Revolve NTNU

Revolve NTNU is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Revolve NTNU rather than just read about it. In short: Revolve NTNU is Norwegian University of Science and Technology's team for Europe's Formula Student motorsport competition. Established in 2010 and with their first car completed in 2012, when they were the first Norwegian team to participate at the Formula Student competition, the team has expanded to 80 students from different engineering disciplines at the university.

Key takeaways

Revolve NTNU belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Revolve NTNU to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Revolve NTNU from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Revolve NTNU is Norwegian University of Science and Technology's team for Europe's Formula Student motorsport competition. Established in 2010 and with their first car completed in 2012, when they were the first Norwegian team to participate at the Formula Student competition, the team has expanded to 80 students from different engineering disciplines at the university. They built Norway's first electric race car and Scandinavia's first four-wheel-drive electric race car.

History

2010–2012 The team was established in 2010, when it had eleven members, and first competed with a car named KA Borealis R at the 2012 Formula Student Competition, held at the British Silverstone formula racing track. They were the first Norwegian team to enter, and won the newcomers' prize.

2013 The team's 2013 car, KA Aquilo R, placed 16th at Silverstone and won the National Instruments Measurement & Control Award.

2014 For 2014 Revolve NTNU built Norway's first electric race car, KOG Arctos R. which placed 8th in the electric race car division.

2015 The 2015 car, Vilje, the team's second electric car, placed 26th at Silverstone after a last-minute replacement of the motor with one hand carried from a manufacturer in Slovenia, and then 4th at Formula Student Austria and 6th in the Vienna e-Challenge. In fall 2015 the race car building program became an official subject of study at the university; as of October 2016 it was the basis of eleven master's theses in progress, as of July 2017, seven.

2016 The 2016 car, Gnist, was Scandinavia's first four-wheel-drive electric race car.

2017 The 2017 car, Eld, was converted for driverless operation.

2018 In 2018 both Eld and Revolve NTNU's newest car with driver, Atmos, competed in Formula Student Germany, where Atmos placed second in the electric division.

2019 In 2019 the team's car, Nova, placed second in the electric car division at Formula Student Austria.

Sponsors Kongsberg Automotive ASA was the project's first major sponsor. Revolve NTNU also has a partnership with Petter Solberg and Petter Solberg Engineering since November 2011. Bertel O. Steen became a major sponsor in 2017. Other sponsors include Arrow and Midt-Norge Autolakk.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Revolve NTNU

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Revolve NTNU claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Revolve NTNU before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Revolve NTNU ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Revolve NTNU

In research: Revolve NTNU appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Revolve NTNU in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Revolve NTNU is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2010 establishments in Norway, Auto racing teams established in 2010, Formula SAE, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Revolve NTNU outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is Revolve NTNU in simple terms?

Why does Revolve NTNU matter?

Because it connects several astronomy ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study Revolve NTNU?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
