CFD analysis from Neptuno Submarine

The Engineer Frank Lumpitzsch from the Technical University Berlin kindly offered his experiences providing a Computer Fluid dynamic analysis from the my graduation Project, the Submarine Neptuno. He analysed how much drag the submarine has underwater, if it has a tendency to go up or down when the body of the submarine is pushed foward and so on…. For my happyness the results were very good and are going to help a lot the further development of this kind of submarine.

The 60 pages of the results alog with videos are going to be available soon at the project´s page.

Thank you Frank!

Carbon-Fiber Skateboard Test

This was small exaple of product development collaboration:

Last year we received a beautiful carbon skateboard deck from a material research institute in the University of Clausthal in Germany. Our job was to test it and say what we think of the new board because those guys from the institute are good in making things light, but they don´t know nothing about riding boards! The riders: Nico Hopp, Lars Mayer, Simon Schlör and myself have had lots of fun helping them understanding what was good and what could be better in the board. We made a nice video that was send to the university researchers with images of the board in action together with each riders toughts. The video will be posted soon here in Lets Evo Blog.
