He loves sailing, so... he printed his own canoe. Project by Eng. Maciej Karnowski

He loves sailing, so... he printed his own canoe. Project by Eng. Maciej Karnowski
He's a sailing fan, but didn't have room to store a large boat, so he decided to go for something smaller. As 3D printing is also his passion, so he printed ... a canoe in which he traverses the Motława River and the Martwa Wisła. Maciej Karnowski, a graduate of ocean engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology has just defended his engineering thesis entitled "The use of 3D printing in kayak prototyping".

The kayak was printed at home, it is 2.3 m long and 80 cm wide. Maciej Karnowski designed the boat in such a way that it could be transported by a small car.

 – I printed the canoe at home and it took me a total of 400 hours – the printer worked about six hours a day. It is much smaller than a standard boat of this type, which usually measures about three meters - noted the graduate.

Machines in space and traffic on space routes in TVP3 Gdańsk

Machines in space and traffic on space routes in TVP3 Gdańsk
On November 3, 1957, 64 years ago, Soviet satellite Sputnik 2 with the dog called Łajka on board was launched into space. Today we know that experiments involving animals are immoral. After all, the technology has developed significantly, as can be seen at Gdańsk University of Technology.

Here, also at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, scientists and students work on innovative research and devices. Study courses associated with space are being launched. These were the subjects of the speech delivered by Marek Chodnicki, PhD, ME in TVP3 Gdańsk show "Good morning, Gdańsk speaking".

Professor Zbigniew Korczewski in TOK FM about wind farms: "I see more advantages than disadvantages"

Professor Zbigniew Korczewski in TOK FM about wind farms: "I see more advantages than disadvantages"
Advantges and disadvantages of the off-shore wind turbines and challenges associated with this issue were discussed by professor Zbigniew Korczewski in an interview in TOK FM science show "Practical Science", hosted by Karolina Głowacka.

Looking at the wind farms, I see significantly more advantages than disadvantages. First of all, bearing in mind the major objective associated with them – namely reaching climate and environmental neutrality as soon as possible in order to decrease the greenhouse effect anc CO2 emission. Building off-shore wind farms increases the chances of reaching the target – said professor Zbigniew Korczewski, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, coordinator of the GUT Center for Off-shore Wind Energy, in TOK FM science show.

Everything can be measured here. A modern Metrology Lab has been opened at the FMEST

Everything can be measured here. A modern Metrology Lab has been opened at the FMEST
Structural elements of modern machines, cars, airplanes, medical appliances and household appliances are increasingly more precise and their shapes are increasingly complex. In order to produce them and to control their parameters, very precise and efficient measuring tools are necessary. Such tools can be found at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, where a state-of-art metrology laboratory sponsored by a Japanese company Mitutoyo wa launched on Tuesday, 12 October. 

Laboratory was launched - with a symbolic cutting of the ribbon - by GUT Rector, professor Krzysztof Wilde, PhD, DSc, ME, FMEST Dean professor Andrzej Seweryn, PhD, DSc, ME and vice-president of Mitutoyo company - Jakub Ruszkowski. 

– The measuring devices and apparatus can be applied in automotive, aviation and medical industry, to mention but a few, where transparent, reliable and repeatable results that can be achieved quickly are of utmost importance - says professor Krzysztof Wilde, rector of the GUT. 

We strive for the best. The 2021/2022 academic year is begun!

We strive for the best. The 2021/2022 academic year is begun!
– Behind us there is the difficult time when you had to show great determination and creativity – so as to cope with unusual conditions for work and study. I hope that the new academic year will be easier for all of us, and you will be able to focus on your work and study here, within the walls of the University of Technology campus - said the rector, prof. Krzysztof Wilde at the beginning of the ceremonial session of the Senate of Gdańsk University of Technology inaugurating the academic year 2021/2022.

In his inaugural speech, which preceded the reading of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's letter to the academic community, the rector emphasized that the last academic year was exceptional not only due to the unusual working and study conditions caused by the pandemic, but also due to the achievements of Gdańsk University of Technology, including the presence in the prestigious "Shanghai ranking" that lists 1000 of the best universities in the world, success in the Times Higher Education ranking and the highest position in the history of the university in the
