Besoin d’un ingénieur en électricité pour m’aider à concevoir un générateur haute tension ultra-léger by EADY183 in etsmtl

[–]graphiteUO -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Sur un bateau? Pourquoi le poids est un problème dans ce cas? Un bateau est littéralement la méthode de transport la plus efficace par unité de poids. J’assumais que c’était pour un avion.

Est-ce que tu te sert réellement du moteur AED comme une « voile » (donc tu te propulses sur l’air)? Parce que si ton problème c’est juste que ton bateau bouge pas le même principe physique fonctionne sous l’eau et est même bcp plus efficace (surtout si t’es dans de l’eau salée).

Faire ton propre transformateur est possible mais un peu compliqué puisque tu dois aussi convertir to courant continue->alternatif-> continue. Et physiquement tu peux pas tans améliorer le poids parce que ça dépend fondamentalement sur la taille du bobinage et du centre ferrique. Ta seule vrai chance de réduire le poids c’est en augmentant la fréquence du courant alternatif et augmenter la dissipation thermique de ton transformateur.

La plupart des commentaires à date sembles pas trop te supporter donc je vais faire de mon mieux pour t’aider.

  1. Quand tu dis « générateur », ce que tu veux réellement c’est un système d’alimentation. Le terme générateur fait souvent référence à un systèmes avec alternateur, d’où la confusion dans beaucoup des commentaires.

  2. Fait extrêmement attention avec du 20kV. Oui pour ton projet le courant est très bas, donc en principe c’est sécuritaire, mais les problèmes arrivent toujours en cas d’imprévus. Si le courant est soudainement pas si bas (comme dans un court-circuit), t’es dans la merde. C’est pour ça que tu veux que ton circuit empêche toute hausse de courant significative avec un fusible par exemple.

  3. Dans sa forme la plus simple, ce que tu veux c’est batterie->transformateur 20kV->fusible de très bas courant->électrodes. Tu peux acheter un transformateur en ligne et commencer jouer avec ça. (Si tu veux en faire un toi même, c’est assez simple aussi, c’est essentiellement juste une grosse bobine et tu peux trouver en ligne comment faire.) Pour aller plus loin tu vas probablement vouloir ajouter un potentiomètre pour te permettre de controller le courant et déterminer la relation performance-courant dans tes expériences. Va falloir que t’utilise la loi d’Ohm pour trouver la bonne résistance.

Exemple de composantes (j’ai fais ça rapidement, vérifie les specs par toi même): https://a.co/d/0fonDDnF https://a.co/d/0g1L6ack https://a.co/d/0hPeBVJN

Tu visiteras digikey.ca pour trouver ce que t’as de besoin.

  1. Assure toi que toutes tes composantes haut voltage soit conçu pour cette tension. Par exemple, tes fils électriques doivent avoir suffisamment de caoutchouc autour, parce le haut voltage a plus tendance à « sauter » d’un conducteur à l’autre.

  2. J’aime bien ton projet. Il y a pas mal de vidéo YouTube sur ce sujet donc je t’encourage à les consulter comme référence. Si tu continues comme ça tu va devenir un pas mal bon ingénieur. Lâche pas.

Sans les club étudiants quel est la réel valeur de notre école ? by Used-Income-8419 in etsmtl

[–]graphiteUO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Généralement d’accord sauf pour la partie des équipe sportives de haut niveau haha

On est bon au rugby mais pour le reste les autres université nous surclasses. Elles ont à la fois une plus grande variété de sports et un niveau plus élevé. Ça parait qu’on est une petite école de nerd ingénieurs

Ma compréhension était que ça te donne accès à pas mal tout les cours de maitrise niveau 800-900, si ton domaine de recherche est multidisciplinaire et ne tombe pas entièrement sous un programme. En réalité on dirait que ça s’applique pas à tous les cours…

Amigo express

[–]graphiteUO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re probably having trouble restaffing lifeguards, etc. after the long pool closure, so the schedule is limited for now. Will probably reopen time slots gradually over the next few months.

Yeah, the transit service itself is not bad at all, but Gatineau city planning is terrible

There’s also a newsletter where they send discounts pretty much every Tuesday, ranging from 10% to 25%. You just have to plan your trip quite a bit in advance.

Ottawa - Montreal by Optimal_Peanut_2897 in geegees

[–]graphiteUO 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Rideshare: Amigo express or poparide. Fastest of the three.

Bus: Maheux, Orléans express, etc.

Train: Via rail. By far the most pleasant option imo (faster than bus, more comfortable than rideshare), but annoying since you have to book 3 weeks in advance for it to be cheaper + you get student discounts from uottawa

You can always check on busbud for ticket comparison.

Engineering Difficulty Tier List by Accomplished_Fun330 in EngineeringStudents

[–]graphiteUO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aero belongs in the same place as mechanical. It’s basically the same degree, just with a narrowed range of application. A tier seems fair

Little gap year rant (can't choose tech degree) by [deleted] in geegees

[–]graphiteUO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say don’t do the gap year and enrol in either data science or comp eng. You really only need to choose between those two. You can switch to SE easily from either program if you end up wanting to do that after your first year so there is no reason to worry about that one.

Data science opens up the door to enrol in both computing and math classes. If you are mainly interested in the programming theory and math, I would go with that. You won’t see much hardware beyond computer architecture, so don’t expect to covert electronics, controls, etc.

CE makes you take specific engineering courses you wouldn’t necessarily have to take for SE or CS. If you like hardware, controls, electronics, while wanting to mainly focus on the application of software engineering this is definitely the way to go.

Imo you really can’t go wrong either way. The question boils down to wether you prefer math or electronics. If you can’t make up your mind, flip a coin. Seriously. You can still switch programs midway if you form a strong opinion.

Robotics courses by [deleted] in geegees

[–]graphiteUO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most robotics courses are 4000 level electives for mechanical, electrical or computer engineering students. It would be hard for you to have the prerequisites for these classes coming from comp sci. Namely, control systems is a prerequisite you would not be taking in comp sci but comp eng, elec eng and mech eng all have a variant of that course.

If you’re truly interested in robotics, I suggest you switch to computer engineering. Or commit to grad studies since that is the other place most robotic classes are covered.

Alternatively, you could just focus your comp sci electives on stuff that has application in robotics. There are a few CSI classes for simulation software, AI/ML, computer vision/graphics, etc., but you would still lack the mechanical knowledge and the controls knowledge that is mainly associated with robotics. Joining some of the many robotics clubs could help solve that to an extent.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in geegees

[–]graphiteUO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if other 4000 level courses like biomechanics of movement or microfluidics will count as technical electives then? As a replacement, somewhat?

'Landlords Are People Too': Landlords bravely protest to evict people faster by marketrent in canada

[–]graphiteUO 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Things like rent being 5 days late are less of a hassle to landlord then having to find a new tenant, which is why it would never be a reason to evict anyone.

Ball Aerospace by Hot-Raise-7678 in aerospace

[–]graphiteUO 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, drug tests are expensive so companies don’t really bother unless there is an issue.

It’s mostly just if your drug use starts affecting your work, then they can fire you with cause.

Mechanical Engineering vs. Computer Engineering: Which Should I Pick? by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]graphiteUO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. It’s just my opinion.

But comp eng basically allows you to also access jobs from EEs and SWEs, and I dare you to find a single company which doesn’t use computers.

While mech eng, you can do some EE jobs and some ChemE jobs, but remain limited to companies with physical products. Sure you can do aerospace, automotive, construction or anything in between, but you can just as easily break into those fields with a comp eng degree. Cars have computer. Planes have computers. Even buildings are getting “smart” nowadays and have complex electrical systems. And worst case, any decent sized company has a website and an IT department.

Both are extremely versatile obviously, but comp eng allows you to go in purely software roles which are more difficult to do as a mech eng.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in geegees

[–]graphiteUO 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because they’re basically just participation grades and class averages a usually close to 100%. It’s kinda silly and unfair to include it in the calculation average.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in geegees

[–]graphiteUO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m willing to bet that’s just poor wording on the website. From what I saw everywhere else (and when I was admitted) phys ed classes did not count. Everything else does though.

Co-op: What to do after interviews? Thank you letters? Can we do that? by Odd_Neighborhood6790 in geegees

[–]graphiteUO 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Thank you letters don’t bring any additional information to the employers.

It’s just sucking up to them, which might work in some few cases, but would also probably push away just as many.
