Electrical energy from solar cells supplies an electrolyser. The gases generated by the PEM electrolyser - hydrogen and oxygen - are sent directly to the PEM fuel cell. The electrical energy generated is used to drive a small motor. The solar cells can be irradiated by a 120-watt lamp or sunlight.

Elektrische Energie von Solarzellen versorgt einen Elektrolyseur. Die vom PEM-Elektrolyseur erzeugten Gase, Wasserstoff und Sauerstoff, werden direkt in die PEM-Brennstoffzelle geleitet. Die erzeugte elektrische Energie versorgt einen kleinen Motor. Zur Beleuchtung der Solarzellen kann eine 120-W-Lampe oder Sonnenlicht eingesetzt werden.

A model house with replaceable side walls is used for determining the heat transition coefficients (k values) of various walls and windows and for establishing the heat conductivities of different materials. For this purpose the temperatures on the inside and outside of the walls are measured at a constant interior and outer air temperature (in the steady state).

To wrap up our summer, the student researchers put together posters to present what we had been working on for the previous few months. This took place in August, 2012. I am shown standing next to the poster that I presented. However, there were many more research topics I spent time on that I did not present on, I was kept quite busy during this co-op.

This set-up shows how blood flow studies are performed using Doppler ultrasound (Doppler sonograph). On a realistic arm dummy, the differences between continuous (venous) and pulsating (arterial) flow are shown as well as the difference in flow through a normal blood vessel and a stenosis.

Blutflussuntersuchungen können mit Hilfe von Doppler-Ultraschall durchgeführt werden (Doppler-Sonografie). An einem realistischen Armmodell werden die Unterschiede zwischen kontinuierlichem (venösem) und pulsatilem (arteriellem) Fluss sowie zwischen normalem Blutfluss und einer Stenose gezeigt.

This experiment explains the principle behind the use of a parabolic trough in the heating of liquids and the benefits it offers. A parabolic trough enables a larger share of incident energy to be utilised. It so increases the efficiency of the apparatus.

Dieser Versuch verdeutlicht das Prinzip der Erwärmung von Flüssigkeiten mithilfe einer Parabolrinne und deren Vorteile. Durch die Parabolrinne ist es möglich, einen größeren Anteil der eintreffenden Energie zu nutzen, dies steigert den Wirkungsgrad der Apparatur.

Similarly to solar energy, wind energy is a regenerative form of energy. It differs in that it has been used by man for centuries, for example, in windmills, in which it is converted to mechanical energy. In recent times, wind power plants have been brought to use for the generation of electric energy.

Windenergie ist wie die Sonnenenergie eine regenerative Energieform, nur dass diese bereits seit Jahrhunderten vom Menschen genutzt wird. Früher hat man die Windenergie in mechanische Energie, wie zum Beispiel bei Windmühlen, umgewandelt.

The properties of the micro-organism Zymomonas mobilis have been used in the production of alcohol for centuries. Nevertheless, the bacterium in palm wine and pulque, the fermented juice of the agave plant, was not identified and recognised as being responsible for their alcoholic fermentation until the twentieth century.

Die Eigenschaften des Mikroorganismus Zymomonas mobilis werden bereits seit Jahrhunderten für die Herstellung von Alkohol genutzt. Jedoch konnte erst im zwanzigsten Jahrhundert das Bakterium in Palmwein und Pulque, dem gärenden Saft der Agave identifiziert und für die alkoholische Gärung verantwortlich gemacht werden. Zymomonas erwies sich als wesentlich effektiver in der Ethanolsynthese als die Hefe.

Solar Impulse is a Swiss long-range solar powered aircraft project being undertaken at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne. The project eventually hopes to achieve the first circumnavigation of the Earth by a piloted fixed-wing aircraft using only solar power. The project is led by Swiss psychiatrist and aeronaut Bertrand Piccard, who co-piloted the first balloon to circle the world non-stop, and Swiss businessman André Borschberg.

Piccard initiated the Solar Impulse project in 2003. By 2009, he had assembled a multi-disciplinary team of 50 specialists from six countries, assisted by about 100 outside advisers. The project is financed by a number of private companies. The four main partners are Deutsche Bank, Omega SA, Solvay, and Schindler. Other partners include Bayer MaterialScience, Altran, Swisscom and Swiss Re (Corporate Solutions). Other supporters include Clarins, Semper, Toyota, BKW and STG. The EPFL, the European Space Agency (ESA) and Dassault have provided additional technical expertise, while Bay Area based SunPower provided the aircraft's photovoltaic cells.

The solar ray collector is illuminated with a halogen lamp of known light intensity. The heat energy absorbed by the collector can be calculated from the volume flow and the difference in the water temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the absorber, if the inlet temperature stays almost constant by releasing energy to a reservoir.

Der Sonnenkollektor wird von einer Halogenlampe mit bekannter Lichtintensität beleuchtet. Die Wärme, die vom Kollektor aufgenommen wird, kann berechnet werden aus dem Volumenstrom und dem Unterschied in der Wassertemperatur am Eingang und am Ausgang des Absorbers, wenn die Eingangstemperatur (durch Wärmeabgabe an ein Reservoir) nahezu konstant bleibt.
