Mechanical Engineering Electric Dynamometer (eDyno) Launch
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota invites you to celebrate the launch of a new electric dynamometer at the Murphy Engine Research Laboratory (MERL).
This showpiece facility adds world-class capability to the ME Department for electrified energy and sustainability solutions. University researchers will use the space to work with industry and government partners to test tomorrow's electric machines, drives, and power electronics. The facility integrates a 250 kW battery emulator, state-of-the-art power measurement equipment, and a highly versatile dyne that can precisely control torque at speeds from 0 to 20,000 r/min. This combined capability is uniquely suited for the development of integrated powertrain technology across applications ranging from off-highway vehicles to electrified flight and next-generation turbomachinery for power generation, refrigeration, and HVAC.
No formal program. As this is an active lab space, no refreshments will be served. Ample street parking is available.
Who Should Attend?
Alumni, faculty, corporate partners, and friends of the department are welcome.
