• Resumen

  • The article discusses the Buckeye Bullet team at Ohio State University Center for Automotive Research (CAR), a project to design and build an electric vehicle capable of reaching a speed of more than 400 miles per hour. The team uses computational fluid dynamics modeling to aid in the aerodynamic design of the vehicle. Other topics include the power generation requirements for the vehicle's electric motors, the iron nanophosphate lithium-ion battery, and safety concerns that the vehicle's rubber tires could disintegrate at high speeds.
