Simple 3-D printable open source hardware designs have proven to be effective scientific instruments at low costs. Further development in this area is coupling open source electronics with 3-D printable mechanical components to make fully functional distributedly-manufactured mechatronic tools for science. One research area where such low-cost technology is needed is to characterize thin film anti-reflective coatings and transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) for the glass, mirror and solar pho...
Abstract Production of biogas energy is one of the important technical solutions that contribute to the transformation of energy system from being fossil fuel dependent to renewable energy originated. Thus, comprehensive understanding of biogas energy is necessary in order to develop an accurate and robust model that will predict and control the biogas production. This research paper develops a fuzzy logic controller model for biogas generation of electrical energy. A fuzzy logic algorithm w...
Unmanned aerial vehicles have been around for decades, but they have achieved the greatest popularity in recent years with small commercial drones. The new so-called FPV (first person view) technology gave us a unique experience of flying and the advancement of GPS systems in drones opened a whole new world for passionate individuals. Of course, drones are not the only RC flying devices on the market, but their agile multi-rotors and their capability to take amazing photos and record stunning...
