Virginia Tech may have gone on Christmas break, but many
team members stayed hard at work in the Ware Lab. They spent the majority of
their time working on getting an engine test stand operational. The goal of
this task was to validate our engine controls and to improve the engine harness
by rewiring several of the signals. Task completed.
After the engine was rewired and it was working on its own, we
added our custom P2 generator motor to the stand. Then we added the wiring for
the inverter to the engine harness. Validation complete.

Over the course of the next week, we plan to add the
transmission, the third and final piece of the front powertrain, to the test
stand as well. We also plan to validate more of our front powertrain controls
and determine whether we have solved our transmission leak issue we've
been having.
