Thermonuclear fusion for power generation
Osolsobě, Jiří ; Elbl, Patrik (referee) ; Sitek, Tomáš (advisor)
Controlled thermonuclear fusion opens up the possibility of using similar principles that take place in stars to produce energy on planet Earth. A fusion power plant would represent a stable, safe, emission-free and, for the foreseeable future, inexhaustible source of energy. Currently, the most researched fusion device is a tokamak using magnetic confinement of plasma, which is likely to become the reactor of the first fusion power plant. The international ITER tokamak will be a breakthrough project for the further development of controlled thermonuclear fusion, with the main objective of testing a number of key technologies and the suitability of the tokamak as a fusion power plant reactor. According to the European Union's plans, construction of the first EU-DEMO fusion power plant should start around 2040. This bachelor thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the origins, current status and future prospects of thermonuclear fusion and its energy applications.

A comprehensive technical economic analysis of an electric car and a hydrogen vehicle
Lašák, Ondřej ; Sitek, Tomáš (referee) ; Elbl, Patrik (advisor)
Modern human society has undergone rapid technological development, and, as a result, humanity has begun to change the climate of planet Earth. The result is rising average temperature across the planet and some areas are threatened to become uninhabitable. One of the causes of global warming is the high CO2 emissions arising, among other things, from transportation. That is why transport is being diverted from fossil fuels to alternative energy carriers such as hydrogen or to direct usage of electricity. The aim of this work is to compare a hydrogen car and a battery electric car in terms of emission and energy requirements. In the last part, the economic costs of the transformation of passenger transport to these new fuels are approximated. The comparison includes current conditions and outlook to the future.

Research of the effect of desicants on moisture adsorption
Němec, Mojmír ; Lisá, Hana (referee) ; Elbl, Patrik (advisor)
Desiccants are special materials that can effectively adsorb moisture from the surrounding air or space. Desiccants such as silica gel or molecular sieve are often used in laboratory applications, for example to determine the properties of solid fuels. The introduction of the research section is devoted to the description of these properties. The thesis then describes the methods used to accurately determine the moisture in solid fuels. The main part of the thesis is devoted to desiccators together with desiccants, which form a significant part in the process of determining moisture in solid fuels. The experimental part deals with the investi-gation of the effect of different desiccants on the rate of air moisture depletion in the desic-cator under laboratory conditions. The moisture loss in the desiccator is measured using the SHT4x Smart Gadget, which is placed in the desiccator together with the desiccant. The out-put of the experimental measurements are the moisture uptake rate curves of different desic-cants for desiccant weights of 50 g, 100 g, 150 g, 200 g and 250 g. At the end of the thesis, the measured curves of the different desiccants are compared with each other in terms of efficiency.
