Alexey Vool

Design, modeling and simulation of the diesel/gas locomotive engine of about 400 kW, based on my previous Project05. Fits to different consumers: from railway locomotives to aircrafts, from boats to industrial and building technique as well as gensets and cogeneration sets.

Design of an original fuel injection system: electronically controlled pump-injector 1500 bars with minimal number of precision parts. Permits to use different kinds of fuels, as well as to mix a fuel with some amount of water (with emulsifying agent). Can provide to improve significantly the ecological parameters of the engine and improve the efficiency. Renewals and upgrades the automotive turbochargers.

Developing of the Vool Manyfold Engines (VME) projects. Design, modeling and computer simulation of a new Project05 - modified, improved and simplified version of previous Pr04. Design of a new type of cylinder head with hydrostatic valve and pump-injector unit drives, completed water-cooling system. Original tech solutions; main attempts was directed to minimize the maintenance and increase the lifetime. Renewal and upgrades the automotive turbochargers.

Bench tests of the Pr04 engines. Consideration and analysis of the test results. Experimental works to select and/or improve the different tech solutions: sealing of the piston stems (11 variants), underpiston compressor valves drive (mechanically driven and automatically air-driven). Preparing and publishing the scientific reports and articles. Renewal and upgrades the automotive turbochargers.

Design and making of the next generation of an experimental diesel engines Pr04. New technical solutions: improved crank-crosshead power mechanism, hydrostatic valve drive, underpiston compressor, self-adjusting crank bearings, original low noise straight teeth power gearing. Turbochargers repairs with partial changes to improve the standard units meaning to increase the lifetime and boosting.

Experimental works with mechanical engineering technologies: casting of housing parts of the engine, micro arc oxide covering of aluminum alloys, different kinds of gear machining. Turbochargers repairs.

Design and making the next project of an alternative mech diesel engine (Project 02, V4, 2.8 l, very compact). First launch was about 01/2000. Original fuel system based on Bosch fuel pump PES4MW equipped with governing stepping motor from usual printer. Design and implementation the original governing algorithm to increase the rapidity and reduce the energy consumption of electronic governing system. The tests, exploring and improvements of the new engine design. Turbochargers repairs.

01 Self-initiative scientific project the Directly Injected Diesel Engine with alternative mechanics (Project01, V4, 2.0 l). First launch - 30/12/1998. Homemade construction excepting the cylinder heads. Fuel system based on Stanadyne Roosa Master DB2 pump had the homemade distributing pumping unit. The experience of different kinds of machining incl precision. First experience of exploitation of diesel passenger car (1994). First experience of different diesel engines repairs. Turbochargers repairs for

Study the principles of the Diesel Engines Design. Had the paid teaching course of basic engine calculations from Leader of the Computed Engine Simulation's Department of "Serp i Molot" Diesel Engine Plant, Kharkov, Ukraine. First experience of the work with technical CAD systems (AutoCAD).

Learning some design software (CorelDRAW, Autodesk 3D Studio). First experience to use this software to design the technical objects (like four wheel driven minivan).

Design, production preparing and equipment of repetition work to produce the Compact Spot Welding Apparatuses (MAKS-4, 2+2 mm maximum, 220V, 4 kW, 9.3 kg). Good experience of the work with different types of machining (drilling, turning, milling, grinding etc.). Sale of the MAKS-4's product documentation to military plant (Viatskie Poliany, Russia). Sale of the own share in joint venture. The received funds was invested to equip an own research laboratory.

Studied the positive displacement hydraulic technique. Invented, calculated and simulated the original method of Hydraulic steam governing for energy loss reduction in the positive displacement hydraulic transmission (pulsed principle like electronic converters). It permits to change the pressure in front of hydraulic load when the source has constant pressure. The work had expertise and positive appreciation from experts of "Rubin Aviation Corp", Russia, civil and military aircraft hydraulic systems).

Learning the fundamentals of electric welding. Design and making a few different welding apparatuses: arc welding, semiautomatic wire welding (CO2 and Ar), compact spot welding apparatus. One of them has came the basis of the first commercial business.

Studying the ultrasonic technique. First practical interest and practical experience with diesel engines. Attempts to repair the damaged diesel fuel system (Mercedes OM615). Have designed and made the ultrasonically controlled fuel injector. It even worked that seems strange now.

First experience of self-depending commercial project. The order of Donetsk Institute of Electronic Materials: Design, making and launch the Setting for investigations of high-temperature superconductivity, including synchronized digitally-controlled pulse generator (0-255 Amps) and highly-sensitive pulse converter (0-100 µV). The setting was actively exploited until Institute's closing in year 2000.

Design, making and launch 3 special devices for magnetic investigations in wide range of temperatures. Learned the high-voltage electronic systems and sensitive fast pulses amplifiers and converters, solving the problems of noise-reduction. Designed devices are still in active scientific exploitation up to this date.

Research and synthesis of CMOS integral circuits in Design Bureau of Novosibirsk Semiconductor Devices Plant. Design of CMOS digital and analog-to-digit electronic devices, initiative to design the CMOS magnetic sensors. First interest to Internal Combustion Engines.
