Chem-O-Car

A Fusion of Chemistry and Engineering

Description:
Chem-0-Car is an exciting event where participants design a chemically powered car that must travel a specific distance carrying a defined load. Combining principles of chemical reactions and mechanical design, the event challenges teams to innovate, optimize, and showcase their engineering prowess in a fun and competitive setting.

Prizes:

1^st – 10,000
2^nd– 4,000
Registration Fees: Rs.200

Rules for construction of Chem-0-Car:
Team size can be 3-4 diploma and undergraduate students. One team is allowed to present only one model.

Objective:
To integrate chemical principles with real-world engineering problem-solving.

Rules and Regulations:

The dimensions of the model car should be 40 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm.
Propulsion based only on Chemical Reaction.
Use of chemicals beyond 1-MSDS rating is not allowed.
Mechanical brakes are allowed but stopping the car with the help of chemical reaction ‘PREFERABLE’.
Commercial batteries are not allowed except for some specialized instrumentation.
Decider in case of tie.
Perform again with different ‘LOAD’ on the spot within a maximum of 5 minutes.

Performance Details:
2 Chances will be given to reach the specified point
Effective Length = Central Length – Deflection of Car
Where, Central Length = Distance travelled by car

Score = (Effective Length) / (Ideal Length) x 70

Where, Ideal Length = Will be given 1 hr prior to the performance
