Academic projects designed for the real world

Academic projects designed for the real world

Academic engineering projects not only help create the design minds of tomorrow, but the resulting creations often achieve innovation in their own right. The University of Bath’s Mechanical Engineering Department fosters this spirit, partnering with supporters from industry to innovate for the real world.

Driving energy efficiency with IEC-compliant motors

Driving energy efficiency with IEC-compliant motors

Helen Keller once said, "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” This sentiment is echoed by the collaborative push behind the International Electrotechnical Commission’s (IEC) new efficiency standard.

Protecting equipment: A customer focus for enclosure design

Protecting equipment: A customer focus for enclosure design

For electrical installations, from integrating control devices to wiring terminal connections, safety and performance depend on the quality of the protecting enclosure. Yet, for each application, there’s more to enclosure selection than simply providing a rugged housing.

From simulation to sensation: Linear motion brings paragliding VR ride to life

From simulation to sensation: Linear motion brings paragliding VR ride to life

Designing immersive, motion-based virtual reality (VR) experiences presents a unique blend of engineering and creative challenges. Frontgrid – a UK-based pioneer in immersive entertainment – needed its flagship attraction, ParadropVR, to replicate the thrilling sensation of paragliding, complete with sudden ascents and dramatic drops. But replicating such high-speed motion safely and reliably would require more than creative thinking. It would demand precision motion engineering.
