Member of: FAU Undergraduate Student Research
Contributors: Mandelare, Lyndsey, Su, Tsung-Chow
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University
Description: Previous studies have shown that the human body is
responsive to rapid temperature changes, particularly
in the forearm region, when determining comfortable
temperatures. The goal of this study is to design
a wristband that can passively cool the user through
a finned design and to test its effectiveness. To this
end, an aluminum finned wristband has been designed
and the Adafruit Flora… more

Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Libraries: Digital Library
Description: Abstract
Object of research is to improve a solar desalination device known as the Water Cone that creates potable water using solar energy. The water cone is a polymeric cone that sits overtop a dish of saline water. The water is evaporated by the sun and condenses back onto the surface of the cone creating fresh water. In an attempt to improve the cone’s water production, two different… more

Member of: FAU Undergraduate Student Research
Contributors: Ferouz, Amir, Gill, Richard, Nasi, Norbert, Pipitone, Anthony, Su, Tsung-Chow
Publisher: Florida Atlantic University Libraries: Digital Library
Description: In a tank filled with water at the bottom and oil floating on top, a straight rod reaching into the oil is set to rotate. The rotating rod is brought just above the oil/water boundary and is set to rotate at a speed greater than 200 revolutions per minute. It became evident that the rod’s rotation caused the oil/water interface to curve upward around the center of rotation, reaching up to the… more
