Harvesting the power of hydrogen energy in land and air mobility
Research project
Hydrogen is emerging as a promising future energy medium in many land and air mobility industries , where it is stored in the gaseous state within pressure vessels . The composite overwrapped pressure vessels that are manufactured with Automated Fibre Placement offer lightweight solutions , design flexibility , and better fuel efficiency when compared to traditional metallic pressure vessels .
This research project aims to design and manufacture a smart , fibrereinforced polymer composite tank with fibre-optic sensors for ground transportation and aviation applications .
