We research advanced solutions in renewable energy, aerospace and defence (terrestrial, aerial, space and marine) collaborating with European Manufacturers, Research Institutes and Universities.
Advanced propulsion system for satellites using hydrogen/oxygen produced in space through distillation
Applying advanced technology for manufacturing of very thin Laval nozzles for satellites using low melting temperature alloys
Firstly interior of Laval nozzle is manufactured.
Then, low melting temperature is poured in the Laval nozzle for keeping it rigid. Finally the exterior of Laval nozzle is machined. Very thin wall Laval nozzles are manufactured in this way at a high precision.
The meshed injector concept for fuel and burning noise reduction at aviation turbines
We started research of a new
type of injector called 'Meshed Injector'. The 'Meshed Injector' is composed of
a special system of meshes which generates very fine successive vortexes in the
air-fuel mixture before burning. This type of injector can reduce burning noise with ~7 dB and improve air-fuel mixture homogeneity leading to improving of burning efficiency and CO and
NOx noxes decreasing (see the photos below)
Preliminary measurements of flame noise without mesh system
Preliminary measurements made on a propane flame indicated 77 dB in nearfield.
Measurements of flame noise when mesh system is applied
Research started for low noise propulsion system and high efficiency for passenger aircraft
Our team is able to propose new solutions in aeroacoustics: jet noise reduction, frame noise reduction, landing gear reduction, fan and compressor noise reduction, core noise reduction.
Other research in progress:
- Terrestrial drones (see below the Example A)
- Manufacturing of small light-weight Mylar parachutes for aerial and space applications (satellite braking-see below the Example B)
- Marine defence solutions:
--> marine mines de-mining solutions (see below the
Example C);
--> non conventional propulsion for underwater
drones (see below the Example D)
Example A: Unconventional terrestrial drone with a special launching and moving system
Example B: Simple Mylar parachutes for space and aerial applications
