Design and Manufacture of Go kart

Designed, Manufactured and Assembled a Go kart from scratch in the sophomore year whilst captaining the team of 25 members. I was directly responsible for the design of the chassis and the transmission elements.

We had used a Centrifugal Clutch as the engine provided to us was low power and found a centrifugal clutch to be the lightest transmission element to produce the required torque. This was coupled with a 2.5:1 chain drive to cause the final reduction in gear.

We had used 4 bar ackermann steering mechanism and hydraulic disc brakes as our brake mechanism.

We were the National Champions in the National Kart Racing Championship conducted by ISIE india in 2016.
