the smallest size drive, rated at230 volts and 1 hp. The current price for these drives is $235,which meant we could buy drives for all eight workstations forless than the price of a single “name brand” drive. The drives arepulse-width-modulated, IGBT drives and are fully-featuredincluding simple volts/hz control, sensorless vector control withautotune, and adjustable acceleration/deceleration ramps withlinear and S-curves, among others. The drive has an RS485 portfor communications that can be configured for ethernetcommunication with an optional interface. The drive is relativelycompact, measuring less than 5" wide, 7" tall, and 6.5" deep.The drive can be configured using the human interface module(HIM), which is mounted at the top, right

lease agreement required that thetractor be returned in the same condition in which it wasreceived, it made a fine test bed for the ensuing project. F i g 1 : T r a c t o r U s e dThe second major resource made available was the easy availability of hydrogen gas resultingfrom the presence of the electrolyzer itself. The unit was a Hydrogenics model HySTAT-30refueling station6 which consists of a generation and compression module, storage ability and adispenser module. This system is capable of producing about 30 kg of hydrogen per day and isable to dispense the gas at controllable pressures up to 5000 psi. The water supplied to this unitwas

technical and social content.This need for energy education is the fundamental motivation for the energy awareness efforts atBaylor University. According to the National Energy Policy7, the U. S. must have between 1,300and 1,900 new electricity generation plants in place to meet the projected 45% increase inelectrical demand by the year 2020. Economic and political policies often reflect the unspokenassumption that the United States will be able to continually increase its reliance on naturalresources and more importantly, energy resources. On May 2, 2007, a local newspaper editor Page 13.491.2took time to remind the public of the energy history

produce the same output voltage from a mass flowcontroller. The GCF is a function of specific heat, density, and the molecular structure of thegases. In our case pure hydrogen is used as the baseline gas but flow controllers are usuallycalibrated with nitrogen. To calculate the Gas Correction Factor (GCF) for pure gases, followingformula is used: (0.3106)( S ) GCFx = (d x )(cp x )where GCFx is the gas correction factor for gas x (In our case hydrogen gas used),0.3106 is the factor of (Standard Density of nitrogen) and (Specific Heat of nitrogen),S is the molecular structure correction factor where S is 1.03 for
