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.
