How can piezo elements recharge batteries using body movement?

Gulgun (Julie) Ibrahimova, Year 2 Engineering. Abstract Electricity plays a major role in everyone’s lives, and more recently scientists have been looking for more environmentally friendly ways to produce it. The topic of this paper is focused on generating electricity by incorporating piezo elements into shoe insoles. The insoles use the alternating current made by […]

A comparative analysis of Aerodynamic Characteristics between two wing Planform Models

Ingrid Wu, Year 2 Engineering. Abstract In aeronautics, understanding the components which allow aerodynamic stability of a wing is crucial in ensuring that little energy is wasted when moving forward. This work investigates three main factors which are critical to aircraft performance: angle of attack, planform shape and aspect ratio. Two different wing models, rectangular […]

Deep Learning based Object Detection Application for Fire Recognition in Video

Robin Yadav, Year 2 Engineering. Abstract Fire disasters are dangerous and damaging events that require accurate surveillance and monitoring for detection and mitigation. In this paper, I propose a video based fire detection system using the YOLOv3 object detection model. The model was trained on a dataset of approximately 3000 images of fire in various […]

Can Surface Tension Be Used to Create a Debris-Free Rain Gutter?

Xavier Lam, Year 2 Engineering. Abstract Due to the buildup of debris, it is necessary to regularly clean out gutters multiple times a year, which can be costly or dangerous for some people. This project aims to solve these problems with a gutter that uses the concept of surface tension to effectively block out debris […]

Investigating the Viability of a Piezoelectric Insole to Harvest Kinetic Energy

Flora Guo, Year 2 Engineering. Abstract: Inspired by the need for sustainable, compact power sources for wearable devices and novel LED light-up shoes, this project aims to design, build, and test a “proof-of-concept” piezoelectric insole. Four piezoelectric pads were attached to a foam insole and wired to bridge rectifiers in parallel. The output of the […]
