A comprehensive portfolio of my work
TRANSMISSION CORE
Group Project for ME 371 course. Designed "core" of sandwiched acrylic bushings that constrain two gears.
VEGGIE SLICER
Group Project for ME 370 course. Created enclosed gearbox and a linkage-based motion system.
PTS BULLDOZER
Bulldozer for Engineering Open House showcase. Includes printed gears and special attention to tread/belt tensioning.
RUBE GOLDBERG PROJECT
Group Project for ME 270 course. Includes a print-in-place mousetrap catapult and rack-and-pinion implementation.
SWERVE DRIVE
Prototype drive system with independently-controlled rotational and translational capabilities.
SPINDLE WRENCH
Torquing tool for solar car spindle. Uses two shear-resistant press-fit pins and a protruding core to restrict alignment.
MOUSETRAP CAR
Mousetrap-powered car for HS engineering class. Novel design features heavily copied in future semesters.
BRIDGE
Bridge for HS engineering class. Designed to be constructed via sliding "slices" throughout the core.
