Course detail

Aventics Pneumobil Racing

FSI-0ZPAcad. year: 2015/2016

Much expert knowledge for design and manufacture of racing pneumobil will be necessary in related project courses at the Institute of machine and industrial design. Many students have no possibility to meet in practice gearings, shafts, cams, bearings, pistons and other things and consequently they have problem with understanding of theoretic explanation in lectures or with assembling such parts. Mini-car Mitsuoka K-1 with two-stroke engine, assembled by students themselves during the semester, help to fulfill the innocence in this area. Students get acquainted practically not only with subject matter, but also with all standard parts of cars and other machines from screws, bearings, driving units, hydraulic systems up to the modern electronic systems.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

The commentary is according to a modern servicing, students acquaint with right using of tools and methods of disassembly and assembly of machine groups. They meet modern trends in technology of sealing, bonding and renovation of parts. The students take part in many measurements like for example oil test, determination of vehicle dynamic, measurement of noise emission, finding of spring stiffness or centre of gravity of the vehicle. The students will obtain theoretical knowledge and practical experience with experimental work with emphasis on using of computer in measurement and processing of experiment.
