Project aim • To develop an Electric Nano Bike Concept • To test it: performance, user firiendly • To evaluate economic viability • To describe world market size Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
Project aim • To take part in creative activity seeing the role of R&D teamwork in new - emerging technology implementation and commercialization • The general assumption for this project is that the group of studentshas an ambition to be a player on the market of new technologies. • To fulfill this vision there is necessary to have the best ideas. Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
Introduction to nanotechnology Nano size = 10 to 100 of atom diameters • Discovered in 1991 by Iijima • Unique material properties • Nearly one-dimensional structures • Single- and multi-walled Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
Energy Saving Nanotubes Commercialisation Bike needs energy to run !! Supercapacitors/ Superbatteries Energy Storage in CNTs • Electric charge storage - capacitors • Electrochemical hydrogen storage – fuel cells • Electrochemical lithium storage - batteries Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
Bike must be strong and lightweight !!NANOCOMPOSITES • To make a reliable composite, covalent bonds must be present between the SWNTs and the polymer matrix. • This network will simultaneously provide stiffness and strength to the polymer, serve to dissipate heat, and provide an embedded electrical circuit for damage monitoring.

Applications NASA's Morphing Glider will have flexible CNT wings that move like a hawk's. The wings will curl, twist, extend and twitch. Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
Antiballistic materials Nanotube tries to recover elastically, and transfer back the energy to the bullet.Better at absorbing energy and reducing the impact of a bullet. Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland

Project Proposal • Students will be introduced to the main subject area with several lecture presentations and they also will be able to visit nonomaterial’s laboratory to attend the nanofabrication and diagnostic processes. • The ideas will appear after two - three „think-tank” sessions • The final result of the project will bea Concept Design or Feasibility Study of Nano-Bikeemploying carbon nanotubes Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
The project is an interdisciplinary problem based on diverse skills.It gives expertise in the advanced technologies beingimplemented inscope of 5 -10 years.The project includes some elements of the following fields: • Mechanical Engineering • Business Studies • Telecommunication • Electronic & Electrical Engineering • Biotechnology • other ELEMENTS may be included Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
Project subject area is within two Research Projects of NCBiR and Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education: 1."Plasma System of Continuous Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes on Moving Substrate” 2. “Influence of External Magnetic Field on Arc Plasma Properties Related to Effective Synthesis of Carbon Nanotubes” This Presentation is available in the IFE Office on request Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
Conclusion Reminder • To develop an Electric Nano Bike Concept • To test the bike: performance, user firiendlies… • To evaluate economic viability • To describe world market size Z. Kolacinski, Technical University of Lodz Poland
