Engineering students from Ohio State made a trip out to the Bonneville Salt flats to see how fast their Lithium-ion battery-powered Buckeye Bullet 2.5 could go. With batteries provided by A123 Systems and engineering back-up from Venturi in Europe, the OSU team was ready to hit the salt. The OSU team was frustrated early on, however, by several aborted runs and days of heavy wind—finally completing just two clean passes this past Monday afternoon. The two runs the Bullet blitzed across the measured mile at 286 and 297 mph. Tuesday, the team made another two runs resulting in a new record: 307.7 mph.
