This paper describes the development of an wave energy convertor. We devise a new type of the wave energy convertor which generates electricity by means of under-water pressure oscillation. This wave energy convertor is installed on the seabed floor. That is, there is no exposed body on the surface of the sea. The wave energy convertor comprises an activated assembly which is adapted to be displaced in response to water pressure oscillation to vary the volume of bellows cavity and a power take off assembly which generates electricity in response to movement of the activated assembly.

Wave energy generation systems can be divided into oscillating water chamber type, over topping device type and wave activating body type. The wave activating body type converts wave energy to kinetic energy, and the power generation amount increases as the motion of an activating body increases. In this paper, the wave energy convertor consists of a main body, which has an H-shape, and the activating body. These are connected by a bar-type bridge. By the incident wave, when the activating body moves with vertical motion this motion is consequently converted into rotational motion. The twisting moment and angular velocity at a shaft of convertor are calculated according to various conditions of the incident wave and the shape of the activating body. This can be used as a basic idea for determining the design of wave activating body type convertor.

A new isolated boost dc to dc convertor suitable for a low input voltage application is proposed. The proposed convertor features the low switch current stresses, the wide input voltage range operation, and the inherent inrush current protection characteristics, essential to design a low to high voltage conversion circuit. A comparative analysis and experimental results are presented to show the validity of the proposed convertor.

An Overtopping Wave Energy Convertor (OWEC) is an offshore wave energy convertor used for collecting overtopping waves and converting the water pressure head into electric power through hydro turbines installed in a vertical duct affixed to the sea bed. A numerical wave tank based on the commercial computational fluid dynamics code Fluent is established for the corresponding analysis. The Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes equation and two-phase VOF model are utilized to generate the 2D numerical linear propagating waves, which are validated by the overtopping experiment results. Calculations are made for several incident wave conditions and shape parameters for the overtopping device. Both the incident wave periods and heights have evident effects on the overtopping performance of the OWEC device. The computational analysis demonstrates that the present overtopping device is more compatible with longer incident wave periods.

본고에서는 앞으로의 주된 연구과제인 원자로 Simulator로 쓰일 Repetitive형 Analog계산기의 multiplier용으로 사용하기 위하여, 간단하면서도 조정이 쉬우며 안정도와 신뢰도가 큰 삼극관을 사용한 Convertor 회로를 택하여 이를 실험 검토하는 한편 출력측의 cathode-follower진공관을 5751로 개변하여 우리 실정에 정합토록하였다. 즉 이렇게 하므로서 불필요한 소모전류를 절약하며 충분히 낮은 출력 impedance을 얻을 수 있고 또한 얻기에 용이하고 염가한 진공관을 사용하면서도 훌륭한 특성을 얻을 수 있다.

This study aimed to investigate the performance characteristics of vertical axis turbine of tidal energy convertor. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equation with shear stress transport turbulence model has been solved to analyze the fluid flow of the vertical axis turbine. The hexahedral grids have been used to construct the computational domain and the grid dependency test has been performed to find the optimum grid system. Four steps have been carried out to design the vertical axis turbine of the 100 kW class tidal energy convertor.

In this study, as a means of increasing engine power, turbocharging was applied to the gasoline engine of a light passenger car which was originally naturally aspirated. Also the catalytic convertor was applied to improve the exhaust emission characteristics. The comparison of the performance characteristics between the burbocharged engine with catalytic convertor and the naturally aspirated engine was made over the wide range of operating conditions. The results showed considerable increase of the output performances at full load condition by trubocharging while slight losses were observed at part load conditions.

A microcomputer -based data acquistion system was designed and developed at Michigan State University , USA to conduct field data studies. The system designed for the research carried out used an Apple IIe microcomputer for collecting data on-board the tractor. An AII3 Analog to Digital (A/D_ convertor was chosen to interface each analog signal to the microcomputer. A commercially available Dj TPM II was employed to display information such as an engine speed, ground speed, percent drive wheel slip , distance travelled and area covered per hour. The frequency output from the radar unit was channeled through a frequency to voltage (F/V) convertor , so that AII3 Analog to Digital (A/D) convertor could read it. The fuel consumption was measured using on EMCO pdp-1 fuel flow meter attached to the engine fuel line. The draft of the tillage and other drag equipment was determined using strain gages attached to the drawbar of the tractor. The system was developed to collect the draft and fuel requirements for various farm equipment different kind of soils.

We have developed a new device, Plate-to-CCD Convertor (PCC), to conveniently digitize photographic plates in a relatively short time without losing any plate information (Oh et al. 1995). Using this device we have performed surface photometry of 12 early type galaxies. We determined relative orientations and scales to analyze PCC images. We also determined an ellipticity, position angle of the major axis, and $a_4$ of each galaxy to quantify the distribution of surface brightness. We checked the performance and limitation of this device by comparing the PCC images with those digitized by the ST microdensitometer and those obtained with CCD observations.

In this paper the flyback converter analysis is presented using the model of the PWM switch, which is easier to use than the general method of state-space averaged model. A procedure to design the flyback convertor and the feedback circuit is illustrated. From these results, a stable flyback convertor regulation system is possible by using the PWM switch model.
