Abstract

Electric vehicles are vehicles that are driven by electric motors using electrical energy derived from battery energy sources. Like most other electric vehicles, electric prototype vehicles are also controlled using throttle pedals on the steering wheel and also the braking system. This study also aims to determine how much electrical energy consumption is used in the vehicle, by varying the gear ratio and vehicle weight. The test method was carried out by releasing the throttle when the vehicle reached maximum speed, with the aim of being able to produce a lower level of energy consumption with higher efficiency. Gear ratio variations used were 6.43; 7.56; 8.57; 9.08 and 10.20 and vehicle weight variations used were 120.5 kg; 130.5 kg and 140.5 kg. The results of the test show that if the smaller the gear ratio used and the heavier the load from the vehicle, the greater the energy required. The results of this study indicate that, vehicles with lighter weight and with the use of larger gear ratio variations can reduce the consumption of electrical energy used. And can increase higher energy efficiency, so as to increase the maximum mileage range of the vehicle. The findings from this study can also provide additional information and valuable insights in the development of more efficient electric vehicles in the future.

Abstract

Continuously variable transmission (CVT) technology is currently something that is very commonly used in motorcycles for various reasons of practicality in use. This encourages the importance of CVT technology literacy in motorcycles to emerge in this context, because the CVT system has characteristics that inherently support fuel efficiency. CVT allows riders to enjoy smooth transmission ratio changes without the need for manual gear shifting. This is an advantage especially in urban traffic situations that often involve stop-and-go patterns, where the CVT system can keep the engine operating at an efficient speed. However, in order for the benefits of CVT to be felt to the maximum, riders need to understand how this technology works. CVT technology literacy includes knowledge of how to use the CVT system optimally, avoiding riding styles that can put excessive stress on the transmission, and understanding the maintenance needed to maintain CVT performance. Riders who are educated in CVT technology will apply fuel-efficient riding techniques, such as avoiding sudden acceleration or unnecessary braking, which will not only increase fuel efficiency but also extend the life of the CVT. In addition, regular maintenance, such as checking and replacing the CVT belt according to schedule, can prevent premature damage and ensure that the motorcycle continues to operate at its best performance. With adequate literacy, riders can not only save fuel and operational costs, but also support environmental sustainability by reducing emissions. Therefore, increasing public understanding of CVT technology is a strategic step to create more technologically aware and responsible motorcycle users.

Abstract

Borok Toyang Village, located in the West Sakra District, East Lombok Regency, has a very high potential for livestock farming, especially cattle and goats. However, farmers still face difficulties in providing high-quality feed for their livestock to ensure optimal growth and productivity. The traditional feed used reduces livestock growth and increases production costs. To address this issue, the socialization of elephant grass fermentation, a better livestock feed innovation, was carried out. This activity involves initial observation, socialization, and direct training for farmers in Borok Toyang Village. Observation was conducted to determine the condition of the farms and the feeding patterns. The training included the direct preparation of fermented feed, and socialization was provided through seminars and open discussions about the benefits of fermentation. The results of the activities show that farmers have a better understanding of the importance of innovation in providing livestock feed. It has been proven that the fermentation of elephant grass accelerates livestock growth, improves the nutritional quality of feed, and reduces dependence on expensive commercial feed. Additionally, this method helps ensure the availability of quality feed, especially during the dry season. Some farmers have expressed interest in adopting this method independently and plan to form small groups to share experiences in its implementation. Farmers in Borok Toyang Village hope to independently produce more livestock, reduce production costs, and enhance the village's economic resilience through livestock farming with this socialization and training.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of oil type on exhaust gas temperature and fuel consumption in a 125cc 4-stroke motorcycle. Three kinds of SAE 10W-40 oil were used: mineral, semi-synthetic, and full synthetic. Tests were conducted at idle with varying rpm and while cruising at varying speeds. Temperature was measured using a thermo gun, while fuel consumption was measured using a burette. Results showed that full synthetic oil produced the most stable temperature and lowest fuel consumption, while mineral oil demonstrated the highest temperature and consumption, especially at high rpm. This efficiency is attributed to the chemical characteristics and thermal stability of the full synthetic oil. This study provides a novel contribution by testing a classic air-cooled motorcycle under static and dynamic conditions, thus better reflecting real-world use.

Abstract

Internal combustion engines remain the primary power source in transportation by converting fossil fuel energy into mechanical energy. This study examines the effect of piston dome height variations (1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm) on the performance of a 4-stroke 87.70 cc engine. A quantitative method was used with a rope brake dynamometer to measure torque, adequate power, fuel consumption, and SFCe, effective at engine speeds ranging from 2000 to 5000 rpm. The highest torque and power were recorded at 4000 rpm, the highest fuel consumption at 5000 rpm, and the highest SFCe at 2000 rpm for all dome height variations. As piston dome height increases, combustion chamber volume decreases, leading to lower compression ratios and reduced combustion efficiency. Therefore, piston design should be aligned with the intended focus on either efficiency or performance.

Abstract

The development of electric vehicles as a sustainable transportation alternative is rapidly advancing, driven by the need to reduce exhaust emissions and fossil fuel consumption. The efficiency of electric vehicles is not only determined by technical components such as electric motors, batteries, and control systems, but also by the driver's behavior during operation. This study aims to analyze the influence of driver behavior on energy efficiency in a prototype electric vehicle. The test was conducted within the campus environment of Universitas Mataram on a track with various conditions, including flat roads, curves, slight inclines, and speed bumps. Three drivers participated in the experiment, each completing three driving sessions with full freedom to drive without limitations set by the researcher. The results of the study show that driving behavior has a significant impact on energy consumption. Drivers with high speeds and aggressive acceleration tend to consume more energy. In contrast, drivers who adopted efficient driving techniques were able to save energy significantly. These findings confirm that driver behavior is an important factor in the design and development of energy-efficient electric vehicles.
