UW- Madison First Place Clean Snowmobile Challenge – Milwaukee Section Shows Strong (from SAE National and Michigan Tech University)The zero emissions division was won by the University of Wisconsin at Madison. UW Madison team leader Nick Rakovec credited excellent advising and teamwork for the battery-powered sled’s success. It uses a Delphi electric motor (once used by General Motors in its EV1 electric car) powered by 84 28-volt lithiumion batteries and is capable of running up to 20 miles on a single charge. “We can charge these batteries in half an hour,” Rakovec said. “If the NSF takes it to Greenland, they’ll be able to recharge it quickly.”The team has earned a chance to send members and possibly its winning sled to the National Science Foundation’s Summit Station in Greenland. Arctic researchers use electric vehicles when traveling across the ice, since any emissions can contaminate samples taken from ice and the air. “It’s an incredible machine,” said Tracy Dahl of Polar Field Services, representing NSF. “The thing rips.”UW Madison’s zero emissions sled also nabbed the Society of Automotive Engineers Award for Best Design in its class, first place for the Kreider and Associates Award for Best Paper, the DENSO Award for Best Ride, the Veco Polar Resource Range Event Award, and the Caterpillar Corporation Innovation Award.The University of Wisconsin–Platteville received the American Council of Snowmobile Associations Award for Third Place in the internal combustion division, as well as the Polaris Industries Award for Best Handling and the Aristo Award for most improved snowmobile team.Michigan Technological University earned the ThermoAnalytics Award for Fourth Place in the internal combustion division, plus the Land and Sea Award for Best Performance.UW Madison’s internal combustion sled took the SAE Milwaukee Chapter Award for Fifth Place, plus the BlueRibbon Coalition Award for Most Practical Solution balancing cost, noise and emissions; the Society of Automotive Engineers Award for Best Design in the internal combustion class, and third place in the best paper competition. |
