Jurassic Park AEV System Advanced Energy Vehicle Engineered

Jurassic Park AEV System (Advanced Energy Vehicle) Engineered by: Team 4 Ryan Greve Alex Teffenhardt William Metzger Drew Netts

Mission Concept Review Team 4 was tasked with creating an AEV that is energy efficient, green, and cost efficient passenger transport system attached to a monorail. This was completed through long hours of ideas and criticism, which helped solve design issues, code programming, and record keeping. The team developed critical thinking, planning, and problem solving skills to solve this dilemma. The AEV constructed follows energy management, operational efficiency and operational consistency defined in the MCR.

The Collaborative Process Panera, Google Hangouts, Group Messaging, Google Docs. First: The Design There are 2 motors that rotate, a small amount of mass, and plenty of clearance for the arduino board. The sleek body allows for all parts to be properly mounted and distributed for a balanced center of mass. The body is also aerodynamically sound. Second: The Code Needed to run the motors at lowest power with greatest efficiency, as well as stop in the appropriate gates for 7 seconds, while making an overall run time of less than 2. 5 minutes Third: The Paperwork Every Executive Summary, Memo, Lab Report needed turned in well written and on time. The final Project Notebook relied on excellent data gathering.

Energy and Efficiency Propeller blades are more efficient one way compared to the opposite direction. What is the answer? Never change direction of the propeller! Servos allow for a rotation of the motors in such a manner that the propellers do not have to deal with the backwards resistance, thus removing a large dampener of the AEV’s efficiency.

AEV final design The AEV’s strength allows it to not only carry tourists from place to place, but also allow for a caboose to be pulled without compromising the machine and its reliability.

Design in Motion - Servos

Problems in Development Servo attachment -A y-cord adaptor allowed for both servos to be connected through the arduino micro-controller. -Servo rotation solved by flipping one servo upside down. This allowed for servo rotation to face similar directions. Scaling and Attachment -The team had to engineer the parts so that they could be easily attached and disassembled appropriately. These parts add protection and

Closing With efficiency, innovation and engineering, The WARD completes its run in a timely manner. With a compact design and easy maintenance, the AEV’s autonomous nature will allow for an enhanced tour and efficient means of travel for guests and dinosaurs alike.
