An overview of the Buckeye Bullet 1

This clip was filmed shortly after the BB1 Set the International Landspeed Record for an Electric vehicle. Someone outside of the team recorded it and posted it to YouTube.

Buckeye Bullet Workshop

Some times you just need a drawing.

A 2D I made from a 3D model to be sent out for manufacture.

A simple Animation

I used Solidworks Built in Animation features to make this short movie. More to come soon.

It showed up on You Tube?

One day I was poking around YouTube, and suddenly come across a video of myself talking about the bullet that I didn't even know was taken. I think the guy I was talking to must have had a cell phone camera on his backpack or something. So good video of the bullet and also our Challenge X vehicle.

Standoff Tab

Not all the work is glorious, but even the small things like this standoff need to be made!

Driver Cell

This rendering of the carbon fiber driver safety cell turned out so well that I had to include it. On our high resolution screen it was hard to distinguish the cad model from the manufacturer's photo. We had this piece custom made at Roush industries.

Fastener in Action

Here is the fastener described below in action, holding the body to the chassis.

Fire Suppression in Car

here is a shot of the Fire system packaged in the vehicle. We are carrying 3 systems on board, the one you see here, on on the opposite side of the vehicle, and one packaged by the rear wheels to cover the Fuel Cell and Tank area of the Vehicle.

Fire Suppression

After a great deal of research, a fire suppression system was chosen for the vehicle. We will carry 9kg or about 20lbs of Halon replacement on board to quickly dispense any fire, should one arise. This system from Lifeline was small light, making it very easy to package in the vehicle.
