A coreless field adjustable motor and complementary WPM (synchronous rectification) were utilized in order to assure aerodynamic analysis and CAE analysis as well as to provide a light weight, high rigidity body construction, and then the car was loaded with ultra-low power and an ultra-lightweight controller. Furthermore, this helped to provide added capacitor voltage and a degree of freedom, and in order to create a broader range of strategies, the car was then loaded with an automatic buck-boost formula as a microcomputer formula with an independent DC/DC converter.
