Ok..Lets get started! You might be wondering how is the process of the Nitrates for the Nationals! The power of four are actually facing our final exams now and it's really challenging for us especially the time management. Oh yea! Our graphic designer and manufacturing engineer just got back from Japan. They stucked there for one whole week and just think, how to proceed without them? Of course, we got no choice just to wait and maybe help them in their part.<br /><br />22/10/2008<br />Three of us, Kell Jim, Kin Yoong and Joel went up to K.L for the wheels and Kin Mun did his design at home. Poor thing. Teacher drove us there. Thanks to teacher! We went to manufacture the wheels and air brush our new car! Went there about 3.30 p.m after our tough and challenging Physics paper. Of course, what you can hear in the car was "Die la, I fail my Physics. Haizzz, how? I don't want to stay in P class! I want to enter H (1st class)". Teacher still drives very fast and so we reached there about 5.00 p.m. .<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Jim dealing with the car.</span><br /></em><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261129571653596210" style="DISPLAY: block;

With a blazing speed of <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>1.103s</strong></span> and the third fastest car on the track. So, i would now like to thank all our generous sponsors funding us and our loyal supporters out there that always give us the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">confidence</span> to move on no matter how though the going is. As they say the going gets though, the though gets going.Now the Nitrates have been give the opportunity of representing the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">southern</span> region at the NATIONALS F1 IN SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIP.<br /><br />This stage will be on a whole new level, where the best of the best meet. This is the leg where sparks will fly, history created and records broken. Nothing but the best from each team will be expected. Thus, an even bigger budget is needed to get us through this heated leg of the race. Therefore, we require funds to carry out what we are doing and strive harder for the best.<br /><br />ONLY <span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>ONE GOAL</strong></span> HERE : LONDON( to represent Malaysia to the world championships in London)<br /><br />Cheers*The Nitrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07235998603313405185noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960022340437470015.post-66859161199187599052008-08-17T03:23:00.000-07:002008-08-17T03:41:40.126-07:00Psst... here's a sneak peek at our new mascot!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis2LSsi2qOYJ_dhnrvRllyvdF2m7-wWAVe9PTEMhxTD3DePbtktji5N4FDqxUELdTl7WS9QyzSh5rC49vCkggiMW1O4ip2YAwlWqLw8wjuJvFVyAjG9XXktaI_s0OU09dOx6Iau7QYA3RU/s1600-h/mascot-F1.bmp"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis2LSsi2qOYJ_dhnrvRllyvdF2m7-wWAVe9PTEMhxTD3DePbtktji5N4FDqxUELdTl7WS9QyzSh5rC49vCkggiMW1O4ip2YAwlWqLw8wjuJvFVyAjG9XXktaI_s0OU09dOx6Iau7QYA3RU/s400/mascot-F1.bmp" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5235434077336501570" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >stay tune for more updates!</span></span><br /></div>The Nitrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07235998603313405185noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960022340437470015.post-31370732849348063672008-08-07T08:21:00.000-07:002008-10-02T22:09:20.622-07:00BERNOULLI'S PRINCIPLEDaniel Bernoulli, discovered that <span style="COLOR: rgb(153,255,153)">as the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases</span>.<br /><div><strong></strong></div><div><strong>How and why does this work, and what does it have to do with the Speed of the car?</strong></div><br /><div>A venturi tube is simply a tube which is narrower in the middle than it is at the ends.

Finally, Jim gave a marvellous presentation in the helpless situation. He can't do anything but speak. "What is F1 In schools? What we need? What is the drag of the car? ......." Kudos to Kell Jim! Picture this: We went there unprepared without any presentation whatsoever and they ( the professors), were all set ready to fire tons of firepower worth of questions. So dead were we.

By using a virtual wind tunnel.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ccccff;"><strong>What is a virtual wind tunnel?</strong></span><br />Simulating Race Car Design with Computational Fluid Dynamics<br />CFD is a computer-based technology that studies the dynamics of all things that flow.In Formula 1 racing, CFD involves building a computer-simulated model of a race carand then applying the laws of physics to the virtual prototype to predict what the downforce or drag may be on various components of the car or how the car willrespond in various wind conditions, changing environmental conditions or on differentroad surfaces.<br />Aerodynamicists can use CFD to better visualize and enhance their understanding ofhow various designs will perform. It also allows them to experiment with more designvariables in a shorter amount of time until they arrive at optimal results.<br />CFD allows engineers to use computer software to divide components of a race carinto specific cells or grids. For each of those cells, supercomputers are then used tocalculate mathematical equations that compute the velocity and air pressure of thewind as it rushes over, under and around the specified components of the race car.Aerodynamicists can use the resulting data to compute the downforce, drag andbalance the race car will experience, depending on different environmental and roadconditions and different design variables. When the calculations are finished, theaerodynamicists can analyze the results either numerically or graphically.<br />The Nitrates us CFD as the first step in their design and testing process,since it allows us to experiment with more design variables more quickly thanbuilding a physical model.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ccccff;">What Comes After the Virtual Wind Tunnel?</span></strong><br />Our second step is to build a physical scale model of thecar and place it in a wind tunnel, where we can conduct further research andcontinue to assess the car's aerodynamic efficiency. After these two steps are completed, our final step is to test and assess the car on the track itself.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><em>In the ongoing race to shave hundredths and thousandths of seconds off a race car'stime, Formula 1 teams seem set to continue their focus on advanced technology toaccelerate their design efforts.</em></span>The Nitrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07235998603313405185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960022340437470015.post-89435064320286233952008-07-05T23:58:00.000-07:002008-07-23T05:09:55.799-07:00Job Division<span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;" ><em>posted by,</em></span><br /><span style=";font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;" ><em>Joel yip- Design Engineer</em></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" >I'm sure you guys out there are wondering how the team works.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;" >So, i'm goin to explain on what role each of us play in the team.</span><br /><br /><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style=";font-size:85%;" ><strong>Team leader</strong></span></p><ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Guides the team and makes sure everyone is doing their part</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Takes the lead when any problems arise</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Encourages team members to strive and do their best</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Makes sure the assignments of team is handed in by the deadline</span></li></ul><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style=";font-size:85%;" ><strong>Design Engineer</strong></span></p><ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Understand the laws of physics and motion</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Create designs of cars through CAD</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Test the effectiveness of the car(speed)through the virtual wind tunnel</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Think of creative ways to increase the speed or reduce the drag of the car</span></li></ul><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style=";font-size:85%;" ><strong>Manufacturing Engineer</strong></span></p><ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Make the design engineer's vision become a reality</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Produce the winning machine based on the design engineer's concept and design </span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Research on raw materials and their effectiveness</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Assemble the car and ensure that it is destined for greatness</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Paint the car based on the design engineer's concept</span></li></ul><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style=";font-size:85%;" ><strong>Resource Manager</strong></span></p><ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Handle the logistics of the team</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Ensure that there is enough resources to run the team</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Responsible for the budget and income(sponsers)</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Collaborate with the graphic designer to produce advertisements</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Produce uniforms for the team</span></li></ul><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style=";font-size:85%;" ><strong>Graphic Designer</strong></span></p><ul style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Design the Brochures<br /></span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Design the Portfolios</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Produce posters</span></li><li><span style=";font-size:85%;" >Produce an image for the team</span></li></ul><span style=";font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" ></span>The Nitrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07235998603313405185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960022340437470015.post-50721461283946911882008-07-05T23:44:00.000-07:002008-07-23T05:12:25.556-07:00The Budget<span style="font-family: courier new;font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" >POSTED BY,</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;font-family:Courier New;font-size:85%;" >JOEL YIP- DESIGN ENGINEER</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" ></span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" ></span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;" >As we all know before producing something,the cash needed will always be an issue.

Organized by The Formula One In School Incorporated and supported by Ministry of Education, it’s open to all Form 4 secondary school students within the season. Participating students use state-of-the-art software programs that enable them to play around with CAD (Computer Aided Design) and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), just like real F1 designers.<br />They have to manage the whole project from scratch, from drawing up a business plan and raising the sponsorship, to financing it through the design and manufacturing stages, to a presentation in front of a panel of preeminent judges.<br />Student teams will compete against each other at the next national finals to determine who will represent Malaysia to the 2009 World Championships!<br /><br /><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">Why F1 Schools Technology Challenge Introduced ?</span></strong><br /><br /><br />The F1 in Schools Technology Challenge exists to raise the profile of engineering across schools and colleges around the world. CAD / CAM, CNC and VR system are now common place in the manufacturing industry, which is why it is so important for the engineers and designers of the future to get to grips with it earlier on.<br />The F1 in Schools initiative creates a fun and motivating environment for students to experience the engineering process. The worldwide popularity of F1 racing lends excitement while providing a relevant background for simulating critical elements of engineering in the real world.<br />Primarily, F1 in Schools provides students with an ideal opportunity to experience the very latest developments in manufacturing technology<br />Experiencing Engineering<br />Students form their own F1 teams to research, design, manufacture, and ultimately race their own scale model F1 cars. The process simulates many facets of real F1 racing.<br />From a design and manufacturing perspective, students use CAD (computer-aided design) software to create virtual 3-D models of their cars and translate their designs into reality by means of CNC milling machines.<br />Team organization is critical to the project. Teams must have a minimum of three to a maximum of six members who fill the following roles: team manager, resources manager, manufacturing engineer, design engineer, and graphic designer.<br />Teams must also promote their cars through a variety of marketing efforts, such as procuring sponsors (if possible); developing sponsorship decals and a consistent color scheme; and producing a design folder with initial design ideas, design development information, testing evidence, and graphical renderings<br />Lastly, the object of the exercise is to make these miniature projectiles travel a 20-meter distance in the shortest time possible.<br />The current record is 1.02 seconds, an average speed of 19.6 m/s. To put that in perspective, that’s faster than Fernando Alonso’s Renault could manage over the same distance, not withstanding its 900bhp cargo in the back!</span><span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:verdana;font-size:100%;" ><strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">Mission<br /></span></strong><br /></span><span style="font-family: verdana;font-family:times new roman;font-size:100%;" >The F1 in Schools initiative was set up in 2000 as a way of raising the profile of engineering as a career option and assisting the teaching of the subject in schools and colleges.<br />Since that time, some two million children have taken part, and it has expanded into an international competition. Twenty-two countries have signed up to this year’s contest, and the winners of each national competition will face each other in the world final.<br />It is hope that through direct experience of the technology and processes required to complete this project, students will be encouraged to explore and/or pursue a career in the car design, engineering and manufacturing industries.<br /><br />The design and rules present a different engineering and design challenge to test and develop engineering skills even further, besides cultivating interpersonal skills as team work is an important element of the Challenge.</span>The Nitrateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07235998603313405185noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960022340437470015.post-23586253325450900902008-06-30T02:21:00.000-07:002008-07-26T17:46:49.055-07:00About us...It began with one passion...

Thus, the ‘<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">Nitrates</span>’ was formed. The team has gone through thick and thin, many problems arise during the process of victory but they managed to pull through together and stand strong till the end. Now, after qualifying for the southern region championship, the road to the nationals, the team once again are working day and night in order to produce the ‘<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">the winning formula one car</span>’</span>- our pride and joy, “<strong>Godspeed</strong>”.
