  • picture of chiller loop
    The Thermo Haake Phoenix II P2-C50P recirculating liquid chiller system uses propylene-glycol to provide up to 500W heat rejection at temperatures as low as -50 C for convective heat transfer research. Previous applications using an earlier Thermo
  • person laying supine on HERD
    The Human Eccentric Rotator Device (HERD) is an Earth-vertical rotator device to measure human physiological and cognitive responses. The device can be configured with the human seated upright or laying supine. The radius is up to approximately 8
  • Photobioreactor
    Algal photobioreactors are multifunctional systems that can be used to enable biologically-based atmospheric revitalization, waste management, and food production. The current focus of the algal research involves two studies - one investigating the
  • ionic liquid setup
    Electrochemical CO2 reduction in solution with Ionic Liquids enables unique approaches for providing oxygen and methane from in situ resources to meet crew metabolic needs and for rocket propellant production. The experimental setup is capable of
