Reconfigurable photovoltaic modules for robust nanosatellite power systems
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018)Until recently, the focus of most solar technology development for space was towards more efficient, more radiation-resistant and increasingly powerful arrays. During a space mission, solar cells are not only exposed to ... -
Rheological characterisation of highly concentrated mineral suspensions using an ultrasonic velocity profiler
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2007)The rheological behaviour of non-Newtonian, highly concentrated and non-transparent fluids used in industry have so far been analysed using commercially available instruments, such as conventional rotational rheometers ... -
Saturated absorption spectroscopy of rubidium and feedback control of LASER frequency for Doppler cooling
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018)This research investigates the absorption spectra of rubidium and the feedback control of an external cavity diode laser. This research is a necessary prerequisite for laser (Doppler) cooling and trapping of rubidium ... -
Shaded-pole flat linear induction motor
(Cape Technikon, 1990)Linear induction motors are built for numerous applications. Their robustness, gearfree-link to the load and the fact that speed is not a function of the number of poles (as in round machines) are only a few advantages. ... -
Solar panel development for high altitude and low earth orbit application
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010)Stable and reliable source of electrical energy is a requirement for efficient operation of satellites. Several sources of electrical power for satellites exist such as fuel cells, nuclear or battery stored Direct Current ... -
Solar refrigeration using the Peltier Effect
(Cape Technikon, 1996)In order to design a coolerbox, utilising Thermo-electric technology as a heat pump, it was necessary to determine if this type of technology would be suitable for a coolerbox heat pump application. A detailed TEC ... -
A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer for nanosatellite space weather missions
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012)In order to effectively determine the occurrences of space weather anomalies in near Earth orbit, a highly sensitive space-grade magnetometer system is needed for measuring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, which is ... -
Techniques to optimise data transmission in optical fibre
(Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011)Due to the tremendous growth in data traffic and development in optical fiber transmission technologies, the limits of the transmission capacity available with the conventional and modulation techniques have been surpassed. ... -
The control and auxiliary equipment of the national accelerator centre precision = 1,5m scattering chamber
(Cape Technikon, 1987)A variable-energy separated sector cyclotron with a K value of 200 MeV as well as an 8 MeV solid pole injector cyclotron has been completed at the national Accelerator Centre complex at Faure. These accelerators will produce ... -
The design and development of a microprocessor based control system for an electric rail transport system
(Cape TechnikonCape Technikon, 1988)Radioactivity and radioactive radiation are two scientific phenomena which man has always approached with great caution, if not fear. Radioactive radiation cannot be sensed by any of the human senses and experience has ... -
The development of a 100 KHZ switched-mode power supply
(Cape Technikon, 1991)At the time of the design the maximum allowable operating frequency for an output power of between 200 and 250 watts was 100 kHz. Although a 600 kHz operating frequency could have been achieved, it would only be at a ... -
The development of a building acoustics analyser
(Cape Technikon, 1991)The purpose of this thesis was to develop a portable, standalone building acoustics measuring instrument that would replace the existing equipment used. The existing equipment consisted of a number of instruments making ... -
The development of a faxmodem card for a personal computer
(Cape Technikon, 1993)This thesis describes the development of a FAXMODEM card for a Personal Computer (PC). The faxmodem card incorporates intelligence and sufficient memory to store twenty pages of fax information. When using the developed ... -
The development of a high voltage electro-photographic device which can be used in the research of Kirlian photographic phenomena
(Peninsula Technikon, 2003)The scientific investigation of Kirlian photography has always been a contentious issue. Unreliable instrumentation and incomplete documentation characterized initial research efforts of most investigators. An instrument ... -
The development of a piano-recorder system
(Cape Technikon, 1993)This thesis describes the development and design of a pianorecorder system. This system makes it possible to record the notes played on a piano onto a computer disk. The records can then be used for the manufacturing ... -
The development of a solid state wind velocity and direction indicator, suitable for data logging
(Cape Technikon, 1992)This thesis describes the development of a free standing, maintenance free anemometer which has no rotating parts. The principle of operation is based on the \-vind drag/force around a hollow P.V.c. pipe. The aim is ... -
The development of a video frame grabber for a PC
(Cape Technikon, 1993)This thesis describes the design and development of a computer vision system. The system (Video Frame Grabber) will give PCUsers the potential to capture any visual image into the memory of a computer. This computer ... -
The development of an 8051 micro-controller evaluation and training board
(Cape Technikon, 1996)The development of the 8051 Evaluation and Training Board was in response to fulfill a need to have a training board available for students at the start of a micro-controller course. This board must be used to get ... -
The development of an infra-red monitoring and data-logging system
(Cape Technikon, 1991)This thesis describes the design and development of an infrared monitoring and data logging system. The infra-red unit will be used to monitor certain hiking trails on Table Mountain, whilst the logging unit will be used ... -
The development of software for a faxmoden card
(Cape Technikon, 1995)This thesis describes the design and development ofsoftware for a FAXMODEM card for a personal computer. The software was developed to enable the designed FAXMODEM card to transmit and receive facsimiles independent of ...
