Episode: Experimental Closed-Circuit, Electro-Hydraulic Architecture for Electrified Off-Road Vehicles
Description: On today's show, our guest is Nathan Featherstone, a PhD Student at Purdue University's Maha Fluid Power Research Center. This lab has the distinction of being the NFPA's first University Power Partner, and is educating the next generation of fluid power engineers and leaders, Nathan's early successes being one example of this. Nathan spoke at iVT to demonstrate his experimental electro-hydraulic architecture for electrified off-road vehicles. Using a novel design for connecting the pump, motor, and actuator, he was able to achieve significant, though still experimental, gains in system efficiency. Subscribe to the Fluid Power...
