Innovation through Design
Carbinite LSR Mission Statement:
Carbinite LSR exists to push the limits of automotive performance while striving to expand the minds of our youth.
After competing at Bonneville Speed Week 2012, the Carbinite LSR Streamliner will be showcased around the country at educational venues, presenting to our nation's youth what can be accomplished with proper application of math, science and American ingenuity. Our team motto is:
To serve, To learn, To inspire
Our Goals:
1 ~ to break the 500 mph barrier at Bonneville Speed Week 2012 and become the fastest wheel driven car on the planet.
2 ~ to inspire young people in the importance of math and science, showing what can be accomplished in these fields.
3 ~ to develop new power plants that showcase non-government funded sustainable alternative fuels such as natural gas and electric.
4 ~ to develop extremely fuel efficient cars that significantly exceed current fuel mileage records.
What sets Carbinite LSR Ahead of the Crowd:
Past efforts and current mindset in building Streamliners has focused on keeping the car aerodynamically neutral (no lift or downforce). This necessitates the addition of significant amounts of weight in order to obtain enough traction for acceleration. Two problems have arisen since adopting this philosophy:
1 ~ The Bonneville salt conditions have deteriorated over the years. Therefore, the racing surface is no longer as flat as it once was. This causes the car to "skip" across the salt at higher speeds, breaking traction.
2 ~ The increased weight of the cars leads to slower acceleration. Cars may run out of track prior to reaching maximum speed.
The Carbinite LSR Streamliner design has addressed these problems. The Carbinite Streamliner is truly a unique despite the fact that it was loosely conceived from successful rocket car designs of the early seventies. The math and science behind Carbinite LSR does not lie. We will be successful.
As an extension of Carbinite LSR, we plan to visit schools and educational programs across the country to get students excited about a future in math and science. This project showcases many skills and potential careers, including computer aided drafting, fabrication, engineering and more.
Unique Marketing:
The Carbinite LSR project offers up a unique marketing opportunity for the right enterprise. Not only will we set records at Bonneville, we will inspire a generation of students to explore careers in science, math and other technical fields. We will expand current and research future alternative fuels. If you would like to explore a partnership with Carbinite LSR, please contact us today!
