In the latest episode of the AVL Lunchtime Tech Talk we meet Michael Hirschler, the managing director of the AVL Racing owned Piezocryst company.
He talks about the crucial importance of sensor design and development in modern motorsport, from the practical everyday products to more involved applications being used in EV racing.
Piezocryst specialises its tech on several areas, notably with in-cylinder pressure measurement and development for combustion engines, and also the monitoring of combustion.
Hirschler discusses several topics with The Race’s Sam Smith, particularly in relation to torque measurements and also the phenomenal tolerances and frequencies that are put through the sensors at maximum endurance levels.
