Racing Green Endurance: An EV Record will focus on what a small team of ambitious and talented engineers can do when they have a dream! Back in 2009, a team of graduates from Imperial College London came together to do something radical to change the public perception of electric vehicles forever. They came up with the idea to design and build the world's longest range electric car, and then drive it down the longest and toughest road in the world; the 26,000km Pan-American Highway! Racing Green Endurance: An EV Record will share the story from start to finish, and will also focus on the technology used to achieve such a feat, with particular mention of the electric motors. Presenter Alexander Schey, Imperial College London

An analytical tool which predicts the dynamic behavior of automobile engine cranking systems has been developed to reduce the amount of testing typically required during the starter system development process. A general dynamic model of a complete cranking system with all its components and principal operational modes was developed. The model was used to simulate the dynamic performance of an automotive engine starting system. Typical starter system performance characteristics are shown.
