After working for a full semester on the Clarkson University Electric Snowmobile, I had the opportunity to witness the track of the snowmobile spinning for the first time. This snowmobile is built on a Polaris 600RR racing chassis and is fitted with a three phase AC motor and 200 lithium polymer batteries. This test was done a number of weeks before the snowmobile was taken to the SAE Clean Snowmobile Challenge. More information about the Clarkson University Electric Snomwobile team can be found here.
