My goal with this project was to build an animation of a horizontal stacked bar chart using Python. The inspiration and the data used for this came from the charts on the ourworldindata.org website [1]. I set a challenge for myself to see if I could build the same type of chart that is able … Continue reading Animated Stacked Bar Charts with Python and Matplotlib
A Sankey diagram is a visual representation of the categories and flow of quantities from one set of starting values to another set of end values. These diagrams are named after the Irish engineer Matthew Sankey who introduced the first such energy flow diagram in an 1898 article on the efficiency of steam engines [1]. … Continue reading Sankey Diagrams in Python for Energy Commodities Flows
This Python project aims to visualise several digital modulation schemes used in communication systems through waveforms and Constellation Diagrams. Modulation is the process of encoding binary information bits into a carrier waveform by varying certain characteristics of the wave. The carrier amplitude, frequency or phase shift can all be varied either separately on their own … Continue reading Simulating Digital Modulation Schemes and Constellation Diagrams
The field of energy harvesting focuses on the collection of ambient energy from the local environment that would otherwise be wasted. This ambient energy is predominantly found in three forms: kinetic energy from relative motion and vibrations, electromagnetic waves including radio waves, and heat dissipated from machines and electronics. Around 70% of the world’s generated … Continue reading Energy Harvesting with Thermoelectric Generators
Finding ways of generating reliable and sustainable energy will be a top priority for civilization in order to maintain our standard of living and economic development. The growth of developing nations will place an ever increasing demand for energy since generally, the annual energy use per capita is correlated with a country’s GDP per capita. … Continue reading The Future Potential of Nuclear Energy Technology
