A few of the critical systems are listed below:
•Power system: This is the system that changes heat or reactive chemicals into energy. Essentially it's what you need to move your car and you have to decide if you want a traditional internal combustion engine, an all-electric car (battery-powered), a hybrid system or maybe even a fuel cell. This will also determine how many of the other systems within your car are chosen and assembled. •Starting and charging system: This system gets the motor running and helps power the electrical system. On a traditional car it's the alternator, starter motor, and battery. But variations are becoming more common as new systems, like hybrid vehicles, are introduced. •Powertrain system: This transmits the power from the engine (power system) to the wheels and can incorporate a number of different types of transmissions, transaxles and differentials. If you're involved in a hybrid or an all-electric build, you'll need to know how to direct the transmission of power from electric motors to the wheels. •Steering system: This allows the driver to point the vehicle where they want it to go. Some cars use a steer-by-wire system that dispenses with mechanical linkages to steering racks and instead uses electronic modules to transmit exactly what the steering wheel is doing to motors that move the wheels. •Suspension system: This system incorporates the tires, shocks and springs that provide better handling and control of the car as well as what type of ride you select -- soft, hard, responsive and so on. •Brakes: If you go, you have to stop. This system allows for that, as well as integrating anti-lock brake systems, traction control and electronic stability programs that reduce spinouts. •Frame system: This supports the body, as well as providing a structural element for other safety features like crumple zones. •Body system: This protects the driver and passengers within the vehicle, as well as the vehicle's many hidden components from outside hazards. •Electrical system: Now considered the single most important system for vehicle operation; however, in a home-assembled vehicle, you can choose how elaborate you want to get with your vehicle's electrical system. |
