It is an exhibition of technological advancements and creative talents.The principle: Challenging thousands of students to design, build and drive the ultimate fuel-efficient vehicle to extend as far as possible the distance that can be covered on a single litre of fuel. Students get to compete with more than 100 universities from more than 20 countries to push the boundaries of energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tSnowstorm\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tA team of eight engineering students have successfully built Singapore’s first personal flying machine, dubbed Snowstorm.

While convenient, these devices are not suited for different weathers such as rain or a hot climate such as Singapore. Our solution to this problem is Weatherbox, a modular add-on box for multi-weather commute. Weatherbox consists of a user-friendly convertible hood and a cooling system to provide comfort for the passenger in any weather.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tSolar Helicopter\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tBattery-powered multi-copters are used for a variety of applications ranging from surveillance to recreation.

It is an exhibition of technological advancements and creative talents.The principle: Challenging thousands of students to design, build and drive the ultimate fuel-efficient vehicle to extend as far as possible the distance that can be covered on a single litre of fuel. Students get to compete with more than 100 universities from more than 20 countries to push the boundaries of energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tSnowstorm\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tA team of eight engineering students have successfully built Singapore’s first personal flying machine, dubbed Snowstorm. Comprising an intricate design of motors, propellers and inflated landing gear set within a hexagonal frame, Snowstorm is an electric-powered aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing that can be controlled by a single person seated within it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tDelta\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tWorld’s lightest electric paraglider trike. Featured in National Geographic Channel’s “Machine Impossible” episode in July 2016.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tPersonal Electric Autogyro\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tThe future of short distance travel is expected to take to the skies by the next decade in lieu of increasingly congested roads and our insatiable thirst for a more efficient mode of transport. This calls for an aircraft that is small enough for personal trips and yet intuitive to control, such that anyone is able to pilot it with practice. Our team brought electric propulsion to personal flying autogyros to make flying them more environmentally friendly and affordable.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tWeatherproof Solution for PMDs\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tThe use of Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) has been increasing in the past few years, not only by the disabled or elderly but also everyday commuters. While convenient, these devices are not suited for different weathers such as rain or a hot climate such as Singapore. Our solution to this problem is Weatherbox, a modular add-on box for multi-weather commute. Weatherbox consists of a user-friendly convertible hood and a cooling system to provide comfort for the passenger in any weather.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tSolar Helicopter\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tBattery-powered multi-copters are used for a variety of applications ranging from surveillance to recreation. However, the finite energy batteries require the multi-copters to be recharged frequently. The NUS Solar Helicopter team is building a fully solar-powered multi-copter drone to enable superior flight time, operating range and utility.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tThe Last Mile Solution\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tLast-mile refers to the distance between transportation nodes which is not covered by public transportation. The team is developing an alternate and viable personal mobility device to traverse the last-mile. The product is catered to general commuters as an alternate to existing personal mobility devices such as bicycles and electric scooters<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tWing-In-Ground Craft\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tThis project aims to develop an aerodynamic model of a large capacity wing-in-ground effect (WIG) craft that is efficient and capable of sustained flight. The aerodynamic model is evaluated based on its lift-to-drag ratio, duration of flight, take-off and landing capability and stability. Scaled down prototype of the WIG craft has been fabricated and tested. Computational fluid dynamics simulations are further used to study the ground effect.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tHybrid Vehicle\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tElectric engine systems are useful in overcoming the efficiency constraints of internal combustion engines. However, the current electric engine systems fall short on consumer expectations of reliability, low maintenance costs and energy use. This project aims to increase the efficiency of propulsion system and energy recovery in hybrid electric vehicles. The team is developing a split-axle hybrid system to provide higher energy efficiency while ensuring low complexity in assembly.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tWeatherproof Solution for PMDs\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tThe use of Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) has been increasing in the past few years, not only by the disabled or elderly but also everyday commuters. While convenient, these devices are not suited for different weathers such as rain or a hot climate such as Singapore. Our solution to this problem is Weatherbox, a modular add-on box for multi-weather commute. Weatherbox consists of a user-friendly convertible hood and a cooling system to provide comfort for the passenger in any weather.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tSolar Helicopter\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tBattery-powered multi-copters are used for a variety of applications ranging from surveillance to recreation. However, the finite energy batteries require the multi-copters to be recharged frequently. The NUS Solar Helicopter team is building a fully solar-powered multi-copter drone to enable superior flight time, operating range and utility.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tThe Last Mile Solution\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tLast-mile refers to the distance between transportation nodes which is not covered by public transportation. The team is developing an alternate and viable personal mobility device to traverse the last-mile. The product is catered to general commuters as an alternate to existing personal mobility devices such as bicycles and electric scooters<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tWing-In-Ground Craft\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tThis project aims to develop an aerodynamic model of a large capacity wing-in-ground effect (WIG) craft that is efficient and capable of sustained flight. The aerodynamic model is evaluated based on its lift-to-drag ratio, duration of flight, take-off and landing capability and stability. Scaled down prototype of the WIG craft has been fabricated and tested. Computational fluid dynamics simulations are further used to study the ground effect.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\n\t\tHybrid Vehicle\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/h2>\n\tElectric engine systems are useful in overcoming the efficiency constraints of internal combustion engines.
