REM

Recover of Energy from fluid Mechanics for internet of things and remote sensing

Sector

Energy

Product/Objective

Recovery of Mechanical Energy from fluids to feed and Internet of Things (IoT) node that monitors diesel-engine exhaust gases.

Project Summary

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.

Innovation

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.

ES Role

EnginSoft is the project coordinator and will conduct the FSI (fluid structure interaction) and system simulation activities.

Research project

GAP

Ghise e leghe di Alluminio ad elevate Prestazioni per componenti innovativi

L’innovatività del progetto GAP consiste nello sviluppo di materiali metallici innovativi, con potenzialità applicative multi-settoriali, incrementate dalla sperimentazione di nuove tecnologie specifiche (utilizzo di anime ceramiche per la pressocolata, trattamenti superficiali, metodologie di giunzione).

Research project

YOGA

Pozzetti miniaturizzati per la coltura di tessuto cartillagineo per la diagnosi e medicina personalizzate dell’osteoartrite e Your Arthritis Goes Away

YOGA sviluppa una piattaforma semiautomatizzata e standardizzata rivolta a qualsiasi laboratorio clinico impegnato nella caratterizzazione dei tessuti da biopsia quando il materiale disponibile è molto poco.available.

Research project

OScaR

Optical SCAn-and-Repair solution for machine tools

The final goal of the project is to define a technology solution to repair metal components. End users require an automated or semi-automated solution for mounting a part of partially unknown shape into a machine, measuring the relevant part of its surface in 3D and automatically generating a repair program to restore it to the desired shape.
