Spring 2023 - Part 3: Laboratory Model v3 Development

LabModel v3: Integrated Prototype Fabrication: Nine researchers organised into three specialised teams executed the comprehensive design, fabrication, and instrumentation of LabModel v3, achieving a critical milestone in GREC technological maturation by delivering the first fully operational prototype capable of systematic experimental validation.

• Construction team: Design and development of a working prototype for the Green Revolution Energy Converter Andrei Toader, Ida Hellström and Simon Sandström, providing comprehensive engineering specifications including complete CAD documentation for LabModel v3 mechanical architecture.
