Critical Thinking Reflection

The critical thinking module has been one of the most beneficial modules in my learning because it has greatly improved my cognitive skills. When I began this module, my objective was to enhance my communication and presentation skills to deal with my stage anxiety and interact with an audience properly. I have made some progress towards these objectives using different drills and chances to perform. I have also learned that practising in front of friends and looking in the mirror to check my performance has been quite helpful in dealing with stage fright. All these have helped me to improve my body language and delivery style thus giving me a more confident and polished delivery. However, there is still potential for development, and I am aware of that. A common challenge whenever that I am face presenting, is that is I unprofessional. fold This my has arms to and be place done my while hands ensuring in that my one pockets does not fold his or her arms or fold the arms in a way that ...

As the global community confronts the challenges of climate change, Hydrogen fuel cells have emerged as a promising solution to the transition to sustainable clean energy. Their high efficiency and low emissions have made them particularly appealing to the automobile industry (Hyundai Motor Company, 2014-b). However, there are significant technological barriers that must be addressed to unlock their full potential (Bird&Bird,2023). Hydrogen fuel cells operate at an efficiency of 60%, compared to a traditional internal combustion engine, where the efficiency is at 35%, with water vapour as the byproduct(Hu et al., 2023). This high efficiency and clean operation have made them ideal for achieving global clean energy goals (McKinsey & Company 2023). In Addition, hydrogen can be produced from the use of renewable sources such as wind, solar and biomass, emphasizing its role in renewable energy sources (Hyundai Motor Company,2024-b). However, some benefits hinge on the widespread ...

Project contributions

Research Project subject: Drone tether system 1) I added our ideas to the meeting minutes and added the advantages and disadvantages of our ideas  2) I researched drones using gAI and Google search and have to learn more about them. Then, I did it on the tether system. 3) I added the research status on the meeting minutes page.  4) Started writing the report on our project using Microsoft Word document.   5) The problem statement was added to the cover page of our report.  6) I presented the cons of the drone tether system and proposed an ideal solution to NACT engineering.  7) I presented the conclusion of our modular drone tether system and included an example of it.  8) I added the benefits of our modular drone tether system and refined it using gAI. 9) I added the evaluation of our drone tether system and refined it using gAI.

As our global community is seeking sustainable energy sources to combat climate change. Government and industries are exploring greener alternatives to fossil fuels to support clean energy goals. Hydrogen fuel cell technology has emerged as a promising solution.  According to the article on Michigan Tech's article "An Energy Breakthrough: Tech Researchers Create New Type of Fuel Cell"(2023) states that hydrogen fuel cells are highly efficient as they require less energy to convert to electrical energy. It produces zero emissions, making them a compelling option for future powered renewable energy.  The efficiency rate for fuel cells is 60% whereas for normal fuel engines is at 30 to 35%. (Hu, Su, & Wei, 2023). Moreover, Hydrogen can be produced using renewable resources like wind, solar and biomass, making it a renewable fuel source (Hyundai Motor Company, 2024). There are different kinds of hydrogen productions, green hydrogen, blue hydrogen and grey hydrogen. Green...

Michigan Tech's article "An Energy Breakthrough: Tech Researchers Create New Type of Fuel Cell"(2023) states that Hydrogen fuel cells are making significant advancements in the clean energy sector, with a promising role in reducing global emissions. Hydrogen fuel cells are highly efficient, requiring less energy to convert to electrical energy. The efficiency rate for fuel cells is 60% whereas for normal fuel engines is at 30 to 35%(Hu, Su, & Wei, 2023). Moreover, Hydrogen can be produced using renewable resources like wind, solar and biomass, making it a renewable fuel source (Hyundai Motor Company, 2024). Hydrogen fuel cells offer great versatility in their applications. It ranges from powering cars and trucks to stationary power plants. As for refuelling, it takes about 8 minutes to be fully powered whereas else it takes about 20 minutes for an Electric Vehicle (EV) to charge up. This makes hydrogen fuel cells an appealing solution for the transport industry that...

Initial Research Pathway

Image
Topic chosen: Hyundai Hydrogen fuel cells  1) After a discussion with my partner Darius, we have decided to write about hydrogen fuel cells as it was interesting how hydrogen was able to power a car  2) After extensive research using Google and looking at the Hyundai motor company's official website, we have picked out a car model, the Hyundai Nexo, a second-generation car which runs on Hydrogen fuel cells and was unveiled in 2019.     3) We have researched various kinds of hydrogen fuel cells using Google and chat GPT by prompting"Different kinds of hydrogen fuel cells", we have decided to write in P roton Exchange Membrane or in short PEM fuel cells.  4) We have chosen PEM cells as it is used in the Hyundai Nexo. we have researched articles using Google Scholar on how the PEM cells work and their key features. We have written on the advantages and disadvantages of the PEM cells.  5) Using Chat GPT by prompting "Do such policies of hydrogen fuel cells...

Michigan Tech's article "An Energy Breakthrough: Tech Researchers Create New Type of Fuel Cell"(2023) states that hydrogen fuel cells are making advancements and have a role in making clean energy for the world. Fuel cells emit zero emissions, and it is highly efficient as they require less energy to convert to electrical energy. The efficiency rate for fuel cells is 60% whereas for normal fuel engines is at 30 to 35%.  According to the Hyundai Motor Company press conference (2023), Hydrogen can be produced by renewable sources like wind, solar and biomass. it is deemed to be a renewable hydrogen potential. It is also versatile as it can power cars, trucks, and stationary power plants in the future. As for refuelling, it takes about 8 minutes to be fully powered whereas else it takes about 20 minutes for an Electric Vehicle (EV) to charge up. There are various types of hydrogen fuel cells being utilised in the market. One of the examples will be the Proton Exchange...
