WHAT
Summer School „Geist 21“
Innovations in automotive with polypropylene honeycomb cores
monocoque sandwich construction (Sandwich-Monocoque) for lightweight electric cars
For a period of one week you will explore and test the possibilities of using sandwich construction for structural elements in electric vehicles. The work will be done in small groups. During the practical lessons at the Summer School you will construct sandwich monocoques from sandwich panels with ThermHex honeycomb cores. The skins will be made of glass fiber/PP-UD tapes between a given directed front axle and an electro-motor driven rear axle. At the end of the week the vehicles will be presented and tested in a race.
