This week, we are trying to find more information about the fuel cell. Here is the summary of the information. Due to the growing concerns on the depletion of petroleum-based energy resources and climate change, fuel cell technologies have received much attention in recent years owing to their high efficiencies and low emissions. Factors such as durability and cost still …
Veni, vidi, vici Three words. One goal. The phrase means “I came, I saw, I conquered” and right now, we are in the process of seeing. Toy ideas are difficult to come by when you’re trying to incorporate every element of everybody’s childhood, when you’re trying to come up with the ideal concept, when you’re trying to make the perfect …
Our senior design project is an International Capston Design Project in which we hope to harness micro-meso scale energy using piezoelectric and triboelectric materials. This week we mainly focused on learning about the two technologies, how they work and what the benefits are of both. We discussed with our advisor on what the application would be before we started designing …
This blog will be an overall update to cover all the topics that would have been discussed in the previous blogs. Our team is in charge of the research, design, and implementation of renewable and sustainable energy resources to power a 6 kW data center. This is scaled to represent a 100 MW data center. Our faculty advisor, Dr. Jack …
On team HyperXite, we go beyond classroom learning and provide students with the skills of teamwork and manufacturing through designing, manufacturing and testing a product that has never been made before. We stretch the limits by providing students with the opportunity to communicate effectively the details of a component that does not exist yet and teach each other how each …
After researching what materials were needed, we showed our advisor what we planned to do with these materials. Our advisor approved the materials we had in mind and were purchased. In order to pick which materials we needed, we compared and contrasted the pros and cons of each material. Taking in consideration of the costs we purchased the materials which …
This week we discussed the goals and requirements of our project. Our advisor guided to us on what we needed to research and gave us some informative links. After that we presented what we had found to our advisor at the end of the week.
The Thermal Energy group is dedicated to design an efficient yet compact solar thermal energy storage (STES) system, and eventually create a prototype. Our research objective is to minimize the trade-off between renewable energy variations in order to expand the application of thermal energy storage beyond industrial utilization. Ultimately, our storage design will allow for all components to be scaled …
The concept of our project is using Fuel Cell-electrolyzer and water tank to produce battery. For recent plan, there are several task we need to do: 1) Collecting the information about electrolyzer, buy first and test its performance/efficiency; 2) Looking into places where can machine stainless steel; 3) Investigating a temperature controller, where place the electrolyzer in to test its …
Our project is fuel cell battery. The blog will report the process of our project, some fascinating details and the achievement of the project.
