who are
00:00:07
i think it started with an optimisation problem as we have been told at the beginning of this presentation
00:00:14
but once you have the solution of optimisation problem you need to implement that solution
00:00:19
in here we get to our job as are proportional limitation teen speakers
00:00:27
we have several constraints based on that optimisation problem we have to
00:00:31
respect them all the ways all work is completely useless and
00:00:37
something that are interesting is it that we could think okay we're in
00:00:42
power are the main saw constraint will be on your power but
00:00:48
we also need to integrate our system and apart physical part was mechanic
00:00:54
all constraints um so we need to work was mechanical engineers because
00:01:00
they'll tell us okay you can put it here on not you can transfer your power in that way or not mechanically speaking
00:01:08
that's first point that's real important moreover we needs a control of
00:01:11
our system otherwise it's just me silent rockets are basically as
00:01:17
ah then stole we are not allowed to trash at the end of the tube
00:01:23
so basically we need to control so we need to work with the control team with the or two piles because it's
00:01:28
not of a default apollo but if the power system does not respond unfortunately show less and it'll be all falls
00:01:36
so we have the first main challenge of integration of integrating
00:01:42
our design of our subsistence into the entire part
00:01:48
then another thing that's come is um in mind when we have to design such systems is
00:01:57
maximise the board inside we her evil they quite often the terms
00:02:02
energy density with electrical vehicles long range article vehicles energy
00:02:06
density is um measurement of how much energy you can fit
00:02:10
within a certain volume or shouldn't mess of storage
00:02:17
for the powered something similar
00:02:19
or is basically the rates of conversion of energy from one
00:02:24
form of energy basically or storage can be anything want
00:02:28
q. something else another form of energy and kayla transportation mode operation products
00:02:35
basically it's kinetic energy energy that's related to speed and if
00:02:40
you want something that goes fast you need to give
00:02:43
to that thing a lot of speed a lot of kinetic energy so you need
00:02:48
to do that as fast as possible so accelerates as fast as possible
00:02:54
so you need to have a huge conversion ratio between
00:02:58
your input energy annual output energy that's the power
00:03:03
so then
00:03:06
we know also from our uh british gentleman that's our discovered a few centuries
00:03:11
ago ah he's cool exactly ten maybe you've heard of him um
00:03:17
that's acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass so i
00:03:22
know the key point to accelerate is basically
00:03:27
to reduce the mass because as you may know for two card that will have a engines of the same power
00:03:36
probably the one with the lightest will accelerate faster than the other
00:03:39
one so that's not a key points and basically why linking
00:03:45
power and mass you end up with power density how much
00:03:48
power you can i gets from my system forgiven mess
00:03:53
so our job as propulsion and levitation teen but also for the energy team uh
00:04:00
that's uh i uh converts light for the amazing job is to reduce
00:04:07
the mass for and extract more power of the system and it's always like that that you can achieve our
00:04:16
will class records or system so basically look to white sport density to win the competition
00:04:25
finally we have another phones back you
00:04:30
because as you maybe know or not not all components can withstand vacuum
00:04:36
are for example usually i'll leaving our object such
00:04:41
as humans or animals uh cannot withstand like
00:04:45
it but also some components cannot with them so we have to think about that
00:04:50
another key point as the heating because all system have losses
00:04:56
even the best propulsion system that can imaging will always have losses losses are basically just heat
00:05:03
when you are driving your car or writing train or something like that they all losses it end up propulsion system
00:05:12
but you have air around your vehicle so we can just transferred up excess heat to the air
00:05:19
and that's all
00:05:20
but just think the minutes
00:05:23
when you when that high pulled chip or such system
00:05:29
you don't have endured air cooled down or system
00:05:34
and the the main problem we have in that case
00:05:38
is that we don't want the passengers to be cooked
00:05:43
or maybe if you're transporting a fresh fish you want so she's at the end if it's got it's all over
00:05:50
ah yes i'm french alike face sorry um
00:05:56
basically so we have to think about those problems it's always an iterative problem because once was solution we need to see
00:06:04
if we can integrate it but maybe the integration will decrease all poured in city
00:06:09
so we will need to find another way to do it but maybe we'll start to think okay
00:06:15
is my system vacuum proof on us and like that we do an iterative process and our thanks
00:06:22
to michael likes and twice advises we have in mind how to do that now because
00:06:30
work is quite a useful tool when it's the goal is to reach high speeds
00:06:36
so
00:06:38
the key point is always think
00:06:41
how can accelerate my port and maximise my poured into
00:06:45
a box i've some constraints of design all around
00:06:51
i would like also to um thank our sponsors for their amazing
00:06:57
support our first i would like to thank the good but
00:07:00
they can figure out there was an and the all the presidency are all the people that i've helpless all that
00:07:08
school what it's important thanks for being here tonight i think we can oppose you ha
00:07:16
ha
00:07:21
it's a beautiful adventure and basically all that we feel that all the school with with uh with us in that project and
00:07:28
all this country where event is out with doesn't that project and that's why something beautiful
00:07:34
also like to frank ah that from that show what is it should only
00:07:38
be f. l. agrees giving us on mason's report it surely something um
00:07:44
good place entrap such ah sponsors behind us also like to frank on
00:07:48
national instruments console limo or that's and uh the pro shape
00:07:54
forty both technical and all the things supports and that's really amazing i will like
00:08:00
to uphold them because hospitals are really good home actually ah ha and i
00:08:08
so how change very much are for your attention
