[Participate!] HYVE Engineering Contest (Clutches / Combustion Engines)
Munich based open innovation specialist HYVE has launched a new contest, this time all about clutches and combustion engines. The specific question is:
An internal combustion engine (ICE) can be started by an electric machine. This procedure is determined as a tow-start and is used in many forms in today’s powertrains. The coordination of e-machine, clutch and ICE is challenging. A quick and smooth start has to be ensured.
With the Engineering Contest, HYVE wants to probe the causes and generate new, innovative ideas for clutch systems connecting electrical machines and ICE. How can clutch systems be designed to guarantee a smooth interplay between electric machine and internal combustion engine over a defined lifetime?
Everybody who has ideas to solve this challenge is invited to submit them at www.engineering-contest.com and take a chance to win great prizes. Deadline is November 26th!
Good luck and happy engineering!
