Kyan Noordermeer | Electronics Engineer
I'm a part time electronics engineer at the 18th Forze Hydrogen Racing team, and an Electrical Engineering bachelor student at TU Delft.
At Forze, I get the opportunity to take part in promoting, what I believe to be, the best solution for reducing automotive emissions; hydrogen.
Hydrogen, being a highly energy dense fuel, will allow hydrogen cars to have a long range without needing a heavy, slow recharging battery, or any greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it an ideal sustainable fuel for motorsports, freight transport and any other automotive area requiring longer ranges. As hydrogen also works in hydrogen combustion engines aside from in fuel cells, it could be a sustainable alternative for car enthusiasts too.
As an electronics engineer, I work on designing, testing and improving the embedded system of our car, the Forze IX. Together with the other electronics engineers and in collaboration with other disciplines, we aim to have every electrical component in the car working together reliably, and for them to be resilient to racing conditions, be responsive, be safe, and be easy to work on. This position allows me to apply theory from my study at TU Delft, and gain practical experience working together with multiple disciplines, in a field that I love; cars and motorsport.
