ENGINEERING THE FUTURE OF VERTICAL LIFT

Energy and the future

Energy and the future

Global energy demand is projected to grow between 11 percent (in the Continued Momentum scenario) and 18 percent (in the Slow Evolution scenario) by 2050. Most of this growth will come from emerging economies, where growing populations and a strengthening middle class will result in higher energy demand. [pdf]

Vertical axis wind turbine wind bowl

Vertical axis wind turbine wind bowl

A vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) is a type of where the main rotor shaft is set transverse to the wind while the main components are located at the base of the turbine. This arrangement allows the generator and gearbox to be located close to the ground, facilitating service and repair. VAWTs do not need to be pointed into the wind, which removes the need for wind-sensing and orie. [pdf]

Orthogonal thin film photovoltaics on vertical nanostructures

Orthogonal thin film photovoltaics on vertical nanostructures

Orthogonal photovoltaic devices are core-shell type structures consisting of thin film photovoltaic stack on vertical nanopillar scaffolds. These types of devices allow charge collection to take place in the radial direction, perpendicular to the path of light in the vertical direction. [pdf]

We like the clean, uncluttered aspect of the BESTÅ line, but we needed unusual access to the cabinet. . Besides the cost of the BESTÅ cabinet, it cost an extra single cabinet. We already had the glue and the profile was few euros. It took a couple of. . We love that it doesn’t look like a hack and that we could use all IKEA things. We did add a non-IKEA extra shelf, but that’s because we wanted one. [pdf]
