Research and Development in Electrical Engineering

05/21/2009 2:09 PM

is there any opportunity for reserach and development in electrical engineering.inventing any new machines or usage.or is electrical engineering a saturated subject.

does hydrogen be used as a feul for electrical power generation.

No, everything that can possibly be known in Electrical Engineering is already known, it is completely saturated. You should try something else. People who ask questions for which there are obvious answers and who desire to have someone else tell them what to do are more suited for the military. That field is never saturated.

No to the hydrogen issue either. Hydrogen is only useful for inflating baloons or creating powerful bombs. But again, that falls into the military realm as well. I think you should enlist.

There is a lot of electrical design can be done but what do you want to design or develop.?

i had some ideas about introducing or using digital signal processing techniques in electrical engineering.all knew handling large quantities of power is difficult.we have to go for digital technics for the solution.ie control system.here i think the use of microprocessors,microcontrllers and digital signal processors also helps to solve the problem .

secondly mechanical systems are the most durable ,lasting equipments in the world.some systems in china are still working even after 2000 years .but its efficency is low.combining electrical and mechanical systems ie simultaneously using this two technologies will be a good idea.passive equipments are more used in mechanical engineering but not in electrical engineering,this is a limitation,which can also be over come advantageously.by this methods equipments of low power rating can be developed and inturn reduce the power consumsion.

hydrogen is a good fuel.combustion of hydrogen ie reaction of hydrogen with oxygen forming water liberates a lot of heat .this energy can be used for generating electrical engergy.there are already existng hydrogen combustion engines.

in metallurgy by direct reduction of iron from its ore we can produce good quality iron ,steel etc.

<...does hydrogen be used as a feul for electrical power generation...>

No. Hydrogen, as a fuel, can be considered in the same category as electricity so far as providing the power source for equipment that cannot be operated while connected to a power grid. They are both secondary sources of power, a carrier for the energy, and not a source of it. Hydrogen has a lot going for it as a substitute for liquid fuels for the internal combustion [IC] engine (so does doing away with the IC and substituting high performance batteries and electric motors).

i think the question is not clear for many.may be because they are not working in power plants or in research related activities.my idea was to use hydrogen as a substitute for diesel ,coal like fossile fuels. use hydrogen to run an IC engine and use that engine as prime mover to an alternator.not using hydrogen as a substitute for electricity.

The question is unlikely to be not clear simply because there were n number of threads on the Hydrogen as fuel in CR4 and quite a degree more in net.

Only nobody in CR4 could find a way to generate sufficient volume of H2, efficiently, economically and safely to run a power plant.

May be you will come out with a novel way, who knows.

is there anyone who is optimistic.or does the electrical people evaporated off the ideas.
