Recovery Act - High Torque, Low Cost, Direct-Drive Rotary Generator

Present technology requires gears or hydraulics to address low drive shaft speeds in renewable energy systems, but operation and maintenance for gears and hydraulics are costly. This project will develop a high torque, low speed and low cost direct connected rotary generator for renewable energy applications to reduce cost of energy.

Recovery Act - Radiation Tolerant, Ultra-High Temperature Sensors for In-Core Use

This project will develop a high stability temperature sensor with materials characterization capabilities for nuclear reactor use which supports the Gen-IV and Nuclear Hydrogen Initiatives. This sensor will enable safe operation of these new reactors at peak efficiencies, which in turn will reduce the U.S. dependency on foreign oil while simultaneously reducing emission of green house gasses.
