Design and Development of Transmission and Braking Systems in Go-kart

Abstract

We have completed this paper as per rulebook of kart racing competition. It involves 5 different departments which are Transmission, Roll cage, Brake, Steering, Wiring. This karting has no suspension and differential. It is generally recognized as small scale or economic way of motor sport. Transmission is the most important system in any vehicle. In go kart, there is no differential therefore we have to transmit power directly to shaft. Braking is a system which is used to stop transmitting power at instant. This involves stopping revolving transmission shaft by applying force on pedal.
