Thermal Imaging Helps to Build High-Performance Electrical Racing Car

摘要

Every year, engineering students from around the world are challenged to design and build a single-seat racing car in order to demonstrate their knowledge and talent. In a worldwide competition, called Formula Student, this racing car is then put to the test in static and dynamic events, which test the performance of the vehicle. Mechanical engineering never gets more exciting than this. The Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands (TU Delft) has been participating in the Formula Student competition since 2001. Again in 2014, TU Delft's DUT Racing team is aiming at designing the most efficient and high-performance electrical racing car, this time with the help of thermal imaging cameras.
