Energy Harnessing

Today, we have come out with our proposal for the project in a writing and had a discussion with Mr. Prabhat pertaining to the idea. The idea was to design and construct the regenerative energy generator with a ferromagnetic device. Our original idea was to develop the system as a supplementary power supply to electric vehicles.

After a discussion with Prabhat, he has suggested us to broaden our project idea, so that the generator could be used on normal vehicle instead of just for EV application. He also suggested us to look at the project from a difference perspective, not only as a power generator, but also as a part of energy harnessing system. We also discussed the basic idea on how to construct the generator and how to carry out the test.

Generally, we are happy with the new concept and approach that we have gained from the discussion. Now, we need to do a little bit more of research about energy harnessing and redo out contract before signing off the contract. So far, the progress is going well as we planned. We hope that we could get the contract signed by next week.

Ip Session - Research

I believed it was a fruitful session today. Discussions merely about research and lots of stuff to be relate to the technology project research. Research data sourcing, data analysis as well as dos and don'ts in report writing were highlighted. I think the knowledge that we will gain in this session could be important, not only for the technology project in this semester but also for industry project on next semester.

Our progress on the project as per today, we had draft the project idea and filled up the contract form. We have decided that we will bring the proposal to a discussion with lixin within this week. Even though we are busy with few assignments that are going to due early next month, we still need to keep the project in progress.

Technology Project Idea

Several project ideas were highlighted in yesterdays session. Some good example were discussed. I understand that all the idea for the project should come from the assessed problem.

So far, me and Fiva, we had a project idea that we had been discussing since last week. The idea basically involve the ferromagnetic power generation. We intend to design a simple supplementary power generation to support power consumption in a vehicle, mainly for electric vehicle. However, we still need to work out the proper proposal as well as to fill up the contract form. We need to do more research based on the idea in order to identify the outcome of the project before we have the agreement on the contract.

Last week, we already had a small discussion with Mr. Prabhat regarding our project idea and we did ask a favour from him to become our technical advisor for the our project. He seems happy to help us with the project with a condition that we ask Mr. Lixin to be the other technical advisor the project.

Yesterday, we spoke to Lixin regarding the project idea and we did asked him to become our technical advisor as we discussed with Mr. Prabhat earlier. He want us to properly complete the contract form with a proper project proposal before having a further discussion.

We need to work out fast, the sooner we sign the contract the sooner we could start to progress with the project. At the same time we need to make sure that the project idea is feasible at our level of knowledge.

Free Energy

Well, this YouTube video has inspired me the idea for my technology project. However, I still need to do more research and work out on how to incorporate the idea into the automotive project.

Today, me and Fiva has agreed to work in a group for the technology project. First step, done.

Tech Project

First session of the TTEC 6112 course for Semester 2/2011. Assessment scopes and course objective were briefed to the class. The percentage distribution for all assessments and all the dateline were also briefly explained.

For me, this challenging course requires lots of individual and group commitments. It is definitely different from other courses that I’ve went through previously. Now, the first step is to find a good and dynamic group members, to ensure the progress of the project will be in the right direction.

Today, we've been shortly briefed with the project scope and ideas. The basic ideas on how to manage the project were also been highlighted. Having discussed about managing the project makes me feel the experience and knowledge to be gained in this project could be very useful for me in my future carrier.
