The ultimate goal is to feed information from sensors into an active control system that precisely adjusts components to optimize efficiency, explains Jonathan White of Purdue.
The research, by engineers at Purdue University and Sandia National Laboratories, is part of an effort to develop a smarter wind turbine structure "The ultimate goal is to feed information from sensors into an active control system that precisely adjusts components to optimize efficiency," said Purdue doctoral student Jonathan White, who is leading the research with Douglas Adams, a professor of mechanical engineering and director of Purdue's Center for Systems Integrity.
By combining a rigid composite hull with a complete active control system and adding nonflammable helium, the Aeroscraft can effectively land and take off vertically from unprepared surfaces, thus eliminating the need for costly infrastructure.
As part of their strategic partnership, austriamicrosystems and New Scale are actively pursuing opportunities in auto focus and optical zoom modules for mobile phone cameras, actuators for electronic locks, micro fluidic pumps for medical devices, and active control systems for automotive components.

Featuring new generation active control systems the innovative all-wheel-drive has an electronic limited slip differential and specially tuned sports chassis as standard on all Aero XWD models.
The principal new technologies applied in the world's fastest elevator include: --The world's first pressure control system, which adjusts the atmospheric pressure inside a car by using suction and discharge blowers, preventing those riding inside the car experiencing 'ear popping' --An active control system which cancels vibrations by moving the counter mass in the opposite direction based on the vibration data from a sensor installed in the car --Optimization in the configuration of the streamlined car to reduce the whistling noise produced by a car running at a high speed inside a narrow hoist-way.
