Exciting news! Dojo Research received grant funding from the Maine Technology Institute for our research project, Development of a High Efficiency Thermoacoustic Air Conditioner. The purpose of the project is to develop technologies that increase both the thermal efficiency and practicality of thermoacoustic (cooling with sound waves) devices for incorporation into consumer products such as air conditioners and heat pumps. If successful, this technology will completely eliminate the need for commonly used hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants which have been shown to be super-greenhouse gases.

We have been working with Ocean and Company to create a custom shark bead for their newly released shark tracking bracelets! This came down to the wire before the holiday season but we were able to make adjustments and get the final product ready for consumers.

We have been working to expand our prototyping capabilities! We recently added a Voltera V-One PCB printer to our arsenal. This machine expedites the creation of new PCBs and allows for quick turn around on necessary modifications. Similar to how a 3D printer allows for efficient mechanical prototyping, this PCB printer will extend our rapid response to our client's projects in the area of electronics prototyping.

Congratulations to Cellular Materials International (http://www.cellularmaterials.net) for winning a Phase II SBIR grant for their research project: High Heat Flux Thermal Management Technologies for Aluminum Decks. The purpose of the project is to develop technology to mitigate the effects of MV-22 Osprey exhaust impingement on the aluminum decks of the Spearhead-class Expeditionary Fast Transport (EPF). Dojo Research & Consulting will provide engineering support to this project by performing flow and thermal simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics and by consulting on measurement and instrumentation techniques for the experimental test program.
