Formula HybridMembership Entry Examination Supplementary: Formula Hybrid SAE Rule Book By: Khieu Hoang CalPoly Pomona, Mechanical Engineer
General Clubs Briefing ● What does FHSAE stand for? - Formula Hybrid Society of Automotive Engineers ● Member Restrictions - No restrictions to any major, ANYONE can join - 2.20 Minimum GPA overall/core ● Member Dues - $20 per quarter ● Workshop - The AV (alternative Vehicle) lab is not a play ground - All machine are off limit without an advisor present
Formula Hybrid Rules ● Vehicle Design Objectives - Design and build a Hybrid prototype within a $32,000 budget ● Competition Events - Dynamics and Static - Score on a basis of 1000 pts total ● Competition Requirements - To participate in the competition in May, member must be a register member of one of the following : (1)SAE, (2) SAE Australasia, (3) SAE Brasil, (4) ATA, (5) IMechE or (6) IEEE.
- A vehicle must demonstrate evidence of substantial development (mechanical and/or electrical) since the last time the vehicle was entered. - Car can compete as an all hybrid for 1 yr provided proof of hybrid in progress - Member must be at least 18 yr of age - Universities may enter up to 2 vehicles per competition. ● Vehicle Requirements and Restrictions - Faculty Advisors may not design, build or repair any part of the car - Minimum of 50% of all braking energy must come from hydraulic mechanism. - Braking system must have an over travel device to override vehicle power system in the case the brake system fails
