We are delighted to announce an opportunity for a small number of Engineering New Zealand members from Wellington Branch, Electrical Engineering Group or Mechanical Engineering Group, and IMechE members to visit the Paihau - Robinson Research Institute research facility in Petone. The institute as a world-leader in mission-oriented superconductivity research.
Our guide will be Research Engineer - Mike Davies - who will show us some examples from a range of their exciting projects at the leading edge of science and engineering. Examples may include;
- Innovative optical fibre sensor systems for a range of monitoring problems in industry
- Cryogenic, sustainable aviation enabled with high temperature superconductor technology
- Work with the latest technology associated with liquifying gasses
- Proving thrust pump technology in space using cryocooler, flux pump, superconducting magnet technology
- Applications include; generators, motors, power transformers, high speed low friction bearings, medical imaging systems, electric space propulsion, high field magnets, nuclear fusion energy and more
The team at the Robinson Institute work alongside world experts in commercially focussed mission-oriented research, integrating with the international community and making an impact in a global setting. Their collaborative approach is key to the success of the emerging deep tech / clean tech industry and the researcher entrepreneurs who drive it.
Amongst other initiatives, the institute has been helping to develop cutting-edge work on electrifying aviation and other heavy transport, which has attracted interest from the industry's top global players and promises to put New Zealand at the forefront of an emerging global electric aircraft motor market, estimated to be worth more than $200 billion USD by 2050.
Meet at the Robinson Institute at 4pm for a 1 hour tour followed by refreshments and networking.
