Wan Feng's idea is actually nothing new. All motor vehicles except motorcycles have generators, whether they are trucks or cars.
When the vehicle is running, the engine speed drives the generator to charge the vehicle's battery.
However, the electricity is mainly used for vehicle starting and lighting, as well as the electric configuration in the car, and has nothing to do with power output.
Wan Feng simply changed the purpose of the generator, using it to charge the battery as a power supplement.
Due to the speed, electric vehicles may need a speed-increasing transmission to increase the speed of the generator to achieve the purpose of discharge.
This set of things cannot be too heavy or too big, it is best to be able to be shrunk within a smaller size and weight range.
The Lan Xinghan department can develop the generator, as they are the ones researching this.
Lan Xinghan's department also has nearly a hundred people, but it has a weaker presence in Nanwan Group, but its contribution is not necessarily small.
All the starter generators on Nanwan Group’s vehicles come from their department, and all of the nearly 100 people in the department are highly educated.
In recent years, they have been constantly upgrading their starters and generators.
However, starters and generators are only incidental scientific research projects of their department, and their main research and development project is still high-efficiency electric motors.
It is not only used in electric motorcycles, but also has research projects for electric cars.
They have already achieved successful research and development in electric motorcycles and have accumulated nearly a hundred patents.
The current main focus is the research of high-power motors for electric vehicles.
Therefore, Wan Feng wishfully thought that it would not be a big problem to ask Lan Xinghan's department to develop a high-power engine.
Wan Feng was responsible and thought that whether Lan Xinghan's department could successfully develop the product was not his concern.
The successful research is a revolutionary breakthrough, and this achievement is destined to greatly extend the product's endurance. As to how long it can last, it is still unknown.
But it shouldn't be difficult to achieve Wanfeng's requirement of a range of 150 kilometers on a single charge.
After this achievement is successful on electric motorcycles, it will naturally be applied to electric cars in the future, which will also greatly enhance the car's endurance.
If the car can achieve a range of 600 kilometers, Wanfeng would dare to launch the electric car to the market ten years ahead of schedule.
Of course, there is also the possibility that the research will fail, but it doesn’t seem like there will be much loss if the research fails, it’s just a waste of research funds.
This system involves not only Xiu Lan Xinghan's department, but also other departments. The speed increaser needs to be developed by the gearbox department. The requirement is to provide a speed that is sufficient for the generator to generate electricity, and the size and weight should be as small and light as possible.
An electric motorcycle is not big in itself. How can you use it if the accelerator is too big and heavy?
Yang Li’s battery department will also be affected. Lithium batteries also work by continuously charging and discharging, and stability is also a key point.
You see, Wan Feng’s casual thought has affected so many departments.
When Wan Feng told Bai Guo about his crazy plan, the design studio he left was also very lively. Everyone in the room showed off their skills and asked all kinds of questions.
The people being asked were naturally Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui.
After a few rounds, Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui were infected by the mood. They did not expect that the discussion atmosphere in Nanwan would be so heated, and a small issue could cause a debate among more than ten people.
They summarized their racing experience over the years one by one.
Every time he said something, the technicians would start a discussion, pros and cons, pros and cons. There were debates on both sides, with people taking notes and others performing deductions on computer simulators.
The pace of discussion was very fast, and a question was often put aside within a few minutes.
The temporarily feasible parts and the temporarily unfeasible parts are clearly listed and will serve as the key points of future public relations procedures.
It was a little after nine in the morning when Wan Feng presided over the meeting, and it was almost ten when he finished the meeting and left.
It's only an hour until closing time.
An hour quickly passed with these designers talking in a few words.
Man is iron and rice is steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, it will be a waste.
The discussion moved from the design studio to the cafeteria, where everyone continued the discussion while eating.
Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui were like the others, with steamed buns or rice in one hand and two dishes in front of them. They weren't particularly good dishes, just a plate of cabbage and tofu, and a plate of stir-fried pork with garlic. They ate while interjecting into the discussion.
This made Lu Ningjun suddenly feel as if he was back to the age of seventeen or eighteen.
At that time, he had just joined the army and was living in a red era. Studying and training in the barracks was just like the current situation.
Although the food in the cafeteria was ordinary, he felt like he was enjoying the delicacies of nature.
The discussion lasted from 10 am to 2 pm.
They asked what they needed to ask and remembered what they needed to remember, and these designers have a clear understanding of racing cars.
The next step is to start the preliminary design and simulation of the computer.
At the same time, more than ten computers were designing and simulating, which opened Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui's eyes.
Because it is a rally, especially the Dakar Rally with harsh natural conditions, those who did the preliminary computer design almost all adopted a non-load-bearing body and four-wheel drive design.
Lu Ningjun saw the design capabilities of Nanwan Group for the first time, and what surprised him was that Nanwan Group seemed to have countless car models.
These car models are all stored in the computer, just open it and select it.
Before his eyes were dazzled, more than a dozen different car models were selected from the car styling library.
Without exception, these models are SUVs or off-road jeeps.
By around 4:30 p.m., six models had been finalized, and the configurations of the three major components had been roughly designed.
It is basically certain that the rally car that will be finalized in the future will be one of these six models.
Lu Ningjun and Lai Baogui looked at each other and could clearly see the shock in each other's eyes.
It took six and a half hours from the project launch to the vehicle design, including time for meals.
What kind of efficiency is this?
Of course, these cars are still on paper. They still need to go through various simulations and demonstrations before finally concentrating on a fixed model.
Then we build a model and blow it through a wind tunnel, integrate the three major components, and make a prototype car.
This will take some time.
But even so, this efficiency is too high!
Lu Ningjun remembered that Wan Feng seemed to have said that if they wanted to make a prototype car, they could produce it in August. At that time, he thought it was just bragging.
But looking at the current efficiency of South Bay, according to this approach, they actually made a prototype car in August, and he felt that there was nothing strange about it.
