Electric Go Kart Considering The Aerodynamic Structure With Standard Dimensions

Mechanical Engineering

The increasing demand for eco-friendly and energy-efficient transportation systems has led to the development of electric vehicles as a sustainable alternative to conventional fuel-based vehicles. This project focuses on the fabrication and implementation of an electric go-kart considering aerodynamic structure and standard design dimensions to improve performance, efficiency, and stability. The work involves the design and fabrication of a lightweight chassis, along with the integration of essential components such as a Brushless DC (BLDC) motor, battery pack, motor controller, and power transmission system. Standard dimensions and safety considerations were followed during the fabrication process to ensure structural integrity and proper weight distribution. Special emphasis was given to aerodynamic design by incorporating streamlined body features to reduce air resistance and improve airflow characteristics. The fabricated prototype was tested under real operating conditions to evaluate its performance in terms of speed, acceleration, energy consumption, and stability. The results obtained from experimental testing indicate that the go-kart operates efficiently with smooth power delivery and satisfactory performance. The aerodynamic considerations contributed to reduced drag and improved overall efficiency. This project demonstrates the practical implementation of electric vehicle technology combined with aerodynamic design principles. It provides valuable insights into fabrication techniques, system integration, and performance evaluation. The developed electric go-kart can serve as a foundation for further research and development in the field of sustainable and efficient transportation systems.
