Truro College Visit - Flemings left Hand Rule.

On Thursday the 26th of February two A' level physics students from Truro college (Lucy Talbot and Claude De-Rijke-Thomas) delivered a talk to the Penair Engineering club. Students were taught about 'Flemings left hand rule' and were shown, through diagrams and models, how motors work. The students were then tasked to construct their own motor.

The students all really enjoyed this session and would like to publicly thank Lucy, Claude and Paul for setting up and delivering this presentation.

Penair Engineering -  CUC visit

On the 9th of February 2015 Penair Engineering club and some of the science leaders group visited the Exeter university Penryn campus. The group met the team that entered the shell eco marathon with their hydrogen fuel cell car. They explained to us the features of their car and how the hydrogen and oxygen was split to store power that would be then used to power the motor. This inspired us to upload to the blog.




This is the chassis system devised to assemble and disassemble with
 no welding.











This is a model showing the miniature hydrogen fuel cells. the water is separated by the electricity from the solar cells, the motor is then connected to the fuel cell which has stored the hydrogen to make electricity.
