Renewable Energy

Postdoc in computational modelling of surface degradation and microplastics emission due to erosion of wind turbine blades - DTU Wind

Submitted by info@signatur.dk on

If you are keen on contributing to the green transition, envisioning a planet running entirely on renewable energy, and looking for the best possible environment for fulfilling your dreams and ambitions, it is right here in front of you.  At DTU Wind and Energy Systems we are pushing the research boundaries in the domain of advanced and reliable materials for wind energy applications, with focus on advanced materials for wind turbine blades, improving wind turbine performance, and ensuring more efficient maintenance and protection of wind turbines.

Two PhD positions in Aalto University

Submitted by Arttu Polojärvi on

Ice Mechanics Group at the Department of Mechanical Engineering of Aalto University is looking for two motivated doctoral students to work on numerical modeling and experiments on sea ice interacting with offshore wind farm. Novel numerical models for sea ice behavior and failure form a central part of the research by our group. Also we have a world unique experimental facility, Aalto Ice and Wave Tank.

Ultimate Linear Motion Mechanism For Clean Energy

Submitted by Jigar Y. Patel on

 

 

I apply force using one slider to another slider. Best part is one slider move little bit and help second slider to slide 6 times length at 70 % force.

Energy Used to move first slider=force*distance

=100N*0.05m

=5Nm

Energy Get on Other Slider= Force*Distance

=Force applied by first slider*cos(45`)*distance

=100*0.7*0.25

=17.5

We get 3 times energy on second slider than we use to move first slider.

ICE's Engineering and Computational Mechanics general call for papers!

Submitted by Rebecca Ratty on

Dear Colleague,



Engineering and Computational Mechanics is currently looking for papers on the theme of Disaster and Hazard engineering for publication in 2014. Sub-topics include risk analysis and pre-emptive disasters.

Other themes EACM is interested in are: Fluid Structure interaction especially ringing phenomenon; Energy and renewable energy including offshore and waves; and review papers covering the themes in the call for papers.

Cam Follower Prototype- GIF File

Submitted by Jigar Y. Patel on
This is my cam follower prototype for clean energy cheaper than coal. Cam is used to open and close valve of internal combustion engine. I am going to show you another use. In my cam follower system,

1. Follower is off set.

2. Force is applied from follower to cam. Since the follower is off set this force help cam to rotate.

3. We use energy(Input energy) to move follower and get energy(output energy) on cam.
