  1. 11. Dynamics and electronics of a manually chargeable quadcopter for steady-state flight

    University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för innovation, design och teknik

    Author : Ioannis Kantsaporidis; Sadeq Al-Attar; [2017]
    Keywords : Rechargeable quadcopter; back emf; momentum theory; sustainability; battery performance; thrust; power;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis is to investigate how the onboard battery of a quadcopter can be charged through manual rotation of its motors, while understanding the resulting aerodynamical forces acting on the rotors during hover, as well as considering the changes in thrust capabilities when the electronic and structural design are altered. A theoretical approach using the momentum theory will present a general understanding of rotor performance whilst describing the correlation between rotor parameters, thrust and mechanical power.

  2. 12. Aerodynamic performance of a wind-turbine rotor by means of OpenFOAM

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Evangelos Giannopoulos; [2017]
    Keywords : wind turbine; rotor; performance; CFD model; boundary layer; roughness;

    Abstract : In order for wind-farm operators to deal with challenges regarding their fleet management, it is useful for them to estimate their units’ performance for different conditions. To perform such estimations, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) may be used. READ MORE

  3. 13. Lifting body design and CFD analysis of a novel long range pentacopter, the TILT LR drone

    University essay from KTH/Mekanik

    Author : Daniel Cagatay; Haoqian Yuan; [2016]
    Keywords : Lifting body; CFD; Mesh; Multi-rotor; Drone; Aerodynamic; Simulation;

    Abstract : In the thesis, a lifting body has been designed aiming to generate lift force for the pentacopter, called TILT LR (Long Range), at higher velocities during flights to improve the aerodynamic performances. The configuration, which is used as the skeleton of the long range drone for up to 75 kilometers flights, is based upon a tilting system allowing the rotors to rotate around their own axis in both pitch and roll angles.

  4. 14. Balancing of an inverted pendulum through adjusting angle and thrust of propellers

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

    Author : HANNA DOTEVALL; PHILIP PULLI; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Robotics and autonomous systems are today progressing at a very fast pace and can be seen in our everyday life, both in industry and society. A popular topic among researches in the field of robotics is the inverted pendulum due to its naturally unstable system. READ MORE

  5. 15. A method for measuring Crank Angle resolved Thrust Loads

    University essay from KTH/Energiteknik

    Author : Janakiraman Thiyagarajan; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This thesis report elucidates the experimental and analytical methods of determining the axial thrust loads of a twin scroll turbocharger mounted on a 6-cylinder diesel engine, tested at Scania CV AB, Sodertalje. Literature survey revealed several methods to experimentally determine the thrust loads but the concept of using strain gauges was nally selected. READ MORE
