About the Event:

Presentation:  Landspeed Louise,

Featuring two members of the last American team to hold the Land Speed Record

  • Louise Noeth asks “do fast women really need engineers?” Astronaut John Glenn used Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats as a landmark from space, but on earth amateur motorsports enthusiasts, have used the blistering hot flat pancake as a speed laboratory for more than a century. With their handcrafted cars, trucks and motorcycles, thousands of men and women have hosted pageants of power each summer since 1949. Every single one came looking for the answer to the same question: “How fast will to go?” The decades of effort have made them the fastest people on earth reaching speeds more than 500MPH. On the salt, people find the limits of their courage, they learn what daring greatly is all about, and understand why a Bonneville Salt Flats speed record is an internationally respected pedigree. People who race on the salt flats become a family bound together by speed – a powerful force that erases ethnic, economic, political, and religious barriers: They are land speed racers. The evening presentation shines a spectacular spotlight on how some 350 women (ages 16 to 80) designed, built and/or set more than 1,000 land speed records.

Battery Abuse Testing – AEI Presentation at Generac

About the Event:

Presentation:

  • Lithium Ion Batteries (LIB) are quickly becoming the new source of energy for on-road and off-road vehicles.  As LIB energy densities increase, so too do the level of hazards, such as in the form of heat and gas.  Regulating agencies are becoming aware of these hazards and are reacting by creating protocols to test the safety integrity of LIB packs. 

Companies who’ve tested liquid and gaseous vehicles within their facilities have a deep understanding of the risks associated with those types of energy sources within their building.  Now, however, many are questioning the similarities and differences between testing with traditional fuels and testing with LIB packs.  We will compare the differences between designing a traditional fuel source test cell and the design of a test cell that contains a LIB.  We will discuss abuse bunkers and what cautions to be aware of when designing a LIB abuse bunker.  We will share heat and gas release data used to determine the air exchange rate in a LIB test cell and abuse bunker, and touch upon the emissions mitigation techniques, such as a scrubber or RTO system, used to manage the gas and particles expelled during a LIB thermal runaway event.  We will discuss the defense-in-depth strategy used to protect a LIB testing facility and its personnel, including blast panel area, gas/heat detection, air exchange rates, electrical classification and the abundance of water, to name a few.  Finally, how we consider prevention, detection, and reaction techniques to ensure a safe and effective testing environment.

This presentation is unique in that we will share heat and gas related information that is difficult to acquire given the emerging nature of LIB abuse testing.  We will reference many white papers and national lab studies used in our calculations, information that was used to extrapolate pack level data from single cell data.   

Guest Speakers:

Jeremy Lang, Project Manager and Jacob Weber, Mechanical Engineer (PE) from Affiliated Engineers, Inc.

Jeremy has spent the past 20 years in the engine and vehicle testing market.  Starting in controls and automation, Jeremy traveled globally installing, programming and commissioning test cells, and more recently, leading the design of those facilities. Now, following the market trend to full electrification, Jeremy is applying the facility design practices learned in engine and vehicle test cells containing hazardous fuels to the lithium ion battery testing market, with some caveats. 

Generac and AEI have been partners for years. AEI has enabled growth in Generac’s engineering test and development facilities, driving record expansion. Come learn about AEI’s technology hosted by Generac at their Kern Auditorium.

Presenters Gary Wollert & John Fuhreck (Both SAE Milwaukee Section Members) will then talk about what has changed in both the business model and product design cycle in the last 10 years? Especially with other tool companies who used to be more of a complimentary tool or non-competitor, who may now be competing on some product lines. Also, automotive technology changes at a very rapid pace and with so many electric vehicles coming out, what effect is this having on product lines? A Q&A session will follow.

About the Tour :
Our host, Patrick Donohue will give us a guided tour of the Snap-on museum and the InnovationWorks facility.  InnovationWorks is the centerpiece of the innovation network at Snap-on. The facility utilizes several distinct areas – each designed to support and enhance a vibrant, user-centered innovation process.

The development of a lightweight, compact, simple and reliable Heavy Fuel reciprocating engine for aerospace applications has been attempted by numerous companies.  Most of these engines are derivatives of automotive engines. DeltaHawk Engines, Inc. of Racine, Wisconsin has spent well over a decade developing a purpose-built aviation engine targeted both for General Aviation and UAS applications.  The goals of this project have been to produce an engine that burns heavy fuels with high fuel efficiency, manned-aircraft reliability and very low maintenance.  With sufficient funding now in-hand, the engine is nearing completion, with FAA Certification and commencement of production targeted in 2019.

Aviation engines present a challenging set of problems for engineers, many of which are unique to aviation. The engine requirements include race-engine like performance, combined with very low weight, compact size, and extraordinary reliability and durability.  The added challenge is that these engines must meet extremely high regulatory standards and oversight from aviation authorities. Light General Aviation aircraft have historically utilized air-cooled, spark-ignition engines, literally derivatives of World War II technology.  These engines burn specialized aviation gasoline, which is under environmental pressure.  

DeltaHawk has developed a Jet-Fuel powered General Aviation engine that brings the advantages of diesel technology to aviation.

This presentation will give an overview of the history of aviation diesels, the market drivers, and a look at the DeltaHawk engine architecture.
