Increasing energy demand and cost are the main motivators for this research project. Solar thermal energy is used to create mechanical motion. In turn, the mechanical motion drives a generator to generate electricity. The objective of this project is to use solar radiation to heat a black fined metal tank filed with air. The air is heated by the solar radiation and expands leaving the tank through...
Increasing energy demand and cost are the main motivators for this research project, which utilizes solar radiation for lighting interior spaces in buildings. The objective is to use passive solar radiation collection coupled with fiber optic bundles to provide natural lighting. The research team proposes a novel passive fiber optic lighting system design, which collects the abundant supply of free...
A major reason for not seeing many solar energy systems utilized for lighting is the high capital cost. This triggered us to design a novel Hybrid Fibre Optic Lighting System. The proposed system relies on the fact that light rays are free and can be harnessed without the use of expensive tracking systems requiring constant alignments. A successful system must respond to the following criteria. The...
Energy saving mechanism is the reason behind this research project that led us to design, develop and build a new evaporative air cooler unit with high efficiency and low power consumption. This was done by designing a new water distribution system that eliminated the water pump of the standard unit and modifying its mechanical parts. Also, design of an intelligent controller was added to optimize...
