Test drive Shell Eco-marathon 2007: ukusebenza kahle kakhulu
Amaqembu aqhamuka eDenmark, France, Netherlands naseNorway abephakathi kwabadle umhlanganiso kuShell Eco Marathon yalo nyaka. Inombolo ephezulu yamaqembu aphumelele ikhombisa ukubaluleka okukhulayo komcimbi, obone irekhodi labahlanganyeli abangama-257 abavela emazweni angama-20.
“Imiphumela emihle kakhulu yababambe iqhaza iwubufakazi bangempela bentshiseko ekhulayo isizukulwane esisha sonjiniyela esiyibekayo ekubhekaneni nezinselele zokonga ugesi kanye nokufeza ikusasa elisimeme,” kusho uMatthew Bateson, imenenja yezokuxhumana yakwaShell eYurophu.
Ama-Prototypes
Iqembu leLa Joliverie elivela eSt. UJoseph uphinde wawina umjaho oyisibonelo eShell Eco-Marathon ngemuva kokuphula isithiyo i-3km. Iqembu laseFrance elinqobe umjaho we-000 of the Year liwinile ngenjini yephethiloli yangaphakathi yomlilo, nokugcina ukusebenza kwabo okuhle ngosuku lokugcina lomjaho. Abafundi abavela kuJoseph baqopha umphumela we-2006 km ngelitha likaphethiloli futhi ngaleyo ndlela bakwazi ukudlula izimbangi zabo eziqine kakhulu i-ESTACA Levallois-Perret, nayo evela eFrance (3039 km ngelitha), nethimba leTampere University of Technology, Finland (2701 km ngelitha).
Iqembu elivela e-Ecole Polytechnique Nantes (eFrance) lithole umphumela omuhle kunayo yonke emncintiswaneni womncintiswano we-hydrogen cell prototype. Ithimba laseFrance likwazile ukunqoba amakhilomitha angama-2797 elingana nelitha elilodwa likaphethiloli futhi ngebanga elincane kakhulu lifica izimbangi zabo zaseJalimane uHochschule Offenburg wase-University of Applied Sciences (2716 km elingana nelitha elilodwa likaphethiloli) kanye nethimba leChemnitz University of Technology. km ilingana nelitha elilodwa likaphethiloli). Ama-prototypes amathathu asebenzisa amandla elanga ancintisane ngempumelelo kuShell Eco-Marathon yalo nyaka, neqembu laseFrance elivela eLycée Louis Pasquet liphumelele kulo mncintiswano.
Isigaba "Imiqondo yasemadolobheni"
I-DTU Roadrunners iwine kabili esigabeni se-Urban Concepts seShell Ecomathon. Iqembu laseDanish University of Technology aliphumelelanga nje kuphela ikilasi le-Internal Combustion Engines, kodwa liphinde lazuza umklomelo we-Urban Climate Protection Concepts. Ugubhe ukunqoba kwakhe nabahlanganyeli be-De Haagse Hogeschool, abawine indawo yokuqala ekilasini lezinto ze-hydrogen.
Imiklomelo ekhethekile
Kulo nyaka iShell European Eco-Marathon ibonise ubuhlakani nokuthuthuka kwezokwakha, ukuphepha kanye nezokuxhumana. Inkanyezi engenakuphikwa yomcimbi wemiklomelo ekhethekile kwakuyiqembu lase-Ostfold Halden University College, eNorway, elincintisana esigabeni se-Urban Concepts. Umklamo wemoto yeqembu laseNorway ufana nemoto endala yomjaho futhi wahlaba umxhwele amajaji ngokusebenziseka kwawo kanye nethuba langempela lokukhiqizwa kwe-serial kwemodeli. Iqembu e-Ostfold University College Halden libophele indawo yokuqala kwi-SKF Design Award nabafundi baseSpain IES u-Alto Nolan Barredos-Asturias futhi baphuma endaweni yesibili ngemuva kweqembu le-Proto 100 IUT GMP elivela eToulouse kumklomelo osimeme kunawo wonke wokuklama.
Ithimba laseNorway liphinde lahlonishwa ngeShell Communications Prize futhi labekwa endaweni yesibili kwi-Autosur Security Award ngemizamo yabo yokuthobela ukuphepha. Ophumelele esigabeni sokuphepha seShell Eco-Marathon bekuyiqembu lasekolishi laseFrance uRoger Claustres, eClermont-Ferrand. Umklomelo weBosch Innovation wanikezwa iqembu lePolytechnic University yaseMilan. Ithimba lase-Italy lihlaba umxhwele amajaji ngokwakhiwa kwe-clutch centrifugal yemoto.
Lo mklomelo wezenhlalakahle uye ku-AFORP Drancy, eFrance, ngokuhlela izinhlelo ezahlukene zemfundo yokuzijabulisa, kubandakanya umdlalo okhuthazayo we-Eco Marathon wabo bonke abagijimi.
“IShell Eco-marathon 2007 ikwazile ngempela ukukhombisa izimoto zangempela eziklanywe futhi zethulwa amaqembu abafundi ukukhombisa indlela yokudlulisa amandla, ubuchwepheshe kanye nokusungula izinto esikhathini esizayo,” kwengeza u-Matthew Bateson.
