Silverwing

Silverwing is een Dreamteam van de TU Delft dat mee doet aan de door Boeing gesponsorde GoFly challenge. Zo hebben zowel de conceptuele ontwerpfase als de gedetailleerde design fase gewonnen en behoren nu tot de beste vijf teams wereldwijd. Het Stud Fonds heeft het team geholpen met de financiering van twee Emrax-motoren. Deze motoren worden gebruikt om de daadwerkelijke prestaties van de aandrijflijn te valideren en het uiteindelijke prototype mee te testen. Silverwing zal tot het einde van dit kalenderjaar het prototype verder ontwikkelen en testen om in het begin van 2020 naar de VS te vliegen en mee te doen aan de laatste ronde, de Fly-Off. We wensen Silverwing veel succes!

  • Delft Hyperloop

    This year we at Delft Hyperloop tried to make a giant innovative leap by trying to levitate as the first hyperloop team in history. We are using a Hybrid-Electromagnetig system (H-EMS) that combines the powers of permanent magnets and electromagnets. This system is carrying the complete 255kg of the pod and has some very sensitive equipment. Even a few millimeters offset to the track can disrupt the whole functionality of the system. For this reason we check multiple thousand times per second what this offset is, since we want to stay in the optimal range. The concept of H-EMS has been known for longer, but this is the first implementation of it in a student hyperloop prototype. Thanks to Stud for helping us fund this part, and making sure we can bring new innovations to the European Hyperloop Week competition every year.

  • Project March x Stud

    Project MARCH is a TU Delft | Dream team of 26 students working on the development of an innovative exoskeleton. An exoskeleton is a robotic suit that provides support, enabling someone with a complete spinal cord injury to get up and walk again. Every year, new aspects are added to improve the quality and user-friendliness of the suit. The first five teams focused on the Cybathlon, an international competition in which people with disabilities compete against each other to overcome everyday obstacles.
