Team Hydra - by H2RaceCar association

Hi, my name is Giovanni Maria Leonardi, I'm the head of the powertrain departement of a fully hydrogen powered vehicle that I'm currently building with my team, the Hydra Team.

The team was created by a couple of university collegues and I with the goal of making a hydrogen race car in a short time to let all the students from the university know that thinking, making and building a simple car can be possibile in a year, and make it compete in an international race : the Shell Eco Marathon.

The project is very young, in fact we created the association H2 Race Car a year ago, since then, we've never stopped.

Speaking of the project, since it's in its early stage we don't have a lot of funds because the university has a very strict policy and the professors gave us only 3000 euros which are just enough for the chassis and the wheels.

I've made a deal with a professor that became our "professor in charge" of the project, he is into the hydrogen field and after correctly sizing the power needed in order to make the car run, we proceeded to buy a fuel cell and the motor.

Now I'm testing some pcbs (relay driving circuit, supercapacitor balancing circuit and the steering wheel LCD button circuit) and I'm making gerber files out of them.

However, since we don't have anymore funds I' ve found myself buying a lot of electrical components.

I would also like to share with you couple of images that show our chassis, and the aerodynamic studies we are doing

So what we are asking is a deal between us so we can keep on going with this really challenging and student-mindset changing project.

We could be sharing your company throughout the university, professors, students and the competition.

What deal do you have to offer if I may ask?

Again, I'd like to point out the youth of the project, therefore the limited funds we have. Any help would be really really appreciated!!
