For our final institute tour at the University of Stuttgart, we visited the institute of Electrical Energy Conversion. Walking through all the EE labs, it definitely reminded me of all the projects I have sitting in various states of completion on my desk at home. Except my projects are significantly less entertaining.
Using inductive charging they had a proof of concept demo for wireless electric car charging stations. (Although we've all seen the idea of induced current a bunch of times, it was still amazing to see the light bulb light up when the second set of coils was moved over the driven wires. Yay science!)
Along with new projects, they also had quite a collection of old instruments and equipment including a machine that could mechanically take the Fourier transform of a signal. What?!? Pretty crazy.
