, the energy converted into the expanding mixture of the engine to the work (pressure energy) and not to heat.In order to achieve this, the engine operates with extremely poor clumpy mixture (Lambda 1.2 - about 20 percent more air) and the turbo really extreme compression ratio (14.0: 1). The "cold process" begins when the slide, wherein the motor uses a turbocharger not so much in order to get of the combustion chamber as much as possible the air under high pressure, but as a compressor cooling system based on the venturi. The carriage was so incoming air cooled down to -20 ° C. Basically, a suction effect occurs soda bombs, which introduced into the bottle quenched. As the mixture is significantly colder than the surroundings and is very low in fuel engine capable despite the high compression ratio resist unwanted detonation combustion. Thus undesired autoignition arising critical heating the compressed mixture even before the spark. For this reason, does not live in conventional gasoline engines the compression ratio greater than 11: 1 (excluding only the engine Mazda SKYACTIV-G).As to ignite the mixture comes in a very small space and with strong turbulence mixture is burning itself so fast that the chemical reaction, colloquially speaking, does not manage to escape the heat. Thus, most of the energy is converted into pressure energy push against the piston. The exhaust escapes just as much heat as needed to work turbocharger. Exhaust gas temperature is only about 400 ° C. The current engine is approximately 1500th "It's incredible, but at runtime engine can touch the turbocharger without the risk of burns. On the slide even creates frost, "says Kvetňanský.Performance without emissions-The engine thus practically does not need cooling system. Coolant, while there is but not for cooling and removal of excess heat, but only for maintaining the temperature even throughout the block. Heat at only about 13 ° C, whereas in conventional engines it is 90 degrees
This engine does not need even a catalyst. It is not a "bluff". In "cold expansion" there is a reaction wherein the mixture is burned to CO2 and pure water. The molecules of carbon and hydrogen, the final easily combined with oxygen. That the temperature further grow, get the chance to further reactions that result in the current generation of heat engines again and harmful emissions.The result? Mean effective pressure of the engine is up to 46.1 bar, which is more than twice the original unit Audi 2.5 TFSI. That correspond to the miraculous parameters. To test engine brake measured engine power 598 kW (814 hp) and 1,000 Nm of torque. This is the increase of performance of 320 and torque of 260 percent. On top of that engine had practically immeasurable emissions.Incredible efficiency is not only performance, but also significantly lower power consumption. The authors of the project argue that if this engine, or built for sporting purposes, interfaced to a conventional car, consumed by the 100 km only about five liters of petrol. It is easy to imagine what would have been lower consumption, if it was a version with an output corresponding to the needs of mass-produced cars. For example, 100 kW.
Safety-when engine is reduced with weight at half,the car is not so heavy then force from overall weight of car have impact on overall crashworthiness, it will be re reduced then
