We have a new version of the requirements for the turbines, this version has some more details and confirmed demands. 

Besides these specs we have the type of pneumatic connectors that will be used 'Stäubli RCS-06'. The turbines will need to be equipped with a male connector.

Two days of Nederland Innoveert

Today and yesterday the event Nederland Innoveert took place at the Onderzeebootloods (the old subnarine shipyard) in Rotterdam. We did two workshops/demo's and had a stand at the RDM Centre of Expertise. The workshops didn't seem to attract a lot of people but the stand was visited very often.

The stand was manned by Lodewijk Voorhoeve of team Omega, Marc van der Meijde and Emile Jackson.

We also met several teachers who were interested in attending the Rotterdam Turbine Challenge with groups of pupils. Next week we will do some visits at different schools.
