CoKi Racing Team from University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez campus manages to get their CoKi Turbo hydrogen peroxide powered Chem-E-Car to finish at 0 inches from the 70 feet marker at the 2009 AIChE's Southern Regional Conference. With this outstanding run CoKi Turbo finishes first and also obtains the Most Creative Drive System Award. We would like to thank our sponsors: Lockheed Martin, Boeing and BP.

  • @joshualeon Interesting. What pressure/flow rate were you putting through the turbine? Also, have you tried using a generator to harness the power?

  • @allamoureux07 The pressure through the turbine was 60 psi. Not sure about the flowrate since we never actually measured it. Our last car "Coki Tesla" intended to do just that, but the losses where too great and the car was not efficient by any means. We abandoned that project and are currently developing a new car.

  • What was your drive train and how did you produce the pressure?

  • @allamoureux07 The pressure is produced from the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide with potassium iodide. The reaction produces gaseous oxygen. The oxygen powered a custom made miniature turbine. The turbine was coupled to a transmission/differential and suspension assembly from an R/C electric car.
