Vorstellung - Team DEW
Hydrogen Multicopter
In several teams, students are designing a multicopter whose propulsion system uses hydrogen as an energy source. The "Multicopter" team is responsible for the aerodynamic and structural mechanical design of the unmanned aircraft and defines the requirements for the hydrogen propulsion system. Based on this, the "H2 fuel cell" and "H2 gas turbine" teams develop competing propulsion concepts for the multicopter.
Technological and economic considerations will determine which concept is ultimately designed, built and tested by the "Prototype" team. The results of the "System Integration" team, which is designing the on-board electrical system, including electrical buffer storage and consumers, will also be taken into account.
The project is supervised by the following institutions:
Hydrogen Basics in the Student Laboratory
In order to gain a deeper understanding of the production and use of hydrogen, students in the "Production and Use of Oxyhydrogen" laboratory use electrolysis to produce a hydrogen-oxygen mixture (oxyhydrogen), which is then burned.
Relevant process variables are measured and the resulting material flows are balanced. In the "Hydrogen combustion temperatures" laboratory, the influence of admixed water vapor on the hydrogen combustion temperature is investigated. By selectively reducing the combustion temperature, the formation of harmful nitrogen oxide emissions can be reduced or even completely avoided.
In this way, the students learn the tools for the controlled combustion of hydrogen and, through their own experience, reduce prejudices regarding the applicability and operational safety of hydrogen. The project is supervised by the Institute for Technical Combustion (ITV).
Innovation network for sustainably oriented companies
In regular "H2-Meetups" current results of the student teams are presented and new projects of the institutes as well as regional companies are introduced. The annual Hydrogen Congress Hannover also provides a platform for exchange within a close-knit innovation network.
Further news about the Hydrogen Campus and the Hydrogen Innovation Network will be presented at regular intervals on this homepage.
