With the truck of Vos Transport Group, we were able to transport all of our tools to Formula Student Netherlands in Assen! Without their help, we would not have been able to set up our pit and work on our car. It is great to partner with a transport company that shares the same believes: Vos recently started driving with hydrogen-powered trucks! #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #VosDeventer #Nebula #FormulaStudentNetherlands #FSN #TTAssen #VOS

⚠ MILESTONE ALERT! ⚠ This years accumulators build by Alissa Gielen and Casper Ploegmakers have been implemented into Nebula for the first time AND our hydrogen team consisting of Guido Metz, Sarah Kuijpers, Matthijs Veldkamp, and Niels van Dongen has been spinning our wheels on hydrogen today! 😍 This marks a great milestone in our progress towards @formula_student_france #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #BTF #Nebula #FSF

One of our newest partners is Total Materia, enabling us to choose the best material for each part of Nebula! The database of Total Materia allows us to view all the mechanical properties of all materials we need. Thanks to our partnership, we were able to compare all materials to make the best material choices possible! #HyDriven #HydrogenRacing #HydrogenRacing #FormulaStudent #FormulaStudentTeam #TotalMateria

It's a wrap! We have completed our first race of the year; Formula Student Netherlands 🇳🇱 We really enjoyed the race and gathered useful feedback for our next race; Formula Student France. In the coming weeks, we will use the feedback to make improvements on Nebula so we will be ready to race there! 🇫🇷 #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #Nebula #FormulaStudentNetherlands #TTAssen

We went through all different inspections at Formula Student Netherlands (FSN); the mechanical scrutineering, accumulator scrutineering and electrical scrutineering! Even though we did not pass all parts and therefore cannot participate in the racing events, the results of these inspections are very promising for Formula Student France (FSF): 1. Mechanical scrutineering The mechanical scrutineering was very successful! We had two scrutineering sessions and after working on the feedback of the first session, we managed to pass almost every part of these inspections. 2. Accumulator scrutineering As we recently worked on some problems with our accumulator, this scrutineering went better than expected. We had an inspection round and worked on the accumulators afterward. Tomorrow we will have another moment to work on them. 3. Electrical scrutineering The electrical scrutineering also exceeded our expectations! Even though we did not pass this inspection completely, we gained a lot of information and confidence for our next race in France. Most of the parts we did not pass were because the accumulator was not yet allowed in the car, and could therefore not be checked during the inspection. As we only have to make small adjustments, we are confident that we can race at FSF! #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #Inspection #Scrutineering #Nebula #FormulaStudentNetherlands #TTAssen

With the help of Sintecs, our Embedded System Engineers Stijn Brugman, Gertjan Kuindersma, Matthijs Veldkamp, and Daan Assies were able to design the PCBs. The ECU in the pictures, that Stijn Brugman designed is the main PCB, works like the car's brain. Sintecs verified the design iterations and gave feedback on the routing and component placement within the PCB. Together, we were able to embed the dashboard functionality within the ECU and locate the PCB more centrally. #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #Crowdfunding

MILESTONE ALERT! 🏁 Nebula is driving! After months of hard work, we can finally enjoy this long-awaited moment and we are glad to share it with you. 🩵 Besides doing several tests, we have recorded the Vehicle Status Video, which is a requirement of Formula Student Netherlands. WE ARE READY! #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #BTF #Nebula

In less than two weeks, we'll be able to present ourselves at TT Circuit Assen during Formula Student Netherlands, and YOU can show your help! 🏆 We dream of being the first team to bring the first element to the first place. ♻ To us, this race means much more than a place on this grid. Hydrogen can save our future, but we can't do it alone. YOU can make a change, show your support, and help us by donating at the HyDriven Crowdfunding page: https://lnkd.in/eH-a2q7i Universiteit Twente #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #Crowdfunding

Safety comes first ✅ Our vehicle dynamic engineers Daan van der Meijden, Stijn Servaas, and Max Vrieling are working on positive locking. During the race, the car will undergo severe vibrations. With the wire in the first picture, we make sure the bolts in the car can never get loose due to these vibrations. In the swipe, we have several examples of how we do this. If we simply connect two bolts in the opposite direction. When one bolt tends to rotate out, it tightens the other bolt and therefore prevents it from getting loose. #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #BTF #SafetyLocking

Another milestone today! ⚠🩵 Our Embedded System Engineers Matthijs Veldkamp, Daan Assies, Gertjan Kuindersma, and Stijn Brugman managed to power the electromotors of Nebula, thereby spinning the wheels. This shows that the powertrain and the low-voltage systems in Nebula work! In the second and third photo, you can see how Gertjan Kuindersma and Stijn Brugman give input to the car and monitor the behaviour of the motor controller. #HyDriven #Hydrogen #FormulaStudent #RacingCar #HydrogenRacing #BTF #MotorTest
