Abstract: One of the major factors affecting honey quality is the method adopted in its extraction from the honeycomb. Most developing countries, particularly African countries lack appropriate equipment for honey extraction and this affects their honey export potential. This research aims to fabricate honey extractor using locally available materials. The study is conducted from design to fabrication and experiment to determine the performance evaluation of a honey extractor in comparison with the traditionally extracted method. The physiochemical properties of the extracted honey are determined to ascertain its quality against an international standard. The volume of the extraction chamber is 55,125 cm3 and has an extraction rate and efficiency of 69.0... |

This paper presents results from a test developed to simulate the water impact (slamming) loading of sandwich boat structures. A weighted elastomer ball is dropped from increasing heights onto rigidly supported panels until damage is detected. Results from this test indicate that honeycomb core sandwich panels, the most widely used material for racing yacht hulls, start to damage due to core crushing at impact energies around 550 J. Sandwich panels of the same areal weight and with the same carbon/epoxy facings but using a novel foam core reinforced in the thickness direction with pultruded carbon fibre pins, do not show signs of damage until above 1200 J impact energy. This suggests that these will offer significantly improved resistance to wave impact.... |
