What is CVT ? || which CVT is best for Baja vehicle ? - Baja Teach

What is CVT? CVT stands for continuously variable transmission. The major components of the CVT system are driving pulley, driven pulley, CVT belt. It provides the infinity number of gear ratios within a particular range of ratios. How CVT works? While a traditional transmission uses a wide variety of intricate parts to shift between ranges of present gears, most CVT systems work through a pulley system. In short, this system consists of cones at each pulley connected via a chain belt. The cones can move to increase or decrease the belt diameter to change gear ratios, allow for quick shifting into the needed ratio for increased power, and boost fuel economy. One pulley in the CVT is connected to the engine and the other directs power to the wheels. The width of these pulleys changes based on the needed power; as one gets larger, the other gets smaller. There is a second, less common, type of CVT that uses a series of discs and rollers, but it operates on similar p

Types of brake fluids-Baja Teach

Without choosing proper brake fluid for Baja Vehicle drivers may face problems during braking. How much brakes department is important we all know, without clearing brake test Baja vehicle is not eligible to participate in any dynamic events? What is brake fluid? Brake fluid is a type of incompressible fluid used in the hydraulic braking system in the automobile industry. It is used to transfer force from brake pedal to the caliper and to amplify braking force. Brake fluid is decided on the following characteristics 1. Viscosity 2. Compressibility 3. Boiling point ( Dry and Wet) 4. corrosion Brake fluid is crucial to the braking system and must carry out its duty under exacting conditions. According to the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA), the brake fluid must pass through four standard tests: 1. Do not solidify at low temperatures. 2.

Which caliper is best for Baja Vehicle?- Baja Teach

I considered nothing is more in the brakes department if you are going to use an OEM caliper. In Baja vehicles, the hydraulic braking system is used. Please don't consider drum brakes. There is no sense to use drum brakes in Baja vehicles because it is heavy, big and also driver needs more force for actuating the brakes. Hydraulic disc brake good efficient to use for Baja vehicle because it is lighter in weight, compact in size no more force required by the driver. In this type of Braking System incompressible fluid is used to actuate brakes, this fluid is called brakes fluid . Types of brakes fluids available DOT3 DOT4 DOT5 DOT3 and DOT4 are glycol-based fluids. DOT5 is silicon-based fluid. The simple difference is DOT3 and DOT4 absorb water while DOT5 doesn't. And the main point on which brake fluid is decided is its boiling point . There are two types of brake calipers used in Baja vehicles. 1. Floating caliper 2. Fixed caliper F

Step by step process for completing the Baja event

As we know all know this year some circumstances are create due to the Co-vid virus which is not favor in BAJA SAE 2021. But we talk on this topic soon…. What are the steps need to follow for the BAJA SAE team? Step1 - If you are belonging from the old team so first ensure how many old members ready to continue the new team. Note - If you are a pure new team then follows from step2. Step2 - Start the recruiting process in the mid of February. Tip- Always tries to recruit members from 2 nd year, if your team contains 5 or more old members from 3 rd year and 2 to 3 members of the 4 th year. Step3 - Always try to make a team of 25 members because the full team shows your college student's interest in the Baja project and this gives a good impact on virtual Baja judges. And personally more members’ means more hands for fabrication, more managerial power, more minds for designing and thinking. Overall more probability of competition of vehicle in min

About BAJA SAE EVENT- Baja Teach

BAJA SAE event is organized by the society of automotive engineers (SAE) for undergraduate students. The objective of BAJA is to stimulate real-world design, projects, and related their challenge…. BAJA SAE competition takes three to four days. BAJA SAE EVENT held in only six countries all over the world USA, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, and INDIA . The event was first originated in the year of 1976 at the The University of Carolina with the name of Mini-BAJA . BAJA SAE INDIA started in 2007. But the story starts in 2002 when the the first team from INDIA of Delhi college engineers participated in Mini-BAJA 2002. Baja SAE India competition held in two places first in Indore Pritampur and second at Chandigarh University . Your team got which event depends upon your Baja Virtual scores. Among 350 teams only the top 150 teams go head for BAJA Pritampur and about 60 teams go for Chandigarh University. So it is very important to clear Baja Virtual for partic
