| Abstract |
The goal of the 1.5cc Rotary Engine Power System (REPS) project is to develop and fabricate a small-scale portable power generation device capable of producing 50-200W. Power will be generated using a Wankel rotary engine operating with liquid hydrocarbon fuels, allowing for a higher specific energy density than batteries of comparable size. This project also serves as a development platform for a wide range of MEMS sensors and actuators. These system are currently being developed in order to monitor and control the engine, optimizing the device performance and efficiency. |
