- Energy Skate Park
- Roller Coaster Engineering Lab - class presentations
- Wind Turbine Calculations
- Wind Energy software design project. Several versions of this interesting problem. We will decide base on time available.
The world's largest diesel engine. This model is used on cargo ships. It produces 80,000 kW (109,000 hp) of power. It is built in Finland.
