Hackrod - Powered by Siemens

https://vimeo.com/261053715
]

Never heard of Hackrod? Heard of Siemens? Of course and of course. A new
joint venture between the Californian startup and the German industrial
giant is now exploring virtual reality (VR) and 3D printing to bring us an
electric roadster proof of concept. Yes, it’s “just another concept car,”
but this one seemed worth covering.

When VR, AI, & 3D Printing Give EVs A Helping Hand

Modern technologies sometimes collide and help each other in the the overall
market as a result.

Electric vehicle (EV) technology is maturing today, and it’s a much more
mainstream concept than it was a few years ago. I remember going to auto
shows a decade ago and hearing people ask where the engine is. We would
often hear things like. “Yes, I know it’s electric, but where’s the engine?”
This is less common with EVs today, but AI and VR are more or less at that
stage of awareness and development. The three can all help each other out,
though, to raise awareness further and see more consumer adoption.

One trend I’ve noticed in the last few years is the use of technologies from
other industries, such as aviation or other high-end, precision
manufacturing. This democratization of technology gives startups enough
resources to create an EVs in high-quality ways and less time. VR, AI, 3D
printing, and HPC access and testing are now commonplace in the new
automotive industry, which is largely focused on electric vehicles. The
convergence of these technologies can even help startups shave off precious
time and human resources compared to automotive giants. Case in point:
Lucid’s amazing story of having designed the Air [
https://cleantechnica.com/2017/02/14/lucid-motors-air-indeed-lucid-vision-original-review-test-ride-part-1/
] in less than 3 years with under 300 people.

The Accelerated Development of the Siemens, Hackrod Electric Roadster

Siemens [
https://www.siemens.com/global/en/home.html
] is now going a step further with Hackrod [
http://hackrod.com/
], collaborating to create an EV designed in virtual reality, engineered
with artificial intelligence (AI), and 3D printed in full size with a
structural alloy.

Officially named “La Bandita,” the speedster is a proof of concept for a
production methodology we hope will entice bigger players to follow.
Essentially, the Hackrod factory of the future will be powered by the
Siemens Digital Innovation Platform (DIP). They say it’s “as easy as playing
a video game.” Now that’s something we can rejoice!

Using the Siemens PLM Software platform [
https://cleantechnica.com/2018/03/20/siemens-plans-build-37-million-3d-printing-facility-uk/
], such as its NX and cloud-based Solid Edge Portal, Hackrod can access
design and engineering tools to quickly design, test, and manufacture its EV
solutions. By using modern technologies, it reduces the need for massive
industrial infrastructure or tooling budgets, as well as certain testing
phases.

According to Dr. Slade Gardner, Hackrod CTO, “The Hackrod and Siemens PLM
Software partnership is vitally important. … Our shared vision includes
optimized aesthetic design, robust validated engineering, complex advanced
manufacturing and rapid in-situ quality assessment. Because the Hackrod
vision includes rapid data collection for product design and iteration; and
customized manufacturing of sophisticated mechatronic systems, Siemens’
hardware connectivity for Industrial IoT and multi-axis additive
manufacturing are critical to success. The products of our partnership will
illustrate the impact that an efficient and motivated team can have access
to world-class digital design, engineering, visualization, manufacturing,
and inspection power.”

Bob Haubrock, Senior Vice President of Product Engineering Software at
Siemens PLM Software, added, “Hackrod’s vision for automotive design is an
exciting and unique use of our design and engineering software, and is
completely in line with Siemens’

Electric cars have the great advantage that their batteries can be recharged
anywhere there's electricity.

It may not be particularly fast, though modern plug-in vehicles get at least
60 miles overnight, and often double or triple that.

But a century ago, drivers of gasoline cars had just as much range anxiety
as electric-car drivers—especially if they wanted to take long road trips.

Today's global network of gasoline and diesel filling stations has developed
over 100 years, but it didn't exist at the turn of the 20th century.

The energy density of gasoline allowed trips of more than 100 miles,
impossible in the mass-market battery-electric vehicles of the day.
Traveling that far in a steam car was possible, but required stocks of fuel
to be stationed along the route.

So where did drivers of the newfangled gasoline vehicles get their fuel?

[image] Petro-Canada gas station, Crossfields, Alberta, with electric-car
charging station

At first, they had to have it shipped to stops along their route—often
pharmacies, which already sold kerosene, alcohol, and other combustible
liquids. There were no gas pumps of the sort a modern driver would
recognize.

Instead, the driver filled the car with a hand pump, usually at the curb,
that pumped gasoline into the car's gas tank from a metal storage tank at
whichever roadside business was willing to take delivery of the highly
flammable liquid.

Those hand pumps began to appear in 1907, just a few years after the turn of
the century—at a time when the U.S. car market was split among electric
cars, steam cars, and gasoline cars.

Buyers viewed electric cars as the most refined (and the only ones suitable
for women to drive), though they were limited by their range (less than 50
miles) and long recharging times.

Steam cars were smooth and powerful, but it took 30 to 45 minutes for the
boiler to produce sufficient steam pressure to drive the car after the fuel
was ignited.

Gasoline cars were the crudest, loudest, and smelliest, but the long range
provided by the energy density of liquid hydrocarbons worked in their favor.

[image] 1912 Cadillac Touring Edition

Then Charles Kettering's electric self-starter, introduced by Cadillac in
1912, made gasoline cars practical for everyone. The battery-powered motors
that turned over engines until they fired replaced hand cranks that could
break the thumbs, wrists, or arms of the drivers using them if they kicked
back.

From 1900 through the 1920s, drivers simply carried multiple 5-gallon cans
of gasoline on their cars—often strapped to the running boards—to ensure
they could cover the necessary distances.

That fact comes from a paywalled article in The Wall Street Journal.cited in
a post six years ago on Kate Kelly's "America Comes Alive" website.

Kelly notes, again from the Journal, that gasoline was also carried as a
side business on some of the trucks that delivered home heating oil to
residences.

But the motorists of 100 years ago still had to plan their trips carefully;
the growth of a nationwide network of regularly spaced fueling stations
would take place from 1915 through 1930.

The first modern gas station opened in Pennsylvania in 1913, and what came
to be called "service stations" had more than gas pumps: They sold oil,
tires, starter batteries, and offered repairs and service to locals and
travelers.

By 1920, a post on the University of Houston's "Engines of Our Ingenuity"
site notes America had 15,000 gas stations, plus half that number of
curbside pumps.

A decade later, that number was more than 100,000—and the curbside pumps
were all but extinct. By 1970, the U.S. had more than 200,000 gas stations.

There are now slightly more than 100,000, though stations have expanded from
two or three pumps to a dozen or more pumps. Meanwhile, they no longer make
money selling fuel.

Customer purchases of sugary sodas, salty snack foods, beer, cigarettes, and
lottery tickets are today's business model.

That said, drivers no longer have to plan ahead to ship fuel to businesses
along their routes.
