Selection of temperature and power parameters for multi-modular lunar jet penetrator
The questions and the particularity of the choice of design parameters of multi-module lunar jet penetrators are considered. A constructive layout of the penetrator is proposed and the advantages of a multi-modular desig...
Tribological aspects of dynamic seals with O-rings used in aircraft hydraulic equipment
Depending on the operating parameters, a dynamic sealing system with O-rings can be in different friction modes: dry, limit, mixed or fluid. Modification of the friction mode occurs throughout the operating life, but als...
Control of unmanned aerial vehicles during fire situation monitoring
The issues of increasing the efficiency of fire situation monitoring are discussed, during which the search for objects of interest is being conducted to organize rescue operations and plan activities to fight the fire a...
A Rotary Wing System for Micro Air Vehicle Applications. Part 1
The goal of the paper is to propose a new type of ornithopter that avoids the mechanical difficulties of a flapping system. It uses a modified design of a cycloidal propulsor. The modification regards the special setting...
Small Vertical Axis Wind Turbines: aerodynamics and starting behavior
In urban areas the wind is very turbulent and unstable with fast changes in direction and velocity. In these environments, the use of small vertical axis wind turbines (VAWT) becomes increasingly attractive due to severa...
