Introduction At RoboTeam Twente we make a team of small soccer robots which autonomously plays against other teams. On a field of 9 by 12 meters, 8 of our robots cooperate as a team against the opponent’s team. On the inside, the robots are packed with circuit boards. These are used for driving the four […]
The Academic Motorsport Club Zurich (AMZ) consist of 65 students from the ETH Zurich and the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences, each year they design and build a complete electric racing car as well as, converting an existing race car into an autonomous (self-driving) racing car. The project is either part of their studies or […]
Young Engineers Deliver Innovative Successes As a new academic year starts the results and successes of the previous year student projects are published with some amazing results. Eurocircuits has and continues to support what we see as the future Electronic Engineers, helping them to achieve success in multiple innovative projects such as: Electric Vehicles Solar […]
Who are ETSEIB Motorsport Barcelona? ETSEIB Motorsport is a team of students, formed by undergraduate engineers at the last grades of their engineering studies. The team has coordinators from the faculty that give support and lead the project. Introduction In a electric race car is very important do a great job with the electronic system. We […]
The Team Electric Superbike Twente designs, builds and races a fully electric racing motorcycle. The goal is to show how awesome and fast electric transportation can be. 2017-2018 was the very first year for the team, so everything is built from scratch. Most components are designed by in-house by the team. For example: frame, swingarm, […]
THE HYPERLOOP CONCEPT In 2013, Elon Musk introduced the concept of Hyperloop – a novel, high-speed ground transport system. This mode of transportation projects to levitate passenger and cargo in so-called “pods” in near-vacuum tubes at speeds of up to 1,200 km/h. The realization of Hyperloop redefines the barriers of time and distance. The vision […]
This years pod, Mujinga, contains three different Eurocircuits PCBs First of all, we designed a circuit needed for our network communication. It processed the input data of the microcontroller and directed it further to the wireless radio. Next we had Eurocircuits produce a PCB for our brakes. We had two independent braking systems, including two […]
Introduction In an electric race car, it is very important to have some systems to indicate to track marshals whether the car is safe to handle or not. Usually this system is a light which can be found on a high point on the chassis. If the light is green, the car is safe to […]
Introduction In an electric Formula Student car, like the one of our team (Formula Electric Belgium), the power supply is a large lithium-ion battery made from 144 battery cells in series and 2 in parallel. This battery runs at a voltage between 500V and 600V, weighs about 50kg and contains 6.9 kWh of electric energy. […]
Welcome to the first Engineers of Innovation BLOG. Who are we? Engineers of Innovation is an alumni society of the Amsterdam university of applied sciences. The society aims to teach her members about multiple disciplines of mechanical and electrical engineering by building and competing in solar boat races. The main goal for our solar boat […]
A deep dive into the exoskeleton electronics At Project MARCH we are building an exoskeleton to give back full mobility to paraplegics. In this blogpost I want to take you through our electrical system and the Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) we designed for our newest exoskeleton: the MARCH III. First a short introduction to the […]
New exoskeleton: one step closer to independent walking for people with a spinal cord injury. On 14th of august 2018, students from Project MARCH presented a new and improved exoskeleton for people with a spinal cord injury, the MARCH III. Sjaan Quirijns, who has a spinal cord injury since 2000, revealed the exoskeleton by walking […]
