Unfortunately some of us have had a year where hospital has been our visiting place for repairs to our old chassis. For those that can no longer attend events and outings, my thoughts go to you and your families. However with any club such as ours there is such a wide spread of ages with all experiences in life and that is what builds and makes a club strong. Examples of this are many but when we were broken into, members offered their services and skills to organise and repair the club. The clubrooms has had repairs done and been painted inside and outside, also the plants have been pruned and mulch spread in order to save water, but at the same time continuing to keep our area a beauty to behold. This has been conducted during the working bees and many hours put in by the volunteers who come in during the week to prune the roses, mow the lawns and keep the area and clubhouse clean. More importantly, our roof and yard will no longer have pine branches and needles blocking them. Due to the generosity of our neighbour, all the trees in the property next door have been removed as some of them were a danger to us and to the public passing on the footpath. Thanks go especially to Gerry Lang our retiring Property Officer for the many hours he has put in at the clubrooms, to Lyn Clerke and Kay Butler for their tending of the roses and to everyone who turned up at the working Bees. Most of all, I and all who attended the working Bees give a special thanks to Ruth Perry, who under the guidance of Merv, supplied the morning teas, with special mention of her savoury scones that she won‘t give out her secret recipe to anyone. The people who arranged events for us this year have done an exemplary job. What with Leisure Runs, Quarterly luncheons, Day Runs, the Border run, and the extra long week events away, we, the members have been well catered for. Thank you all for helping make these events successful. For those that wanted to know more about the mechanical side of their vehicles, the Enthusiasts Nights run by David Grear and his helpers, were of great benefit and another way of sharing knowledge in a more informal way. On special nights, David introduced evening runs where the run completed with a supper at different venues. Thanks you David and your left hand man David Garnett for these nights. To our Modern Regularity organisers; Tony Morgan and Competition Secretary, Chris Watters, our thanks go to you for encouraging participation in these events. To Geoffrey Stephens, I congratulate you on winning the State Title. In line with this event and many others around the state and in some cases interstate, we have a team that works away from the limelight at race meetings and without them race meetings could not be held. That group is the Austin 7 Club Timing Team led by Barry Frost. Thanks to you, Barry, and your team for the time and energy you put into your tasks and promoting the club by being at these events. Austin 7 Journals Page 3 January 2008 This year has seen Geoff Stephens busy with the Historic Registration of our vehicles. He also shows exemplary conduct above and beyond by allowing members to join by inspecting their vehicles and assisting with the registration requirements at his place of business. Thanks for the effort on our behalf. The club is required to comply with Occupational Safety and Welfare Acts, Food Handling Regulations, Hazard & Risk Assessment and a myriad of things we have to meet so that the club can function. The Committee has had to come to grips with these changes and also to continue to function so that we all have a good time. The Secretary ties all this together by keeping minutes and receiving and replying to the plethora of correspondence that comes to the Committee via the letter box and electronically. Without Ralph Drage and the other members of the committee, my job would be impossible to conduct. Thanks to all who have served your fellow members so very well over the past twelve months. Our Treasurer (Lyn Clerke) and my nurse in times of injury has stood by my side and worked incessantly for the club in large and small events and has willingly done much running around getting things for the club events. Earlier she indicated that she was not seeking re-election as Treasurer and has duly handed over to Kevin Haley who was elected in her stead. To allow for a smooth transition she has been elected as Assistant Treasurer for the time being. I thank her for being my partner in both life and in club life and for all she has done since taking up the role of Treasurer. I also, am retiring as President but not from the club and wish to pass my heartfelt thanks to all who have assisted me over the years to achieve what we as a club have achieved. I have enjoyed my time in the chair and your friendships are very much treasured. I wish the next President, Ralph Drage, all the best and encourage you all to welcome him and to assist the Committee to enjoy their time as well. Trevor Clerke President 2007. PRESIDENT'S LAST PRATTLE Hi, everybody. Christmas is over, and by the time you read this 2008 is well established. My term as President has come to an end and I have enjoyed and indeed felt privileged to lead a diverse and dynamic group of people with such a skill base. Your friendship and assistance has been wonderful over the time. I know you will give our incoming President, Ralph Drage, the same assistance as you have given to me. I thank all the people who have been on the committee, not just in the last year but in all the years that I was President, for without them and their willingness to assist, a President is like a steering wheel without a car. I also would like to pass on my thanks to those members who are leaving the committee, and wish them all the best in the future. To those who are not well, I send my regards and also from members of the club to you. All the best in 2008, and may the year bring you all Health, Happiness and lots of friendship.

  • Solar Challenger
    Solar Challenger Future starts now Tim van Leeuwen & Jesper Haverkamp V6 Hermann Wesselink College Advisor: F. Hidden March 2010 Abstract Main goal of this project was to make calculations and respective designs to create an electric airplane prototype, capable of powering its flight either entirely or partially using solar 2010 energy. This project intended to stimulate research on renewable energy sources for aviation. - In future solar powered airplanes could be used for different types of aerial monitoring and unmanned flights. First, research was done to investigate properties and requirements of the plane. Then, through a number of sequential steps and with consideration of substantial formulas, the aircraft‟s design was proposed. This included a study on materials, equipment and feasibility. Finding a balance between mass, power, force, strength and costs proved to be particularly difficult. Eventually predictions showed a 50% profit due to the installation of solar cells. The aircraft‟s mass had to be 500 grams at the most, while costs were aimed to be as low as €325. After creating a list of materials and stipulating a series of successive tests, construction itself started. Above all, meeting the aircraft‟s target mass, as well as constructing a meticulously balanced aircraft appeared to be most difficult. Weight needed to be saved on nearly any element. We replaced the battery, rearranged solar cells and adjusted controls. Though setbacks occurred frequently, we eventually met our goals with the aircraft completed whilst Tim van Leeuwen & Jesper Haverkamp Haverkamp Jesper & Leeuwen van Tim weighing in at 487 grams. – Testing commenced with verifying the wings‟ actual lift capacities.

  • Sailplane Aerodynamics at Delft University of Technology
    NVvL 2006 1 Research on sailplane aerodynamics at Delft University of Technology. Recent and present developments. L.M.M. Boermans TU Delft Presented to the Netherlands Association of Aeronautical Engineers (NVvL) on 1 June 2006 Summary The paper consists of two parts. Part one describes the findings of recent aerodynamic developments at Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, and applied in high-performance sailplanes as illustrated by the Advantage, Antares, Stemme S2/S6/S8/S9 family, Mü-31 and Concordia (Chapter 1). The same technology has been applied in the aerodynamic design of the Nuna solar cars as illustrated by the Nuna-3 (Chapter 2). Part two describes results of ongoing research on boundary layer control by suction, a beckoning perspective for significant drag reduction (Chapter 3). 1. Recent research on sailplane aerodynamics 1.1. Introduction The speed polar of a high-performance sailplane, subdivided in contributions to the sink rate of the wing, fuselage and tailplanes, Figure 1, illustrates that the largest contribution is due to the wing; at low speed due to induced drag and at high speed due to profile drag 1 . Figure 1 Contributions to the speed polar of the ASW-27 Hence, improvements have been focused on these contributions, followed by the fuselage and tailplane drag, in particular at high speed. These improvements will be illustrated by examples of various new sailplane designs. It should be pointed out, however, that each new sailplane design incorporates improvements similar to those presented here for the individual sailplanes. NVvL 2006 2 1.2. Induced drag Induced drag has been minimized by optimizing the wing planform with integrated winglets, as illustrated by the wing of the Advantage shown in Figure 2a.

  • Design in the Chair Aerospace for Sustainable Engineering and Technology (ASSET)
    Design in the chair AeroSpace for Sustainable Engineering and Technology (ASSET) Joris Melkert 1 Assistant professor, Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Delft, The Netherlands Abstract This paper gives an overview of the design work being performed in the chair Aerospace for Sustainable Engineering and Technology. The research of the chair is focusing on the themes sustainable energy conversion and sustainable transport. The work of the chair is organized in projects. For both research themes this paper gives an overview of two projects each. Key words: design, sustainability energy conversion, transport 1. Introduction The chair Aerospace for Sustainable Engineering and Technology was started in 2003 by professor wubbo Ockels. The chair aims at applying technology form aerospace for sustainable development. The chair does this from the vision saying that nature has no mercy and that humanity in the future needs to play the game with nature, rather than against nature. In this process technological means are essential, and in particular the technologies developed by aerospace can play an essential role. It is in this respect that ASSET sees an opportunity, namely to initiate activities where the capabilities and results of aerospace engineering are particularly used for sustainable developments. As this field is new, no previous experience existed. The strategy proposed was to initiate a number of highly visible and relevant projects that will lead to subjects for education and further research. The Faculty of Aerospace engineering strives towards organizing its research and education in an object oriented way. In fact for ASSET the objects are formed by initiating visible, challenging and stimulating projects from which the education and research forms a spin-off.

    Konceptstudie av solcellsdriven bil Richard Hansson EXAMENSARBETE 2011 Magister Industridesign Konceptstudie av solcellsdriven bil A concept study of a solar car Richard Hansson This degree project is performed at the School of Engineering in Jönköping in the subject field Industrialdesign. The project is a result of the master program Industrialdesign. The writers are responsible of the result, conclusions and reflections. Tutor: Lars Eriksson Extent: 30 points (D‐level) Date: 2011‐06‐10 Filing number: Postadress: Besöksadress: Telefon: Box 1026 Gjuterigatan 5 036‐10 10 00 (vx) 551 11 Jönköping Abstract World Solar Challenge is a competition in Australia held to promote the development of renewable energy sources. In this competition universities around the world participates and build their own solar driven car. This car should then be driven between Darwin and Adelaide, a distance of approximately 3000 km thru Australia on the shortest time as possible. This project is a collaboration with School of Engineering in Jönköping for a coming course where students can apply and then participate in World Solar Challenge 2013. This course makes it possible for students to build a solar car which will be driven and a part of the competition. By putting demands that is necessary and desirable in a function analysis the project gets a starting‐point and a support that decides how the concept should look like and which of the demands that should be implemented. The restrictions which the management of the competition for World Solar Challenge has established can be converted to necessary demands in the function analysis. The research, restrictions and those theories of the aerodynamic aspects has decides how the concept is designed.
