Energy
Recovery of Mechanical Energy from fluids to feed and Internet of Things (IoT) node that monitors diesel-engine exhaust gases.
The project proposes the development of a system to recover kinetic energy from easily accessible sources in order to make it immediately available for equipment in daily use (e.g. sensors for wearable devices, very low power actuators, low range wireless transmitters, etc.), whose need to be as energy independent as possible is propelling a rigorous search for appropriate technological solutions.
The proposed energy recovery system is based on an innovative technology composed of recyclable and environmentally friendly materials, which uses extremely flexible piezoelectric devices and very small dimensions to recover kinetic energy from gaseous fluids (e.g. wind, gases in pipes and air currents), but also from the movement of liquids (e.g. waves, sea and river currents), and which has virtually zero environmental and visual impact.
EnginSoft is the project coordinator and will conduct the FSI (fluid structure interaction) and system simulation activities.

Some of our competences in research and technology transfer
Research project
Obiettivo generale del progetto TECNOMED-HUB è quello di realizzare, sul territorio piemontese, una piattaforma tecnologica a supporto della ricerca medica 4.0, basata sull’integrazione delle piattaforme multi-omiche già presenti (ma facilmente implementabili ad altre tecnologie in futuro), con algoritmi di autoapprendimento, data mining e big data analytics.
Research project
Development of methodologies (and of laboratory version of a software platform designed to implement them), capable of supporting architects and engineers in designing eco-buildings characterized by an optimal compromise between environmental performance (in terms, for example, of the CO2 equivalent produced during their entire life-cycle) and costs
Research project
The SERENA project aims to develop a prototype propulsion system for a General Aviation-category aircraft based on hybrid power technologies (hydrogen-fueled cells, batteries, and super-capacitors).
