Optimisation de l’enroulement amortisseur et de l’épanouissement polaire des grands alternateurs hydrauliques

Ce projet a pour objectif d’améliorer les alternateurs que l’on retrouve dans les barrages hydroélectriques. Les travaux se concentrent sur la partie tournante de l’appareil et plus spécifiquement dans la région qu’on appelle l’épanouissement des pôles du rotor, soit la partie près de l’entrefer. Cette région de l’alternateur est le siège de phénomènes complexes qui […]

Demonstration of the feasibility and added value of active adaptive triggers in handheld controllers

The PlayStation 5 DualSense controllers have popularized the concept of adaptive triggers that feel different depending on the virtual mechanism that they control. While these adaptive triggers are limited to resisting a finger’s movements, this project will explore more advanced active adaptive triggers that produce both pushing and pulling forces against the finger. The project […]

Corrosion evaluation of pipeline steels in H2O-saturated s-CO2 environments

We are studying how to transport CO2 efficiently and safely after capturing it from places like power plants. To do this, we have to compress the CO2 above a specific point to avoid any problems during transportation. But this compressed CO2 can be very corrosive and harmful to the materials used in pipelines, especially steel. […]
