Delft Energy Icon
The Energy Club has a specific location within TU Delft, to display a device that demonstrates the power of renewable energies. Currently this space is occupied by the “Energy Plant”. The Energy Club together with the Honours Programme Delft, has decided to change the current “Energy Plant” for something new and innovative.
This new device is to be designed and built by “HPD” students. The project aims to build an “Energy Icon” that will function as a renewable energy showcase. This icon will demonstrate the power of “Green Energy” in a practical and attractive way.
Looking for:
HPD students with any kind of background.

The project to design an innovative Tidal Energy plant at the Brouwersdam, which connects the province of South Holland to the province of Zeeland, has began.
As part of restructuring the Grevelingen area, an inlet in the Brouwersdam is proposed to connect the North Sea with the Grevelingen lake again. This way, it is expected that the flora and fauna in the Grevelingen lake area will blossom again by bringing back the tides, like it was before the Brouwersdam was built in 1971.
The second phase of the project consist in designing a “Tidal Energy Test Center” . This is with the goal of researching in the most efficient design of a siphon based Tidal Energy Plant.

An electric van used to cook pancakes has to be transformed into a 100% sustainable solution. Students
are invited to think big, brainstorm, meet, organize and come up with 3 alternatives. A pitch session will
be organized for the client to choose an alternative. From there, the selected alternative has to be
implemented into the real van!
In a nutshell, meet people, work in a multi-disciplinary group, think about different solutions for a real
life problem, pitch it and convince your client, grab some tools and make it real!
It’s innovative… there is no solution in the market… What would you do?
Racing Aeolus
Racing Aeolus is the first premier international competition where students from different universities are faced with the task to design and build a Wind Powered Vehicle (WPV) that could drive against the wind, powered by a Rotor. In 2011, the race was organized by WEE in the Netherlands between in August at Den Helder, which was the 4th edition of the race.
From September 2012, Team TU Delft (Delft Vortex) kick-started this project, now comprising of 30 Masters students of different backgrounds and faculties - Aerodynamics, Mechanical and Electrical. Each of these three teams work with a Professor and a PhD student.
For the last race in August 2011, 5 students from TU Delft worked with team Hogeschool InHolland (Team Anemo 3) and were involved with optimization of the blade design
