About the Event:

Presentation:  Landspeed Louise,

Featuring two members of the last American team to hold the Land Speed Record

• Louise Noeth asks “do fast women really need engineers?” Astronaut John Glenn used Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats as a landmark from space, but on earth amateur motorsports enthusiasts, have used the blistering hot flat pancake as a speed laboratory for more than a century. With their handcrafted cars, trucks and motorcycles, thousands of men and women have hosted pageants of power each summer since 1949. Every single one came looking for the answer to the same question: “How fast will to go?” The decades of effort have made them the fastest people on earth reaching speeds more than 500MPH. On the salt, people find the limits of their courage, they learn what daring greatly is all about, and understand why a Bonneville Salt Flats speed record is an internationally respected pedigree. People who race on the salt flats become a family bound together by speed – a powerful force that erases ethnic, economic, political, and religious barriers: They are land speed racers. The evening presentation shines a spectacular spotlight on how some 350 women (ages 16 to 80) designed, built and/or set more than 1,000 land speed records.

About the Event:

Join the Milwaukee SAE Section at DeltaHawk for a discussion on around the many constraints on aircraft engine design and the problems that need to be solved as they have brought their engine to FAA Certification. We will also have a tour of their test and development areas followed by dinner and social hour.

About the Event:

Presentation:

• Lithium Ion Batteries (LIB) are quickly becoming the new source of energy for on-road and off-road vehicles.  As LIB energy densities increase, so too do the level of hazards, such as in the form of heat and gas.  Regulating agencies are becoming aware of these hazards and are reacting by creating protocols to test the safety integrity of LIB packs. 

Companies who’ve tested liquid and gaseous vehicles within their facilities have a deep understanding of the risks associated with those types of energy sources within their building.  Now, however, many are questioning the similarities and differences between testing with traditional fuels and testing with LIB packs.  We will compare the differences between designing a traditional fuel source test cell and the design of a test cell that contains a LIB.  We will discuss abuse bunkers and what cautions to be aware of when designing a LIB abuse bunker.  We will share heat and gas release data used to determine the air exchange rate in a LIB test cell and abuse bunker, and touch upon the emissions mitigation techniques, such as a scrubber or RTO system, used to manage the gas and particles expelled during a LIB thermal runaway event.  We will discuss the defense-in-depth strategy used to protect a LIB testing facility and its personnel, including blast panel area, gas/heat detection, air exchange rates, electrical classification and the abundance of water, to name a few.  Finally, how we consider prevention, detection, and reaction techniques to ensure a safe and effective testing environment.

This presentation is unique in that we will share heat and gas related information that is difficult to acquire given the emerging nature of LIB abuse testing.  We will reference many white papers and national lab studies used in our calculations, information that was used to extrapolate pack level data from single cell data.   

Guest Speakers:

Jeremy Lang, Project Manager and Jacob Weber, Mechanical Engineer (PE) from Affiliated Engineers, Inc.

Jeremy has spent the past 20 years in the engine and vehicle testing market.  Starting in controls and automation, Jeremy traveled globally installing, programming and commissioning test cells, and more recently, leading the design of those facilities. Now, following the market trend to full electrification, Jeremy is applying the facility design practices learned in engine and vehicle test cells containing hazardous fuels to the lithium ion battery testing market, with some caveats. 

Generac and AEI have been partners for years. AEI has enabled growth in Generac’s engineering test and development facilities, driving record expansion. Come learn about AEI’s technology hosted by Generac at their Kern Auditorium.
