Med moderna mikroprocessorer kan motorstyrning göras i mjukvara. Ett mer konkret exempel är möjligheten att köra tvåfasstegmotorer med strömreglering. Redan med en enkel regulator kan mycket bra resultat uppnås. Stegmotor är en elektrisk motor som har fått sitt namn för att ett varv är uppdelat i ett antal lika stora steg. Antal steg/varv varierar och väljs utifrån motorns användningsområde. En s

Utvecklingen av anjonbytarmembran som kombinerar långvarig termokemisk stabilitet, hög hydroxidjonledningsförmåga med adekvata mekaniska egenskaper för alkaliskt elektrokemiskt system, är för närvarande ett brett forskningsområde. I det aktuella arbetet undersöker vi radikalpolymerisationen av allylamin, särskilt i organiska lösningsmedel, som uppnåddes genom direkt polymerisering av den protoneraThe development of anion-exchange membranes that combine long-term thermochemical stability, high hydroxide ion conductivity with adequate mechanical properties for alkaline electrochemical system, is currently a wide research area. In the present work, we investigate the radical polymerization of allylamine, especially in organic solvents, which was achieved by directly polymerizing the protonate

This thesis examines the relationship between the architect and its digital tools, from the perspective that technology constantly is evolving. We believe that the architect’s relationship with its tools changes with the advancement of technology. That being said, we developed an investigative methodology based on generative design that we later applied to a more conventional architectural project
