System to reduce dust emission from braking system of automotive vehicles.
Description of the project offered:
The subject of low environmental impact brake systems to reduce micro and nano particles
emissions has also been a priority in the research and development works undertaken by the
Automotive Industry Institute (PIMOT). One of the outcomes of such works is an innovative and
PIMOT-patented technology and system to reduce dust emission from disc brake and drum brake
mechanisms of motor vehicles.
It has been proven by scientific research that air pollution leads to many dangerous diseases. One of
the most important air pollutants is dust and a significant share in the dust emission from road
transport is taken by brake mechanisms of automotive vehicles. Statistical surveys show that an
average motor vehicle annually consumes as much as about 0.5 kg of the friction material
incorporated in vehicle brakes! This translates into liberation of harmful dusts, which include toxic
organic compounds and heavy metals, to the environment. Investigations carried out at PIMOT have
revealed that an overwhelming majority of the particulate matter emitted from brake mechanisms
consists of respirable dust with an equivalent particle diameter smaller than 2 µm. Such a particle
size fraction is most dangerous for human health. This serious hazard posed by the dusts generated
during braking processes has confirmed the advisability of undertaking an initiative to develop a
system that would reduce the emission of particulate matter from vehicle braking mechanisms.
In the method developed at PIMOT, the dust emitted from a braking mechanism is absorbed by a
filter thanks to the use of forced air flow around friction linings. Within the research and
development works, prototype systems were engineered and built to reduce dust emissions from
disc brake and drum brake mechanisms. These systems were tested with satisfactory results on
laboratory test stands, on a chassis dynamometer, and in the conditions of real operation in road
traffic. The effectiveness of operation of the systems having been built was found to be good. In
result of the experimental tests, the emission of the particulate matter generated during the braking
process was found to be reduced by as much as about 50–70%.
The project involves the develop the system to the different type of vehicles: passanger car and bus.
The system research on the real traffic condition at least a 50% reduction of particle emissions
should be demonstrated. Thereby the project can contribute to improving urban air quality in the
midterm and strengthen the competitiveness of the EU car industry in this growingly significant
market segment.

A Novel Tri-generation System Powered by Semi-Parabolic Linear Fresnel Reflector Solar
Concentrator
Description of the project offered:
The proposed research is to develop a tri-generation technology that can be used to provide
decentralized electricity, heating and cooling powered by solar energy – the titanium dioxide coated
semi-parabolic linear Fresnel reflector with membrane units. The tri-generation is achieved by
integration of scroll engine with desiccant evaporative cooling/heating technologies. A semiparabolic linear Fresnel reflector concentrator will be developed, which has the same concentrating
efficiency as the parabolic trough concentrator’s, but lower manufacture cost. A nanofluid will be
used in solar energy collection cycle for collecting efficiency improvement. Surfactant additive will
be mixed with desiccant working fluid to enhance dehumidification effect by lowering the surface
tension of the working fluid. The desiccant evaporative cooling/heating system will adopt an
innovative membrane technology to maximise heat and mass transfer between the air and the
desiccant solution and also eliminate the carryover issue associated with liquid desiccant system.
The membrane evaporative cooling/heating system has the dual functions, it can be used as indirect
evaporative cooling component in cooling mode or as heat recovery unit in heating mode. The
titanium dioxide coated reflector has a long time high reflecting ability for solar energy capturing
because of its self-cleaning function. The proposed research will investigate electricity output, heat
and mass transfer properties through theoretical and experimental measures. A small scale
prototype system will be designed and constructed and tested under a range of conditions. The
proposed programme of work will take a maximum of 24 months to complete.

Multiphysics benchmark of electrical machines for efficiency optimization
Description of the project offered:
The design optimization of electrical machines, and particularly the optimization of the efficiency of
large MW generators (e.g. for wind turbine applications) and traction machines (e.g. railway and
automotive applications) requires to build accurate models of their electromagnetic, thermal and
vibro-acoustic behavior. The coupling between the physics can be illustrated by two simple examples
: firstly, the winding Joule losses increase with the winding temperature increase, making it
necessary to run coupled thermal and electromagnetic simulations when calculating efficiency ;
secondly, the optimization of the efficiency in a given volume can lead to external rotor topologies,
with lower mechanical strength than an external stator topology, leading to higher vibration and
noise due to electromagnetic forces.
Thermal models include analytical models, nodal thermal networks, hydraulic networks, and CFD ;
electro-vibro-acoustic models of Maxwell force excitations also include analytical and semi-analytical
models, electromagnetic and structural FEM, etc.
However, there is a clear lack in the scientific community of extensive multiphysics measurements
and simulations on a known geometry of electrical machines.
This project therefore aims at stimulating research in the field of electrical machines noise and
vibrations (NVH) design and thermal design by
- defining a clear benchmark of electrical machines vibroacoustic behavior due to Maxwell forces,
including synchronous and asynchronous topologies, internal & external rotor
- defining a clear benchmark of self-ventilated electrical machines thermal behaviour, including
synchronous and asynchronous topologies, internal & external rotor
- running extensive electrical, thermal, acoustic and vibration measurements on these benchmark
cases
- running extensive simulations on these benchmark cases using the latest simulation tools, from
analytical to fully numerical methods (FEM & BEM)
- post-processing all the data and publishing the results, including the full benchmark data (CAD files,
simulation results, experimental results) to allow all the researchers to evaluate their own simulation
methods and models on this standard benchmark

Evaluation of integrating Renewable-H2 microgrid to achieve high performance energy supply in
building environment
Description of the project offered:
The aim of the project is to improve the reliability, quality, efficiency and management of power
systems based on fuel cells and renewable energy for build environment applications.
Buildings account for more than 40% of energy consumption in Europe. Increasing energy efficiency
and using renewable energy resources are the most sustainable solutions for cutting consumption.
However, the intermittent nature of renewable energy such as wind, solar, etc.. pose new challenges
in including them in the current electrical system. The major concern is related to the stability and
reliability of the electrical supply caused by natural fluctuations of this type of energy. The use of
hydrogen-based energy systems to store excess power and fuel cells to produce electricity from the
stored hydrogen is proposed solution to solve this problem.

Materials for building envelope
Description of the project offered:
"Kvarit" (thermo-insulating construction material) sustainable industrial production innovation
project. The manufacturing method and technology have been duly patented and registered.
Indoor volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have posed significant risks to human health since people
have both shifted to a life spent, for the most part, indoors. Further, changes in materials used in the
construction of buildings, furnishings, and tools either leak or encourage the production of VOCs.
Whether these enclosed areas are residences, hospitals or workplaces (specifically composting
facilities or closed farm buildings for raising livestock), VOCs can rise to levels that threaten people’s
health. VOCs can either originate from phenolic and benzene-like compounds in building materials
and office furniture or from molds (fungi) growing inside improperly ventilated or sealed buildings.
Regardless of the source, exposure to VOCs could lead to significant health concerns from sickbuilding syndrome, ‘leukemia houses,’ in-hospital fungemia cases or occupation-associated cancer
epidemics due to aflatoxicosis. Innovative 21st-century building materials could offer solutions to
these challenges. We propose that volcanic materials, clays and minerals (volcanic tuff, modified clay
montmorillonite and mineral clinoptilolite), in their original or chemically modified form, could act
like synthetic lungs in building walls, breathing and filtering VOCs, and thus limiting human exposure
to disease.
"Kvarit", actually, is a pumice or volcanic tuff with ability to change shape and density. Its primary
use is thermo-insulating construction material, also it may be helpful other areas of usage:
• fire-resistant
• reduce microbial contaminants and airborne fungal carcinogens of indoor environments
• helps to maintain soil moisture
• corrosion-resistant
• noncorroding with water, flightless with wind
Product costs are competitive:
1. technology under review requires no cement.
2. technology involved provides for no water consumption.
3. No careful treatment of the fractionated raw stock being required.
4. the total energy consumption of 3.14 times less than the theoretical energy requirements for the
production of expanded clay (power consumption in the laboratory – 270 KVA/cbm of production
with density 500 kg/cbm.).
Summary:
1. Output is controlled easily;
2. The range of finished products and their volume weight are easily adjusted;
3. Studies can be conducted and additives used for manufacturing products;
4. Energy can be obtained from renewable sources, and unstable power supply affects output, but
not the quality of products.
5. Raw materials for "Kvarit" is widespread around the world: quarries wastes, mudslides and
landslides, construction and demolition wastes, slate or shale quarries.
6. The manufacturing method/technology precludes: noise, evaporated water, nitrogen and nitrogen
oxides liberation.
7. A product of any desired density (in the range of 300-800 kg/m3) can be obtained.
8. Flushing tailings contain humus and dust-like clay shale having up to 3% potassium and can be
used for land reclamation.
9. No dust present, the plant can dispense with ventilation and suction equipment.
10. Manufacturing enterprise annual production capacity of 50,000 cubic meters (alternative to
claydite blocks) allows preclusion of 8000 – 10000 tons of CO2.
The main technical barrier - high temperature -1250 ° C

GREEN MANURE AS A SOURCE OF MICROELEMENT NUTRITION FOR CROPS
Description of the project offered:
Green manure (GM) is an important factor in regulation of mineral nutrition for crops, especially in
organic farming conditions. GM of different plant species varies both in accumulation-ability for
proper micro-elements (ME), and in tempos of organic matter mineralization in soil, due to an
essential difference in their chemical compositions. As a result, green cropped mass of different
plants is characterized by different composition and speed of nutrient’s’ release, including microelements as well.
Determination of promising plants species, in terms of their efficient quality as a green fertilizer (the
source of micro-elements), is proposed. Of a certain scientific and practical interest is a velocity of
floral residuals’ transformations in soil that defines speed of nutrients’ release, and time needed for
their availability to the follow-on plant-link of cropping- rotation.
Results of these studies shall help nominating a list of prospective crops and various combinations
hereof to be of maximal effect as a green bulk manure capable to meet the crops’ demand for
micro-elements. Release of micro-elements in the process of GM decomposition is expected to
coincide in time with critical phases of crops development, i.e., when plants are especially
responsive to ME nutrition.
Special- purpose studies with various plant species, in different soil & climate conditions shall be
implemented to determine an extent of MEs concentrations availability in plant residues during
critical phases of main crop development.

Lightweight ceramics. Development of lightweight ceramic materials with food and packaging
wastes
Description of the project offered:
The project’s main objective is to investigate ways of using wastes from packaging classification
plants and food waste in the production of lightweight ceramic materials. ITC has been working for
many years in the development of lightweight ceramics (from high porosity bricks to cellular
ceramics) with controlled porosity. One way commonly used in the development of lightweight
ceramics is the addition of organic compounds to typical ceramic raw materials (clays, feldspars,
quartz,…). Selectively collected organic waste can be a source of organic matter, being coffee
grounds especially adequate for the intended use. The same thing happens with the wastes from
packaging classification plants (there is a small percentage of packaging materials that cannot be
separated and recycled). The project will focus on the development of lightweight ceramic materials
for different uses (from insulating building materials and lightweight ceramic tiles for façades or
ceilings to ceramic containers for food products). The key research challenges will be: selecting the
suitable types of wastes from packaging classification plants and food wastes and developing highcontent-waste ceramics with controlled porosity that provide the required properties for each
intended use. The selection of the most suitable wastes must be performed taking into account not
only principles of ceramic processing but also concepts of waste hierarchy (recycling only what
cannot be reduced or reused) and the environmental sustainability of the different products
developed (from a LCA perspective). The development of systems for food waste sorting (for
example selective collection of coffee grounds) can be a necessary step, depending on the results of
the project.

Smart and Integrated battery–free electronic system for Container Identification Monitoring and
Tracking in Intermodal Transport (SICIMT)
Description of the project offered:
Project coordinator: UNIVERSITY OF LAS PALMAS DE GRAN CANARIA (SPAIN)
The market of goods transportation is crucial for the worldwide trade. In spite of it, there is a lack of
practical applications of new technologies applied to the logistics, organization and management in
the sector of merchandise transport. In particular, the implantation of the automatic systems for
containers positioning, tracking and status would result in an important reduction of the costs, a
better service and in special, an improvement in the security of the transport. The implementation
of mechanisms for goods identification, and measurement of special–interest parameters, such as
temperature and possible damages indicators —temperature and impact sensors— is the first step
in the application of intelligent systems and new technologies of application to the transport field.
The automatic identification of the goods transported in each container, using the new UHF long
range passive tags, is an attractive solution. In this way, a continuous traceability of the
merchandises may be possible.
In this project, we will implement and test a full system for intermodal transport applications
including for each container:
1) A GNSS module and applications.
2) An external communication subsystem and applications.
3) An internal RFID reader (to identify the tags of the transported goods) and applications.
4) A temperature and an impact sensor to monitor the status of the container and applications.
5) Custom digital certificates and applications.

nanoporous structure formation and creating the effective hydrogen storages for the fuel cells.
Description of the project offered:
The purpose of offered project is to form the materials that are capable of retaining hydrogen both
in its molecular and atomic states.
Our work experience gained during the last years shows that the best results can be achieved due to
the use of radiation technologies. These technologies allow for maximum increase in the degree of
nonequilibrium process of materials production, which is mandatory for nanostructures formation.
We have developed and use now the ion beam-assisted deposition technology (IBAD method) for
creation of thin-film hydrogen adsorbents. It is known that this method is based on intensive
bombardment of deposited material with high energy gas ion beams, which leads to the cardinal
change in the mechanisms of grain nucleation and growth. The formed nanostructures in
combination with intergranular nanoporosity are ideal objects for hydrogen adsorption.
We created nanoporous compounds and studied their structural and phase changes at all the stages
of film growth as well as their electrophysical, mechanical and adsorption properties. It is shown that
the variation of basic parameters of the process of ion beam –assisted deposition allows for
formation of pores of a different size that are filled with gases to a different degree. The adsorption
capacity of pores was changed from 4.5 to 7.4 wt.% H2.
It should be noted that nitrogen ion bombardment during deposition provides formation of
nanoporous structures and nitrides as well. Such combination gives an opportunity to
simultaneously use both physical and chemical adsorption mechanisms.
The obtained results give us grounds to define the key goals of the offered project, in particular, we
are looking for project partners for developing the radiation-induced technology for nanoporous
structure formation and creating the effective hydrogen storages for the fuel cells.

Assessing the biodiversity value of agricultural lands in Europe
Description of the project offered:
Agricultural lands provide habitat for many plant and animal species. The abandonment of
traditionally managed farmlands in Europe, particularly in Mediterranean Europe, has led to the loss
of many rare species from the landscape. Because Europe is still largely dominated by agricultural
land uses, traditional farming has an important role in conserving Europe's biodiversity. Accordingly,
economic incentives have recently been developed to keep High Nature Value (HNV) farmlands in
operation. HNV farmland is determined based on the presence of key land cover features and the
intensity of the farming operation. However, the exact contribution of different HNV farmlands to
European biodiversity have not been assessed. For example, what species assemblages benefit from
low intensity grazing pastures versus mixed cropping systems? What proportion of these species are
rare or endangered? and how do these relationships vary spatially from region to region? By
answering these and related questions, this project seeks to asses the biodiversity value of HNV
farmlands in Europe in order to better inform future agricultural incentivization programs.

Gravity Engine - Renewable Energy
Description of the project offered:
[Technical Field] The present invention relates to a field of physics and mechanical engineering, the
creation of new alternative renevable energy sources. Gravity Engine converts the potential energy
of the gravitational field of the Earth into mechanical energy and through the turbine and the
generator produces electricity. [Background Art] A well-known way to use the force of gravity is
hydroelectric power station, which by means of hydraulic structures and forces of water pressure
supplied to the blade turbine drives generators producing electricity. This method has great power,
but is limited in use due to spesial condition and high costs. [Forming tasks] Our task was to create a
fundamentally new system of selection of gravitational energy of the Earth. And it should not be
limited either by hydraulic structures or seasonal factors, or great financial cost. Since the gravity is
everywhere on the planet Earth , it would be logical to assume that it can be selected and used
everywhere too. So far there exist neither autonomous nor portable systems which would allow
using the force of gravity in private homes, on transport and completely without any restrictions in
all industries. It would be reasonable to refuse transmitting electric power via transmission lines with
numerous and bulky resistances and avoid huge losses due to active resistance of the metal
conductor. Instead, electricity could be produced by force of gravity in any place and unlimited
quantity. It should be noted that the invention of gravitational engine is completely new technical
device based on the basic laws of phisics. The present invention is not only a theoretical research but
innovation as well because we have found its practical application and made another working model
which is perfect enough. But we want to use the experience of European science and to improve
those parts of our invention as : electronics, electrical, pneumatic, hidraulic, automation, security,
remote control. And also to prepare Gravity Engine to industrial production. This is great , but
projected volume of work. I have already registered with the EPO (European Patent Office) as
inventor - Mr.Igor Tsebenko 34901. I am also an owner of a smart card and deposit account with
number 280400176 from the EPO. And now I'm ready to patent my invention (Description, Claims,
Abstract - PDF, and Drawings PDF). Unfortunatelly in my country in Ukraine my project cannot be
realized . I'll work on this topic in the EU. I am looking for partners for cooperation in the European
Union. I am ready to move my lab, equipment, research model and work together. I want to take
part in the program Horizon 2020.
