1. APPLICATION OPTIONS WITH CONTINUOUS HYBRID TRANSMISSION POWER DIVIDER

   The theme refers to the continuous transmission of rotary motion mechanisms that serve to facilitate a particularly economical drive vehicles, such as passenger cars, trucks, trolleys, trams, locomotives, etc. It is particularly timely for hybrids, electric cars, etc. It is assumed theoretical solution of the energy flow the branches, prototype production and confirmation of the chosen means of transport. Promised cooperation with companies ZMS VRS Institute of motor vehicles in Prague, EM Brno.

   Tutor: Veselka František, doc. Ing., CSc.

2. MEASUREMENT OF PHYSICAL QUANTITIES FOR THE ROTATING PARTS

   The theme is focused on the measurement of very small distances and deformation of rotating electrical parts. machines that have a significant effect on the operating characteristics of machines and equipment. The measurement is made modern measuring, recording and evaluation techniques. The aim is to assess and optimize the partial impacts of physical quantities on the characteristics and parameters of electromechanical systems. The work consists of theoretical, experimental and practical part. The issue is UVEE continuously addressed in the grant project, forthcoming international cooperation. Results are regularly published.

3. Physical properties of accelerator driven transmutation reactor systems

   Accelerator driven reactors are perspective hybrid systems coupling together nuclear reactor and particle accelerator, fusion technologies alternatively. Such systems offer high level of safety and spent fuel transmutation capability or thorium utilization. Design and construction of these systems have serious technological and funding problems in the moment; physical challenges should also be taken into account. Problems of physical calculation and measurements should be analyzed within proposed dissertasion thesis.

   Tutor: Katovský Karel, prof. Ing., Ph.D.

4. STUDY OF DYNAMIC PROPERTIES SLIDING CONTACT

   The theme includes issues of sliding contact in high-end applications of electromechanical systems operating in dynamic operating conditions (Starting, regulation, etc.) with high ratings of current, voltage, speed, power, speed, and defined the parameters of the surrounding environment. Since the development of electromechanical systems in particular is currently associated with a requirement for high reliability and durability as defined, should be to extend the life of work sliding contact, reducing degradation of the stationary and moving parts of the sliding contact, eliminating the influence of the surroundings on the current flow between the stationary and moving part of the sliding contact. Partial information will be obtained during the analysis and field current.

   Tutor: Veselka František, doc. Ing., CSc.

5. STUDY of the PROPERTIES of the SLIDING CONTACT THE APPLICATION PTFE FILMS

   The theme includes a study of the issue of sliding contact, not only in traditional applications, but also in special applications of electromechanical systems operating in dynamic operating conditions with high rated current, voltage, speed, velocity and defined parameters of the environment. In the case of sliding contact is expected to use newly developed materials such as HS22196, VS3110. This concept is the integration of the sliding contact with the application of Teflon and the sliding contact of carbon - carbon bonds. Promised cooperation with companies ElringKlinger Kunstofftechnik GmbH, NAREX, EM Brno.

   Tutor: Veselka František, doc. Ing., CSc.

6. USE OF NANOTECHNOLOGY IN ELECTROMECHANICAL SYSTEMS

   The theme is focused on the application of nanotechnology in electrical machines, particularly with a sliding contact. The work builds on the extensive knowledge and skills in this area, which were obtained on UVEE FEEC in the application of modern technology in the design of electrical machines. The aim is to identify the dependencies and relationships between components in different design and application version with a link such as EMC .. The problem is solved UVEE continuously and is achieved interesting results published on an international level. The Institute has a special measuring workplaces for practical verification of theoretical assumptions and cooperates with leading companies.
