Energy Production Test Device Developed in Partnership with ESTÜ and Private EOSB Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School

The energy production test device, developed in partnership with Eskişehir Technical University (ESTÜ) and Özel E OSB Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, was delivered to the Department of Electronics and Electronics Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering with a ceremony.

A test device that measures how much energy is generated at certain applied pressures and frequencies was produced within the scope of the project carried out by Private EOSB Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School teachers and ESTÜ Faculty of Engineering academicians.

In his speech at the ceremony, Eskişehir Organized Industrial Zone (OSB) Deputy Chairman Metin Saraç said that the resulting product is one of the best examples of university-high school cooperation and that the entire device was developed by teachers without any assistance.

Stating that a comprehensive device was produced, Saraç said, “This project is an example of not only technical knowledge and skills, but also cooperation and team spirit. I wholeheartedly congratulate all our teachers and school management. As Private EOSB Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School, we will continue such collaborations with our universities and continue to contribute to academic studies. We will continue to add value to both our students and the academic world with such projects.”

It will play an important role for wearable technologies

Dr. Faculty Member Seval Kinden, who touched on the importance of benefiting from the high school’s experience in the production process, stated that they created a successful product.

Kinden stated that they were able to measure the energy production of the modules in a standard way depending on the frequency and pressure changes with the device, and said, “Thanks to this device, we will now be able to test our modules in certain frequency and pressure ranges. The device has a variability between 20 and 240 strokes per minute in a certain frequency range. Thanks to the product obtained, we will be able to place our modules in that setup and characterize them in a standard way. Thus, we will be able to clearly evaluate how the performance is affected. In this sense, we have completed a critical process.”

Prof. Dr. Ender Suvacı also emphasized that the device will play an important role in the new generation of energy producers developed especially for wearable electronic technologies.

Stating that they will be able to measure electronic modules precisely thanks to the device produced, Suvacı said:

“We currently meet the energy needs in wearable electronic technologies with batteries. However, we can extend battery life by generating energy from our movements. Our main goal is to contribute to wearable electronic technologies with the new generation energy generators we have developed and to completely eliminate batteries. As the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, we have very special designs and modules that we have developed. We need to measure these modules. Up until now, we were measuring by hitting them with our hands or a mallet, but we did not know how much force we were applying. Thanks to the device, we will be able to clearly measure how much energy we produced with a certain strike under a certain pressure.”
