We are competing in the urban concept class. This means that we will have: 4 wheels, a 1.0L Hydrogen tank, a maximum vehicle weight of 205 kg (we are aiming for 75 kg) and we will have a rim size of 16" and a tire size of 22".
Because of the low weight and the fact that we have a streamlined body means that with no wind the power to cruise @ about 25 km/h (15,5 mph) is < 100W not 500W. We will only using the max power for acceleration.
We need to complete 10 laps of 1630 meter in 39 minutes max, with one stop and go each lap.
Because we are using a serie of supercaps, we would need more of them for a high voltage (voltage of one supercap is about 2.5V). And if you connect a lot of capacitors in serie the total capacitance of serie will we lower than when use a lower voltage and thus few capacitors.
