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.

CLOSE

CLOSE TO THE EARTH

The ultimate goal of the project is to “open” a new operating area in Space, namely that of Very Low Earth Orbits (VLEO), or orbits between 160 and 250km in altitude.

TECNOMED HUB

TECNiche multi-OMiche nelle scienze mEDicHe: intelligenza artificiale a supporto della salUte puBblica

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.
