Pressure Weighbridge & Air-Based Weighing Systems
Our innovative weighbridge project is centered around using air pressure as the primary medium for load detection. This next-generation weighing system leverages pneumatic sensors to detect variations in pressure caused by load application. The system is designed for industrial, transport, and agricultural applications where traditional load cells face challenges related to sensitivity, maintenance, or cost.
By replacing conventional mechanical or strain-gauge-based systems with pressure-based sensors, we achieve more durable, cost-effective, and low-maintenance solutions for load measurement.
Benefits of Air-Based Weighing Systems:
- Enhanced durability with fewer moving parts
- Lower maintenance due to absence of strain elements
- Cost-effective manufacturing and calibration
- Greater resilience to shock loads and vibrations
- Scalable for both portable and permanent installations
- Real-time data logging and integration with IoT systems
Multi-Rotor Generator Systems
This research explores the development of a high-efficiency electrical generator equipped with multiple rotors operating on a shared or modular stator framework. The goal is to enhance energy generation density and allow dynamic load balancing across rotor assemblies, which is particularly valuable in wind and hydro energy applications.
Multi-rotor generators promise significant gains in power-to-weight ratio, modular redundancy for reliability, and improved energy conversion efficiency. This project involves prototyping, magnetic field optimization, torque balancing, and real-time control system integration.
Applications range from renewable power plants to mobile off-grid systems. Our team is currently simulating magnetic coupling performance and thermal distribution across different configurations.
