Formula Hybrid

International Competition

May 5, 6, 7, 2008

08 annualsecond

We are thrilled to have sixteen cars competing this year.

The competition is the result of the hard work of many people at Dartmouth and

beyond. We are grateful to all our sponsors, judges, event volunteers, and supporters.

Most of all, we are indebted to the enthusiasm of all the students who have taken up

the Formula Hybrid challenge. We are delighted that they are directing their ingenuity

and creativity to advancing hybrid technologies, as we believe that ideas developed

for competitions today may lead to everyday applications tomorrow. This event, the

second annual Formula Hybrid competition, is another step in the growing movement

to engineer new automotive solutions.

We are already planning the 2009 Formula Hybrid Competition. We look forward to

seeing you there.

For over a decade, Dartmouth engineering students have

participated in the annual Formula SAE competition. In 2003 a

team of engineering students decided to test their knowledge of

electric motors and the role they could play in formula racecars. The

team reasoned that because electric motors deliver higher torque

at low speeds than do internal combustion engines, a hybrid could

offer advantages in a few of the Formula SAE events.

The Dartmouth team converted a former Formula SAE car with a

traditional combustion engine into a hybrid vehicle, overcoming

numerous technical challenges along the way. One of the most

difficult aspects was making all the pieces fit. Despite the smaller

size of the hybrid gasoline engine, there are more components to

a hybrid drivetrain, including the electric motor, motor controller,

energy storage system (accumulator), various high-power voltage

converters, and computerized control systems. But the greatest

obstacle of all was that hybrid cars could not meet newly revised

Formula SAE regulations. So the Dartmouth team decided to create

a whole new competition: Formula Hybrid.

Under the leadership of Doug Fraser, director of the Formula

Hybrid Project at Dartmouth, Formula Hybrid took shape with

SAE and IEEE endorsements. In 2006 Formula Hybrid enthusiasts

convened at Dartmouth to develop competition rules and regulations.

The wheels were set in motion for the annual Formula Hybrid

International Competition.

formula 08hybridWhat is Formula Hybrid? The Road to Formula HybridThe Formula Hybrid™ International Competition challenges

undergraduate and graduate students to design and build hybrid

racecars and compete in a multi-event program. The open-wheel,

single-seat cars must conform to a set of rules—formulas—that

emphasize, encourage, and promote drivetrain innovation and

fuel efficiency.

Organized by Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College,

Formula Hybrid carries the endorsement of the Society of

Automotive Engineers, Inc. (SAE) and the Institute of Electrical

and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE).

The Formula Hybrid competition builds on the highly successful

Formula SAE program by adding a new layer of complexity. Like

Formula SAE events, the Hybrid competition includes autocross,

endurance events, an acceleration test, and judging of car design

and marketing presentations. But in addition, Formula Hybrid

demands completion of all events on a fixed amount of fuel—

a challenge that proves difficult to master. The competition gives

teams the opportunity to demonstrate and test their solutions and

glean new ideas for the future.

BETWEEN FOLLOWING AND LEADING RESIDE TWO WORDS.

WHY NOT?Two words that can inspire every one of us to make a difference. Congratulations to the

participants of the 2008 Formula Hybrid Competition from all of us at Toyota.

toyota.com/whynot

Create.Collaborate.

Innovate. Most engineering schools advocate

interdisciplinary thinking yet still require you

to commit to a specific discipline right away.

Climb into the box first, they say,

then think outside it.

Engineering at Dartmouth is different.

Our single, multidisciplinary department maximizes

flexibility. Because we believe that nothing should

stand in the way of creativity, collaboration,

and innovation.

AB/BE, MEM, MS, PhD, MD/PhDThayer students recently won a Breakthrough Award from Popular Mechanics for the stabilizing GyrobikeTM they invented

for beginning riders.

I wasn’t born on some distant planet and I

don’t wear a cape. But my work developing new

technology, like hybrid vehicles, will play a big

role in helping preserve the environment for

generations to come. That’s important to me…
