Harnessing Hydropower Energy Devices for Nigerian Water BodiesBy Samuel Edet Bassey
Abstract: Energy consumption in Nigeria is relatively high requiring alternative sources of power generation. In order to achieve a sustainable and renewable and cheap energy production, a decentralized energy generation is the clue as long distance transmission of this energy has proven to be unstable. A closer look on Nigeria’s hydrological map suggests the inclusion of the lower river basins into the energy generation plan. This makes the construction of a …

Development of an Upper Limb Active Prosthetic System for Developing Countries: Accessing the Possibilities of Mahdi Hussein DesignBy Samuel Edet Bassey
Abstract: The increasing demand for prosthetic devices has led to the development of better controlled prosthetic devices that do not rely on manual control but a more intuitive and automatic control in which the user can make movements with ease. In actual sense for this to happen there are some processes that occur in which muscle contraction on amputated regions are read and actions are performed with ease with the aid …

Noise, Vibration and harshness control in motor vehicular parts; a mechanical approachBy Samuel Edet Bassey
Abstract: Over the years, noise, vibration and hardness in vehicles has been a major challenge in the field of automobile engineering. With the introduction of new vehicle models, vehicle parts design has been so complex and sometimes we wonder why this happens. NVH which is the internal noise we experience inside the vehicle is generated by several sources inside the vehicle of which includes the engine, the propeller shaft, the differential …
