E-mobility trail well received

Zittau: The

e-mobility trail

made a big splash on Open University Day with 15 stations. The trail was officially opened with an interdisciplinary experimental lecture in the high-voltage laboratory. The example of autonomous mobility was used to demonstrate the services required for a vehicle to drive independently. The necessary contributions from computer scientists, control engineering specialists, information technology experts and power engineering specialists were impressively explained using experiments.

The high-voltage laboratory was filled to capacity, so that the lecture had to be repeated afterwards. However, the e-mobility trail had already been opened by then and was very popular with visitors.

Image 2: The roof of the ZIV building provided a good launch site for the drone

 

Image 3: The small missiles also stayed on course inside the building

 

Image 4: Omni-Bot robots programmed by students feel their way autonomously through a winding parkour

 

Image 5: Always surrounded - the electric car

 

Image 6: What does a car feel? This question could be investigated using original technology

 

Image 7: A small pumped-storage power plant powered by muscle power provided a very clear illustration of the basic quantities of energy

Image 8: Controlling an industrial plant with a smartphone? Of course you can!

 

Figure 9: A current-carrying conductor is whirled around by a magnetic field. Is this "electrosmog" dangerous? This question could also be investigated in the laboratory.

 

Image 10: Special advisory services were also provided: the combination of an online-based test procedure and personal advice enabled direct and personal feedback on individual suitability for a course of study in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science'.
