156B Week 2

Overview of Status

• The design proposal presentation is completed. TR-19 had its first successful engine start, and a few more maintenance items need to be done before testing can commence.

Accomplishments from Previous Week

• The team met with Steve Roberts and the FSAE electrical team to receive feedback on circuit designs. Designs were modified based on the feedback and presented in class. 

Goals for Next Week

• Purchase fuel and spark circuit components and perform physical testing.

Sponsor Comments

• None

Instructor Comments

• It was suggested to use MOSFETs instead of relays in the fuel circuit, so this change was made to the design.

Student Comments

• None

Risks and Areas of Concern

• The performance of the two designed circuits is a current risk, but testing will occur during risk 3 to mitigate the issues.

Resources

• None

Schedule

• The next milestone is purchasing and performing physical risk reduction tests on the fuel and spark circuits.
