Project summary

PERSECUTED OBJECTIVES: The main objective is to manufacture several Karts in a team between all the participating teaching centers with different alternative energies and to carry out comparative tests between all the manufactured Karts. EXPECTED RESULTS: - A different Kart for each participating training center fed with different alternative energies. -Documentation of the courses of the different advisory entities. NEEDS: The project arises from the need to update in the field of electric motors and renewable energies applied to the automotive industry. This project is INNOVATIVE because the majority of Kart currently manufactured are thrusters with gasoline engines and these Kart are propelled with electric motors and powered by different alternative energies. DISTRIBUTION OF TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The project is divided into several lines of work. The following partners are responsible for carrying out each of them: - IES Gregorio Prieto (SPAIN): Coordination of the project and development of the Kart chassis and manufacture of an electric car powered by a hydrogen fuel cell - CNH2: (SPAIN): Advice and training on the installation of the hydrogen fuel cell in the Spanish Kart. - Lyceum Jean Baptiste Dumas (FRANCE): Development of the direction and suspension of the Kart and manufacture of a cardboard powered by solar energy. - Future Focus Ltd (MALTA): Development of the body and paint of the Kart. Design of the application technology of solar energy outdoors together with the French center in addition to the manufacture of its own Kart. - ISIS "A. PONTI" (ITALY): Assembly of wheels and electric motors integrated in the wheels and braking system and manufacture of an electric Kart powered by wind power - TBZ (GERMANY): Development of high voltage, manufacture of an art and application of "Floor with power generation" technology in its center. TRANSNATIONAL PROJECT REASON: The realization of this project in common among students and professors from different countries and different cultures is a very enriching experience for the future acquisition of a job for students in multinational companies working around the world; Due to the experience acquired in teamwork in English with colleagues for the country, it is only possible to obtain this competence with transnational projects of this type. OBJECTIVES: -Raise awareness about the environment, climate change and pollution in big cities. -Know the alternative alternatives to oil. -To study different materials for the manufacture of a Kart chassis and its characteristics. -To carry out a process to manufacture a Kart. -Know and apply the rules of safety and hygiene. -Implement the hydrogen fuel cell. -Know the implementation of Kart powered by solar energy. -Learn a system of direction and suspension in the Kart. -Design and manufacture the body and paint. -Fit wheels and electric motors integrated in the wheels and their braking system. -Manufacture of an electric Kart powered by wind power. -Install a battery charge and temperature control system. -Implement a system of "Energy collection" in a center. -To carry out comparative tests between all Karts manufactured with different alternative energies. PROFILE OF THE PARTICIPANTS: -Professionals from the different centers of the association with training and interest in the topics of the project, as well as their own management teams. -Students of the courses of Vocational Training lever Basic of Vehicle Maintenance, of Electromechanics, Bodywork and Electronics.

The activities are divided into activities prior to the meeting, which each country takes place prior to the mobility and activities of the meeting itself. The methodology used will be Flipped Classroom, in which the students, after a series of indications, will be in charge of creating. Teamwork and the diversity of the groups created are also encouraged. To facilitate cooperative work 2.0 tools are used where students from several countries must work remotely at the same time.

Final report summary

OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED: The main objective is to manufacture several Karts as a team between all the participating teaching centers with different alternative energies and to carry out comparative tests between all the Karts manufactured. RESULTS ACHIEVED: -A different Kart for each participating training center powered by different alternative energies. - A collaborative website where all the information generated during the project is collected: http://erasmuskart.somosdelprieto.com/ NEEDS: The project arises from the need to update itself in the field of electric motors and renewable energies applied to the automotive industry. This project is INNOVATIVE because most of the Karts currently manufactured are powered by gasoline engines and these Karts are powered by electric motors and fed with different alternative energies, thanks to this project, experience, training and material generated that will be very useful have been achieved. not only for the courses that have enjoyed the project, but for future courses. DISTRIBUTION OF TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The project has been divided into several lines of work. The partners, you have been responsible for carrying out each of them: - IES Gregorio Prieto (SPAIN): Coordination of the project and development of the Kart chassis and manufacture of an electric kart powered by a hydrogen fuel cell - CNH2: (SPAIN): Advice and training on the installation of a hydrogen fuel cell in the Spanish Kart. - Jean Baptiste Dumas Lyceum (FRANCE): Development of the steering and suspension of the Kart and manufacture of a kart powered by solar energy. - Future Focus Ltd (MALTA): Development of the Kart body and paint. Design of the technology for applying solar energy to the Kart together with the French center in addition to the manufacture of its own Kart. - ISIS "A. PONTI" (ITALY): Assembly of wheels and electric motors integrated in the wheels and braking system and manufacture of an electric kart driven by compressed air nuclear energy. - TBZ (GERMANY): Development of high voltage, manufacture of a kart and application of regenerative braking technology. TRANSNATIONAL PROJECT REASON: Carrying out this project in common between students and teachers from different countries and different cultures is a very enriching experience for the future acquisition of a job for students in multinational companies that work all over the world; Due to the experience acquired by working as a team in English with colleagues from any country, it is only possible to achieve this competence with projects of this type at a transnational level. PROFILE OF PARTICIPANTS: -Teachers from the different centers of the association with training and interest in the project topics, as well as their respective management teams. -Students of FPB courses in Vehicle Maintenance, Middle Grade Training Cycles in Electromechanics, Bodywork and Electronics. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES: EXCHANGE 1: MEETING IN SPAIN (NOVEMBER 2018) EXCHANGE 2: MEETING IN FRANCE (APRIL 2019) EXCHANGE 3: MEETING IN MALTA (OCTOBER 2019) EXCHANGE 4: MEETING IN ITALY (MAY 2021) EXCHANGE 5: MEETING IN GERMANY: (MARCH 2021)
