Evolutionary Fabrication: An Autonomous System Of Invention, Tim Kuehn
Honors Theses
Evolutionary algorithms have had success in designing complex objects, ranging from antennae used in NASA's Space Technology 5 mission to astronomical telescope lenses. However, evolutionary design is limited by the ability of a simulation to accurately represent the physical world. Addition-ally, evolved designs may be well described, but they carry no set of speci˝c instructions describing how to physically create such a design. Evolutionary Fabrication (EvoFab) recti˝es this: EvoFab is a machine built upon a process that can, in principle, automatically invent and build anything, from soft robots to new toys, by evolving the process, not the product. We have …

Development Of The Control And Ignition Systems On A High Pressure Gas Turbine Combustor, Carlos Alejandro Valdez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
The ignition and control systems of a laboratory scale high-pressure gas turbine combustor were developed in the present work. This work provides a detailed description of the design, development and testing of the remote control system developed for a High Pressure Gas Turbine Combustor (HPTC).
The combustor has the capability to operate at pressures up to 1.5 MPa and temperatures up to 2400 K. It is also designed for a maximum air and fuel flow rates of 81.93 g/s and 35.77 g/s respectively. The fuel used will be CH4 for the early experiments but it is designed to operate using …
