Electric kit car project inspires Hull’s next generation of engineers

Students at a Hull sixth form college are equipping themselves with vitals skills for a career in engineering, thanks to Project Blyth, an innovative kit car initiative that is taking place in the Humber region.

A team of six students at Wilberforce Sixth Form College, in east Hull, have designed and built a single-seat IET Formula 24 + electric car, which will be raced around a circuit at Hull’s KCOM Stadium circuit on July 16th.

The makers of the Raspberry Pi computer have created a version of its graphical front end that can run on ordinary desktop computers.

The Pixel desktop has been re-worked so it runs on PCs and Apple Mac machines, said the Foundation.

People who use it on a Raspberry Pi and other machines will now get the same familiar software across both.

The Pi Foundation said the release also aided its plan to produce the "best" desktop computing experience.

Most popular

Raspberry Pi co-creator Eben Upton said the software should help schoolchildren who use the credit-card sized Pi in class or for their own projects but have to continue their work on PCs or Macs.

The Pi edition of Pixel and the version translated for bigger machines uses "exactly the same productivity software and programming tools, in exactly the same desktop environment", he wrote.

"There is no learning curve, and no need to tweak... schoolwork to run on two subtly different operating systems," he said.

In addition, he said, producing such a version of Pixel kept the Raspberry Pi foundation "honest" as it would help the organisation's coders work out what bits of the user interface needed work.

Mr Upton said that because the core software underlying Pixel was based on a relatively old computer architecture, it should run on "vintage" machines.

He warned that the software was still "experimental" so might have bugs or other "minor issues" that might mean it does not run well on some machines.

Pixel was first released in September this year and overhauled the main graphical interface owners see and use when working with their Pi. It is based on a version of the open source Linux software known as Debian.

The desktop version lacks two programs - Minecraft and Mathematica - because the Pi organisation has not licensed those applications on any machines other than its own.

In April last year, the Raspberry Pi officially became the most popular British computer ever made. More than 10 million have now been sold.

The computer was first released in 2012 and is widely used as an educational tool for programming.

Hi everyone,

Been a while since I've been on the forum but I've got some good data to show you today!

Before xmas some of the team did some tests on two Greenpower 12V batteries (connected in series as they would on the car) connected to a fixed resistance to see the performance of the batteries and to see how long the batteries would last.

We did 3 tests at different resistances (and therefore currents) and during the testing some of the team developed a little piece of hardware to log the voltage of the battery (which was very clever and gave some nice looking graphs).

I'll explain the results of the final test we did in a bit more detail (and try and keep the jargon to a minimum) as it was the most interesting. Teachers, feel free to expand on what I'm writing if you're explaining it to your pupils! In this test, the current varied but was usually around 24A.

At the beginning of the test (approx. 200-500s) you will see that the voltage drops before rising again. This is due to the material within the battery beginning to heat up as it starts producing current, and also because the test area where the batteries were stored and tested was quite cold (around 12oC).

After 500s, the battery acts as expected. At around 4250s (approx. 70s) the voltage begins to collapse and at this point your battery is flat and your car will begin to slow down.

The results of the first couple of tests didn't give very pretty graphs but the results were as follows;
Test 1
Current: Approx 50A
Time until voltage dropped away: approx. 23mins
Test 2
Current: Approx 29A
Time until voltage dropped away: approx. 51mins

The information gained is to be used it to decide whether to use 1 set or 2 sets of batteries in the 1.5 hour races, what power the motor can supply and what gear ratio we should be using so it's good data!
I hope this information is quite useful, how does it compare to any tests others have done?

Thanks,
Alisdair @ MIRA
