Engineering Open House 2009 where the corn plants are located in the row, and then uses mechanical arms that perform the mechanical weeding using harrows that avoid the corn stalks. Observe Cosmic Particles from Outer Space! Hallway AESB In the cloud chamber alcohol is vaporized and drawn to a dry-ice cooled metal plate. The alcohol is super-saturated and when alpha particles pass through the vapor, they ionize the alcohol molecules and form condensation trails. In buildings, the arrangement can also make Radon particles visible. Discover, learn and experiment with the latest in engineering, science and technology at Engineering Open House. From liquid nitrogen to concrete crushing, Engineering Open House hopes to spark your curiosity in engineering. Located north of Green Street, six blocks north of Gregory Drive, Engineering Open House features research projects and interactive exhibits from university professors, students, organizations and sponsoring corporations. The shuttle bus makes stops at Engineering Open House. Find more agricultural engineering exhibits on the north end of campus at Engineering Open House. The Digital Computer Laboratory is located on Springfield Avenue, north of Grainger Engineering Library. heat, and water, thus making it environmentally friendly, and if located on-site of the demand, it will reduce electricity transmission losses while gaining the use of thermal energy for heating water or air. ACES Undergraduate Library project presented by Chris Cirone (Peoria, IL). Guided Tour of Food Science Pilot Plant 165, AESB Investigate food processing methods like pasteurization, drying, extrusion and commercial canning as you tour a working food science pilot plant. Learn about the latest developments in food processing. Tours begin at 10 am and 1 pm and will last approximately 35 minutes. AgTracker Robot Digital Computer Lab, EOH Robotics in crop production shows great potential in acquiring data from the field and for low energy operations. This robot can be used for mechanical weed control. This will become more important in the future, since an increasing number of weeds are becoming resistant to glyphosate. Indoor Localization (I-GPS) Digital Computer Laboratory, EOH This robot knows its location using a spinning laser beam that hits three sensors in a board. The phase difference among the signals tells us the relative angles with repect to the receivers. This is translated into coordinates in a computer, which then sends the location to the robot wirelessly. Hydrogen Fuel Cells use in Residential Combined Heat and Power Systems Digital Computer Laboratory, EOH This exhibit presents the benefits of using a hydrogen fuel cell in a home as a combined heat and power system meaning that it provides both electricity and heat for consumption by the residents. The byproducts of a hydrogen fuel cell include electricity, Interactive Carbon Cycle Digital Computer Laboratory, EOH In the BioMASS lab, we use models to help analyze how a complex system works. In this interactive game, become part of a carbon cycle model. We’ll show how a complex system model works, and why little changes in the way we use fossil fuels can make a big difference to global warming. 15
