Design of a Carbon Fibre Rim for a Fuel Efficient Competition Vehicle
Motivated by the persistently pursued weight reductions in a vehicle projected for a fuel efficiency competition, this thesis deals with designing new and lighter rims for the vehicle. The aim of the project is to design the rims with Continue reading
Bioclimatic House: Evaluation of solutions to Develop a Self-sustainable Dwelling in Nordic Countries
In European countries houses represents 36% of Co2 emissions. To reduce these emissions Bioclimatic housing is proposed. A series of solutions are studied in this project to Continue reading
Low-Cost Flywheel Energy Storage for Mitigating the Variability of Renewable Power Generation
In the past year, the researchers at the Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin (UT-CEM) and the Nanotech Institute at The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) began research efforts on Continue reading
Design of a Manually Operated Paper-Recycling Machine
A manually operated paper-recycling machine was designed and fabricated. This was done to enable waste paper conversion into useful product. The fabricated plant consists of six major component units that include the disc refiner, the hydropulper, the head box, the felt conveyor, the driers and the Continue reading
Kinetic Energy Recovery System by means of Flywheel Energy Storage
This paper deals with the design of Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) by means of Flywheel Energy Storages (FES). KERS by means of FES are currently under development both for motor sport and road hybrid vehicles. The aim of the work is the Continue reading
