The European Union has set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, establishing an emission reduction of 20% compared to 1990 levels, a target that has been expanded to 40% for the 2030 horizon. This effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is also complemented by demanding regulations regarding polluting emissions, both for fuels used in navigation and for those used in land transport. In the case of maritime transport, as of 2006 Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/78) of the “International Maritime Organization” (IMO), which

The SOFC is an eco-friendly energy production device that is considered as a great technical and business value that exhibits excellent performance for reducing fine dust and carbon dioxide. The power conversion efficiency of the SOFC system is at least 40% to more than 60%. It is likely as an energy source that will alleviate concerns about power generation gaps caused by nuclear and coal power phase out since it can be operated regularly.

Commonly known as “bump stop”, the jounce bumpers are indispensable components in vehicle suspension systems where it’s used to prevent the abrupt and harsh bottoming-out of the suspension when under full compression. It absorbs impact and dampens noise, vibration and harshness by preventing the suspension components from fully compacting during shock impacts caused by heavy loads, potholes, curbs, or objects in the road. However, these repetitive impacts on the bumper, can cause deformation to the product.

The main objective of the project is to produce a wind turbine that generates energy based on the phenomenon called vortex shedding that operates at market-competitive yields and scalable.
