Chemical Engineers Develop Revolutionary Device to Harvest Hydrogen from Thin Air

Smore Science

The question of “What will be the next big source of energy?” A new technology developed by chemical engineers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne might be a contender for the next-gen fuel. In a way, they absorb solar energy and store it in form of sugars. Only 12% of solar energy is converted to hydrogen.

Race Cars and Missile Tests: An Overview of Computational Fluid Dynamics

STEMe

Compared to the other two more traditional methods, one of which is solving complex equations by hand, CFD is the most cost-effective and efficient method, meaning it can be applied to a variety of engineering fields on a much larger scale. Finally, engineers will attempt to integrate these variable measurements into the physical prototype.
