This was part of my high school senior project in which I chose to design and construct a boat within 6 weeks. I designed and analyzed the structure using Rhino 4.0. and AutoCad. The construction method is that of a foam core between several layers of epoxy infused, bi-directional fiberglass. The hull has been completed but the remainder of the project ceased due to lack of resources.

A trebuchet designed to be compact and utilize modern materials to maximize energy delivered to the projectile. Through the use of many high strength pulleys and 6, 360lb extension springs, the trebuchet could send a 5lb pumpkin over 1000ft.

Since 3D printing was still relatively new and very expensive, I decided to build my own to save money and increase capability. It is accurate to 100 microns but can be tuned to 60 microns. It has proved very useful in prototyping and visualizing concepts.

Through the use of a high voltage inverted, it was possible to create an engine that ionized the air such that it would create thrust. This engine was mounted to a small scale boat to determine power consumption and force vectors. The purpose of this project was a science project to determine the validity of a high speed ion propelled craft for space travel.

Though the information is outdated, I gathered data and analyzed various factors affecting the costs of personnel solar panels for homes. The project was intended to determine the validity of purchasing solar panels based on location and current government reimbursement. It also dealt with other solar energies and large scale facilities.

I developed code and a device to demonstrate dynamics, particularly rotational to linear motion (or rotational motion alone). It could be set at a constant velocity or have an acceleration set as a function of time. It was based on powering a high torque motor through a MOSFET controlled by the PWM output on an Arduino Uno.
