I am in the KAMASE team, Gadjah Mada University – Indonesia and students from Curtin University of Technology – Australia successful become 30 nominates of Mondialogo Engineering Award 2007 – an international engineer students contest which initiated by Daimler and UNESCO. On the Mondialogo Engineering Award (MEA) 2007 there are about 3200 engineer students come from 89 countrys that join into 879 international teams. Team should be compose by engineer students from developed and developing country and effectively conduct an intercultural dialogue. Continue Reading »

I am with 3 students from Engineering Physics Department, Gadjah Mada University has successful build a steam turbine for small scale (450 W). This research supported by fund from National High Education Department (DIKTI), Indonesia. Fund about Rp. 4.700.000 or US$ 500 given us by PKMT (Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa Teknik – Creativity Programme for Engineer Students) programme. Continue Reading »

Not Emitted Damaged Emission (Zero Emission)
A fuel cell system just only emitted water vapour when used pure hydrogen as fuel. Otherwise, when using hydrogen from hydrocarbon reforming (like: coal, natural gas, etc), we still need conduct the emission testing to determine a system have zero emission category. According to standard that released by United Technologies Corporation (UTC) on 2002, a fuel cell system categorized as zero emission technology when just emitted smallest air pollutants, and bellow showing the parameter:
NOx ≤ 1 ppm
SO2 ≤ 1 ppm
CO2 ≤ 2 ppm
The table show the air pollution which emitted by some type of fuel cells. Note: PEM (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane), PAFC (Posporic Acid Fuel Cell), SOFC (Solid Oxide Fuel Cell), MCFC (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell). Continue Reading »

Barier on Hydrogen Fuel
Hydrogen difficult to be produced and saved in storage media. Nowdays, hydrogen production methods are very expensive dan need a lot of energy (which mean: hydrogen production has less efficiency ). To overcome this barier, many industries used hydrocarbon reforming technology to produce hydrogen from hydrocarbon. This way choose just on transition era, before we reach hydrogen era where hydrogen can take from efficient water electrolysis methods. Continue Reading »
