Building

Ok, so after some trouble loading these images up at home, I’ve come into uni and POW here they are. This is how my building looks at present. The images I’ve tried to produce are quite strong which an effect I was after was. I wanted the building to really show its industrial form, highlighting the detail in the structure and how it works as a machine. Industrial Form

Almost there

Ok, some I'm nearing the end of project three and to tell you the truth I'm quite happy with the way my building looks. I've been developing my project since project two and have now produced a slightly different building. The concepts are still the same and the form is very similar yet the spaces within the building have become a bit more accommodating, the new technology has found its place and the lifting and locking mechanisms of the containers have been resolved.

The biggest issue I think I'm going to have with this project though is not producing a great design but instead displaying it. I'm at present having a lot of trouble in the post predicting stage (due to a lack of knowledge) trying to communicate what I need communicated. The trouble with this design is that it is so complicated and its hard to graphically display the building in a simplistic way (like Wes Jones who I'm taking great inspiration from for this project). Below are some images of My current work and some Wes Jones stuff so you can see a comparison and understand my issues. This guys graphical displaying of works is second to none, it is simply amazing.



Wes's Style

I was hoping to show you my diagrams but once again BLOGGER is being a prick! so I will just have to up load them at a later stage.

This is pretty much where im at, at the moment. The building has almost fully taken shape with only minimal things needing tweeking now.

Kinetic Energy Harvesting

This is just a short blurb i found about a company who are currently working on ways of harvesting kintic energy. Its a bit over my head but you get the idea.

PMG FSH Free Standing Harvester
A best-in-class integrated wireless power solution, the PMG FSH combines electromagnetic vibration energy harvesting technology with a selectable suite of energy charge, storage, and management options. The harvesters convert unused mechanical vibration into usable electrical energy to power wireless sensor systems used to monitor critical systems. The PMG FSH has integrated drive circuitry for charging an external storage device up to 4ma at 5V while reporting power levels via a serial communications interface via 3-pin IEC-standard connector. Output is up to 20 mW. The PMG FSH mounts either using a magnetic mount or a center through hole. Intrinsically safe, certified versions are available, carrying ATEX and IECEx certifications; CSA certification is pending.



An electromagnetic-energy harvester converts mechanical energy (vibration) to electrical energy. A coil attached to the oscillating mass traverses a magnetic field that is established by a stationary magnet. The coil travels through a varying amount of magnetic flux, inducing a voltage according to Faraday's law.

Perpetuum realized the other more advantageous way is to move the magnetic structure (which is inherently massive) and keep the coil fixed. Hence increasing the power output and making the electrical connections more reliable. The resulting voltage can be regulated to convenient storage or usage levels.

The Perpetuum FSH outputs a "load-independent" DC current up to 4mA (based on source vibration). The output current supplied is the same whether measuring with a multimeter during installation or while charging a WSN storage capacitor up to 5V.

Perpetuum field deployable harvesters are designed to last at least 20 years without maintenance, easily outlasting other battery-only powered systems.

Scalable and frequency tunable, Perpetuum electromagnetic VEH resonators have been selected by the world's premier Industrial Wireless Automation Leaders.
