2.5.2010 Deja vu

There hasn't been any testing of the vehicle because outside there is 1,5 meters of snow and herds of polar bears are running free on the streets... (T-minus 6 hours @ 5 am)

8.3.2010 Dynosaur and hubs

It occurred to us that Remmi 6c's engine having no extra battery is not competent at running. Some time we had reviewed vehicle's electrical schematics and proved them to differ quite a lot from reality. After trial and error, we got our old engine working again after a year. The old engine is used in tuning our dynamometer we had just got working tolerable, yet still being in proto stage. In Tampere College's workshop college students turned a fine roller the dyno needed. Major issue is to deal with emerging vibrations which affect a lot to data measured.

New front wheel hubs have been designed to embody angular contact ball bearings and disk brakes. The powertrain of Remmi 7 is redesigned to be quite distinct.

Remmi 7 has been tore down to it's smallest pieces. We've measured the weight of all parts the vehicle had and commenced looking for ways to reduce theirs mass.

Remmi 7b, the evolution version of Remmi 7, is made for the Eco-marathon 2010. The engine will have a new control unit and the evolution version will turn to it's lightweight chassis. We aim at making World's lightest 'Tippahimmeli'.

A brakedyno is redesigned and made in few months. An inertialdyno is also designed.
