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
RLW is emerging as a promising joining technology for sheet metal assembly due to benefits on several fronts including reduced processing time, (50-75%) and decreased factory floor footprint (50%), reduced environmental impact through energy use reduction (60%), and providing a flexible process base for future model introduction or product change.
Research project
The main aim of the project is to set out the knowledge and skills that a competent simulation engineer (CAE engineer) should possess, and to develop a set of tools that will enable engineers to develop, manage and certify their competencies within a wide range of industry sectors.
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
