Low Voltage and High Voltage supply
This extremely compact DCDC converter provided by our partner Elipse N.V. (@elipse_power_supply_specialist) delivers the power to our low voltage and safety systems. Its compact size means it can easily fit inside our high voltage battery, eliminating the need for an additional low voltage battery.🏎🔋🇧🇪

Thank you @umicoregroup for seven years of amazing support and trust in our team!

With their @powered_by_umicore programme, we were pushed to become a more innovative and more competitive team. But most of all, they taught us the importance of a well functioning team with people that are passionate about achieving things that have never been done before.

We also want to wish @solarboatuantwerp smooth seas and we wish to keep racing next to @emotorsportscologne on the formula student competitions all over europe! 🏎🔋🇧🇪

This week we would like to thank Cloostermans! With the help of Cloostermans we were able to produce most of the parts of our inwheel. Going from the casing of our motors to the hubs. This year they also helped us with the milling of our 3D printed aluminium uprights! In brief, they meant a lot to the making of Umicore Aurora for which we want to thank them again. 🏎🔋🇧🇪

We would like to thank @3dsystems . 3D Systems produced the uprights & cooling jackets. The aluminium uprights are additively manufuctured. This production method gives us more design freedom as it imposes less constraints during the shape optimization resulting in a lighter and stiffer design! 3D Systems also printed the cooling jackets for our motors. Through these cooling jackets we can improve the efficiency of our cooling because the design maximizes the heat transfer while minimizing weight and required power of the pump. 🏎🔋🇧🇪

Thanks to the Rod ends of IBS Rotterdam we can give our suspension the strength and movement required to push our car to its limits.🏎🔋🇧🇪

This week, we would like to thank TraxRacing for sponsoring our brake and suspension lines as well as the needed connectors. This year we swapped our mechanical anti-roll bar for an hydraulic ‘anti-roll bar’ which works together with our semi-active suspension. Using this kinetic system we are able to control our roll and pitch motions without compromising the warp motion of the vehicle. 🏎🔋🇧🇪

Finishing touches on our monocoque.

It’s a pity the formula student competitions are cancelled but that does not take away our motivation to continue building our best ever car for next year’s competitions. Even on these hot days, our team members are working hard to finish Aurora as soon as possible. Right now, our monocoque is almost complete so we can start adding our subassemblies like the suspension, drivetrain, battery, steering,…

Happy Belgian national day! 🇧🇪 We are always honoured to represent our country in the formula student competitions all over Europe. 🏎🔋🇧🇪

With all of our exams finished we have the time to pick up our production again.

We were able to finish half of our monocoque right before the lockdown started. Starting today we are able to finish it at Sonaca.

We will be working through the entire summer to finish the production of Aurora as far as possible before the new team starts.

This year we got the opportunity to work with iner

This year we got the opportunity to work with inertial measurement units from SBG systems. We are very excited for this, but what does an inertial measurement unit, or IMU for short do?
The IMU's from SBG systems measure everything that influences the heading of the car:

Accelerations

rate of turn

roll, pitch, yaw

Speed

GPS position

In the picture you can see 2 different inertial measurement units. The big one will go on the driverless car and is used in our driverless algorithm for the localization of our vehicle. We also need these inputs in our path planning algorithm, to know how we need to change the steering and throttle of the car.
The small one is used in Umicore Aurora. It gives the required inputs for our semi-active suspension system and our torque vectoring system.

Thanks to @fraipontsmetaalbewerking we can now assemble the brake and gas pedal for Aurora. These pedals will not only give us the power to accelerate and brake, but are also as light as possible.

After two and a half months of exclusively working

After two and a half months of exclusively working from home, we can finally start working in our workshop again! Of course, we will still keep practicing social distancing while continuing our work. First task: making the workplace social distance proof! 🍃🏎️🇧🇪

These are two moulds made by Proven Concepts. Do you know for which part they will be used?

Exactly, for the front wing. The upper one is for the underside of the wing, and vise versa.
We can’t wait to get back in the workplace and finish our new front wing! 🏎️🍃🇧🇪

Right now it is only half finished, because we had to halt our work due to the quarantine #blijfinuwkot. But without our partner Sonaca we wouldn’t be able to build our carbon fiber monocoque at all. We thank you very much for the use of your autoclave and for your extensive composite know-how!

Throwback to pre-corona times! Thanks to the personal protective equipment of 3M we were able to produce the negative moulds of our monocoque in a safe and healthy way. Luckily 3M sponsored enough FFP3-masks and safety glasses so we had a small stock left which we could donate to the people who need it most right now. #healthworkers #staysafe #3M

Not only is it Easter, it's also #SponsorSunday, this time we would like to thank @printixmechelen

Thanks to Printix we are not only recognizable on the racetrack with our vivid car wrap. We’re also recognizable on the highway with our new high-quality trailer-banners!

Om het mechanisch design van onze compacte in-wheel motoren te realiseren, hebben we een aantal precisieonderdelen nodig. Dit is het eerste jaar dat we het ontwerp zelf voorzien. Voor deze nieuwe uitdaging konden we rekenen op een nieuwe partner, Polmans SA, om de onderdelen met de vereiste precisie en kwaliteit te produceren. Bedankt voor het fantastische werk!

To realize the mechanical design of our compact in-wheel motors, we need several precision parts. This is the first year we take care of the design ourselves. For this new challenge, we could count on a new partner, Polmans SA, to produce the parts with the necessary precision and quality. Thanks for the great work!
