Zipper (MEAM Machine) - Spring ‘23
Tasked with designing and building a complex machine to simulate the challenges of global design and manufacturing, I directed a team of 10 to build a small scale model of the Zipper amusement park ride.
Vertical Axis Wind Turbine - Fall ‘22
Built two vertical-axis wind turbines (a small-scale 3D printed prototype and a larger model) using performance data from the prototype to guide the design of the scaled-up version and to better understand the challenges of scaling.
Water Tower - Fall ‘22
Designed and built a tower-and-pump system to move water against gravity, store it at height, and release it through a custom nozzle to propel a puck. This project combined structural design and fluid mechanics.
