| ReGen ; a Nordex Project |
|
I spent the first half of 2006 participating in a Nordex project in collaboration with the Svenska Yrkeshogskolan situated in Vaasa, Finland.
The project work focused on innovative ways of promoting renewable energy in coastal regions and stimulate the general interest about natural science, especially in the energy sector. The project group consisted of 11 students/engineers from northern Europe occupied in the fields of mechanical engineering, power electronics, computer engineering and electronical engineering.
I acted as the group leader through the frame defining period of the project and later stepped down to engage in more detailed work on the construction of a small working model of an energy fair.
The Energy Fair was designed to be placed on a fleet that could sail from harbor to harbor in the Nordic countries and work as a combination of a museum and an amusement park thus appeal to both kids and adults.
See the pictures of the fair below, and check out the project website.
