Fabrication of a prototype low power motor for indoor ventilation
This thesis focuses on the fabrication of a prototype Low Power Motor (LPM) for indoor ventilation. The proposed motor consists of electromechanical system (actuator), spring, motion translator, position controller and proximity sensor. The principle of the LPM is based on the integration of the mec...
