Stories of DEMO

Shiver

SHIVER is the name of the consortium project by Delft University of Technology, Aalto University and Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy, with funding by TKI Offshore wind energy. The goal is to develop an advanced calculation model that can be used in the design and optimisation of offshore wind turbines.

Wheel Rail test

A new, small-scale test installation has been designed to study Rolling Contact Fatigue (RCF), the metal fatigue that occurs due to the contact between railway tracks and the wheels of rolling stock. This new installation aims to enable better analysis of rail performance during rolling contact, providing more insight into RCF defects in particular.

MRI

MRI scans can be made simpler and more affordable. Andrew Webb, Professor of MRI Physics at LUMC, is developing low-cost mobile MRI scanners that can be deployed in developing countries to detect hydrocephalus.

Novair Project

The NOVAIR project studies how hybrid/electric aircraft configurations can be designed more efficiently. The use of several small, electrically powered propellers can increase efficiency, but this leads to interaction effects that must first be studied, before we are able to say anything about the aircraft.

ORCHID-setup

In the ORCHID setup, a circuit is created in which an organic fluid flows, acting as a liquid in the low-temperature section and as a dense vapor in the high-temperature section.

Gyroscoop

The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (ME) is conducting research on using gyroscopic assistance to maintain balance, with DEMO being closely involved in the project.

Electrometer

The Water Phantom setup with Electrometer was delivered and tested by DEMO at Holland PTC. This setup allows the intensity of a proton beam to be measured at various positions within a water tank.

Flameless Combustion

The Water Phantom setup with Electrometer was delivered and tested by DEMO at Holland PTC. This setup allows the intensity of a proton beam to be measured at various positions within a water tank.
