3. Design Optimization of Savonius Wind Turbine using CFD Simulations
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för elektroteknikAbstract : This thesis is based on a simulation of the Savonius wind turbine. The Savoniusturbine is a simple vertical axis device, which has half cylindrical blades attached to the main shaft opposite to each other which creates the drag force from incoming wind and generates mechanical torque which drives the generator for electricity generation.

4. Investigation of a Novel Atmosphere-Breathing Electric Propulsion Platform and Intake
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO) provides many benefits for space missions, including better image resolution for Earth observation, better telecommunication link with ground stations, lower launch cost, lower risk of collisions, and fast end-of-life disposal. The last point in benefit is also the main challenge for placing satellites in VLEO. READ MORE
