| Artificial muscle as shock absorber |
|
Engineers are working on intelligent materials that can diminish vibrations and extract power from the environment. These electro-active elastomers could dampen annoying vibrations in a car, for example, or supply wireless power to sensors in otherwise inaccessible places. |
| 3D laser scaning a passenger train's position |
|
Is a contact wire missing or is it faulty? What's the situation in front of the entrance to a railway station or a tunnel? A 3D laser scanner can increase the train's safety and reliability. |
| Plasma nozzle applied coatings |
|
These coatings offer protection against rust, scratches and moisture and improve adhesion: Surfaces with a nano coating. A new plasma process enables these coatings to be applied more easily and cost-efficiently on an industrial scale. |
| Lubrication without oil? |
|
Running nicely this applies even more to aqueous biopolymer solutions than to oil. These solutions are used as a cooling lubricant for machining hard metals and for tool-making machinery on which tools are manufactured. |
| Contact-free analysis of chemical substances |
|
Is it drugs, medicines or explosives? At the Analytica trade fair, Fraunhofer researchers, joined by the Hubner Company, are presenting a terahertz spectrometer that provides reliable, contact-free identification of substances. |
| Mass Production with Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Plastics CRP |
|
Cars and airplanes need to lose weight and one way to do that is to produce as many of the components as possible using carbon-fiber-reinforced plastics CRP. Up until now, these components have been made by hand. Today, there are automated production methods that are also suitable for volume production in carmaking. |
