Testing
The Cornell 100+ MPG Team has been testing and evaluating different component technologies and systems that may be used for the team's final submission to the Progressive Insurance Automotive X Prize Competition. They have been using a 1991 Geo Metro as a test bed to evaluate the efficiency and feasibility of components including drivetrains, battery packs, electrical generators, and regenerative braking schemes.
In addition, the team's aerodynamics and design specialists have been creating and testing conceptual design schemes both in computer simulation software and in real-world wind tunnels. They will arrive at a final design, which will take the form of a feasibly-marketable vehicle that can be brought to market in the near-term.

Famous quotes containing the word testing:
“Bourbon’s the only drink. You can take all that champagne stuff and pour it down the English Channel. Well, why wait 80 years before you can drink the stuff? Great vineyards, huge barrels aging forever, poor little old monks running around testing it, just so some woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma can say it tickles her nose.”
—John Michael Hayes (b.1919)
“No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 10:13.
“Traditional scientific method has always been at the very best 20-20 hindsight. It’s good for seeing where you’ve been. It’s good for testing the truth of what you think you know, but it can’t tell you where you ought to go.”
—Robert M. Pirsig (b. 1928)
