Cryostat Control: Real time control for a cryogenic refrigerator

In order to measure the spectrum of radio emissions from galaxies and other deep space objects, a new superconducting spectrometer, working at very cold temperatures close to the absolute zero, is developed. An advanced cooling system called a cryostat is used to cool down the spectrometer. The cool down of the cryostat involves the control of...

UVC Seed Sterilization BSc Thesis: Software and Control

In this thesis for the Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, a Control Unit (PCB and software) is designed for inside the UVC Seed Disinfection Machine of Team UVO. The machine consists of four modules: the Control Unit, the LED Driver, the motor controller and the power supply. The Control Unit allows a user to input the intensity per...

eVTOL design, Control System

In a world with limited resources and a growing awareness of the destructive effects greenhouse gasses, the concept of sustainability is becoming more and more prominent in research. Some of the biggest polluters are the aerial shipping and travel industries, for this reason it is vital that they become more sustainable. Therefore a transition...

Measurement Light Bulb: Control

This document describes the design process the prototype of a measurement light bulb which is able to project spherical harmonics of orders 0-1-2. Photographs of these projections can be combined to represent many light distributions. The measurement light bulb can be used in the field of research focused on the computation of the illumination...
