Travel Report 2010 Travel report Dispuut Vulcanus 04 July 2010 – 09 July 2010 Travel report Preface This travel report is the closure of a highly successful VST 2010 (Vulcanus Study Tour). On the early 2 morning of the 4th of July a group of 22 Vulcania gathered at the 3ME-building, to start our yearly foreign trip. This year we were heading for Germany and Switzerland, to be more precise: Augsburg, Winterthur, Friedrichshafen and Zurich. Everybody was looking forward to visit some of the leading companies/research facilities in marine propulsion systems. Yearly Vulcanus organizes a Study Tour to foreign companies in our field of study. The marine industry is an international industry but due to our limited budget we concentrate to maritime companies within the European Union. The yearly study tour tries to give our members an impression and insight in the field in which they probably will work in the near future. The study tour is also a great opportunity to expand your professional network. Besides from the educational experience, we enjoyed the cultural and nightlife of the visiting cities during this year study tour. First of all I would like to thank my fellow board members Benny Mestemaker, Dirk Hoek and Frank van Es for their hard work. Secondly, I would like to thank the companies which we visited for their hospitality and interesting presentations. Thirdly, I would like to thank Mr Hugo Grimmelius and Mr Douwe Stapersma for their useful suggestions and contribution to get in contact with the various companies. And last, but definitely not least, I would like to thank our sponsors. Without their contribution it was not possible to organize and finance VST2010. I hope by reading this year’s travel report it will bring back good memories and motivate the upcoming Vulcanus board to go beyond this year study tour. Enjoy reading and I look forward to next year’s study tour.

Vulcanus provides excursions to companies inside the Netherlands as well as a one-week international business tour each year. Mainly through currently working, previous student-members Dispute Vulcanus has good contact with several companies. Next to periodically getting together at Café de Waag in Delft and some excursions to companies during the academic year, once each year Vulcanus organizes a one- week business tour to a foreign country. During this business tour companies that are related to the Marine Engineering business are visited to get acquainted with the companies in the sector. But of course also to find out about new technologies on the market, to get useful information for your graduation project, to see some nice things in the country, and last, but definitely not least, it is very much about having a good time with your fellow students . The last few years the business tour went to Germany, France, Sweden and Norway and the United Kingdom. This year we went to the southern part of Germany and to Switzerland because a lot of interesting Diesel engine manufacturers are located there, near the Bodensee. The trip is sponsored by some companies. Through the document and on the last page of this document you will find which companies made this trip possible. Because this trip could not take place without the support from our sponsors, so: Thank you very much! The trip is organized by the Vulcanus board, this year consisting of (from left to right) Erik van Deursen (chairman), Dirk Hoek (treasurer), Benny Mestemaker (secretary), Frank van Es (vice- chairman). Travel report Participants This year’s studytour group consisted of a mixed company. There were first year master students, 5 even 2 Bachelor students, 2 Master students from the Royal Netherlands Navy, some Master students who are working on their graduation, 4 PhD students from the Marine Engineering section and members from the staff. From left to right: Douwe Stapersma, Peter de Vos, Hugo Grimmelius, Kasper de Ruyck, Stef van den Bergh, Erik van Deursen, Michiel Drijver, Dirk Hoek, Bas Kwasieckyj, Frank van Es, Benny Mestemaker, Ding Yu, Ziru Li, Mike Loonstijn, Andries van Wijhe, Wei Zheng, Paul Wattez, Wei Shi, Erik-Jan Boonen, Erik Versluijs Travel report Program Sunday, 4th July 6 Journey to Zürich (Switzerland) Monday, 5th July Morning: Visit ETH Zürich (presentations about the HERCULES project) Afternoon: Visit Paul Scherrer Institute Tuesday, 6th July Visit Wärtsilä Winterthur (presentations about two stroke Diesel technology and tour through Diesel Technology Center) Wednesday, 7th July Morning: Visit MTU factory Friedrichshafen (tour through production/assembly/test facilities) Afternoon: Visit Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen Thursday, 8th July Visit M.A.N headquarters Augsburg (presentations about new technologies and tour through production/assembly/test facilities) Friday, 9th July Journey back to Delft Travel report Sunday, Journey to Zürich 4th of July… 7 Sunday morning 4th of July, the Vulcanus tour left the parking place of Delft University of Technology to start its journey to Swiss and Germany. Everyone was in a good mood looking forward to a nice week with interesting presentations, excursions, sightseeing’s and more. Although the three (of course Diesel driven) vans left at the same time, every route was different. One van went via Antwerp and Luxembourg to south Germany, the other two vans drove crossed the border with Germany at East part of the Netherlands. Maybe this was because one group was using a route description….. in Chinese. In the southern part of Germany all vans stopped at the same parking place for the first Vulcanus lunch. After the lunch, the three vans found their own way to Zurich without problems. Some of the guys used the travelling time to recover from a though weekend, so they could start the studytour all fresh. The inner-city of Zurich was closed due to a fantastic festival (Züricher Festspiele), so the challenge was to find the hotel and a parking place for the car. After many minutes driving round in Zurich, the hotel and parking place was finally found, and everyone could enjoy the party, which was a very good start of the studytour. Written by: Paul Wattez Travel report Monday, visit to ETH Zürich morning of July 5th… 8 It was the morning of the first day of the actual programme of the Vulcanus study tour 2010. We had a lovely hotel in the centre of Zürich. One might say the rooms were hot and it was hard to sleep in. Others made good use of the sedatives offered by the Zürich Festival the night before. So after a good night sleep and a lovely breakfast everybody got ready for the departure to the ETH Zürich. And after Michiel finally got his tie on with the help of the doctoral knowledge of Stapersma and Grimmelius we were off to the university. Fortunately this was only a short walk up the hill, so we arrived well on time. This gave us a good and early opportunity to make a nice group picture in front of the main building. It was a good thing we had all the time in the world, because setting the camera in self-timer mode happened to be a more time consuming project than initially intended. So there we were, in the summer heat, waiting for the person to come and pick us up. I for one would've died for just a glass of water (not being used to wearing a tie in 30 degrees, or actually wearing a tie in the first place). The destination within the university was the Aerothermochemistry and Combustion

  • First Aerial South Atlantic Night Crossing
    Advances in Historical Studies, 2016, 5, 19-35 Published Online March 2016 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/ahs http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ahs.2016.51003 First Aerial South Atlantic Night Crossing Fernando Neves, Jorge Barata, André Silva Aerospace Sciences Department, University of Beira Interior, Covilhã, Portugal Received 13 January 2016; accepted 7 March 2016; published 10 March 2016 Copyright © 2016 by authors and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract The history of the transatlantic flights began in 1919 when Albert C. Read’s team flew between Newfoundland and Lisbon, with a stopover at Azores, for fuel and repairs. The flight was made following a chain of 60 U.S. warships in order to guide it along its route and to provide assistance if needed. Two weeks later, John Alcock and Sir Arthur Whitten Brown made the first nonstop tran- satlantic flight from Newfoundland to County Galway, Ireland, covering more than 3000 km in just 16 hours of flight. In 1922, Gago Coutinho and Sacadura Cabral crossed the South Atlantic Ocean by air, for the first time using only internal means of navigation: a modified sextant and a course cor- rector; both devices proved its effectiveness. The Portuguese Aeronautics rejoiced auspicious days that time, with its aviation pioneers trying consecutively to reach more distant places along inter- continental flights. Several Around-the-World Flight Attempts were made in 1924: United States, England, France, Portugal, Argentina and Italy. However the circumnavigation purpose was only officially confirmed before the general public, when a considerable flying progress was achieved.
