Table of Contents Dalhousie Formula SAE Team (2013-Present)
Member of Chassis Team Primarily responsible for force
calculations: Forces on the wheels Using Excel Spreadsheets Forces
on Bell crank Forces on engine mounts Designed engine mounts
Assisted with cost report Fabricated professional CAD drawings
using SolidWorks Assisted in assembly of vehicle
Table of Contents Dalhousie Robotics Team (2013-Present)
Competition: Design a robot that will navigate an obstacle course
while following GPS waypoints Focused on mechanical design and
construction of robot Helped design of smaller and more nimble
robot than the previous years robot Designed multi-directional
wheel mount on SolidWorks Helped optimize robot size using
SolidWorks Obtained valuable hands-on building experience
Table of Contents Wind Turbine Design Project (Winter 2014)
Project goal: To design and build a wind turbine for the purpose of
pumping water Led team of 3 to design and build an innovative
shrouded turbine Performed 100+ SolidWorks Flow Simulations to
optimize shroud design Designed innovated ball bearing system with
flanges for easy removal Designed structural aerodynamic system for
increased efficiency Result: Shroud drastically increased power
output and virtually eliminated noise and vibration
Wind Turbine Flow Simulations For proof of concept: For shroud
optimization: Table of Contents
Wind Turbine Ball bearings Used SolidWorks to design ball
bearings 1st iteration: needed to be permanently superglued 2nd
iteration: flanged for easy maintenance Table of Contents
Wind Turbine Support structure Support structure aerodynamics
shielded the 3D printed gears while decreasing turbulence through
center of turbine Table of Contents
Table of Contents Electronic Toy Car Design Project (Fall 2013)
Project Goal: Build a toy car with working headlights and
taillights, integrate 3D-printed body with given chassis Led team
of 4 to design creative flying car car body Designed and tested
circuitry for headlights, tail-lights, and flashing wing
lights
Table of Contents Electronic Toy Car - Circuitry
Table of Contents Basketball Hoop Design Project (Fall 2012)
Project Goal: Design an outdoor basketball hoop which can resist
high wind speeds, while being packaged in a box with restricted
dimensions and a weight limit Led team of 2 to design a robust
basketball hoop using Solid Edge ST4 Used McMaster Carr parts
supplier to obtain CAD models for fasteners
Table of Contents Hovercraft for Grade 11 Science Fair (Winter
2009) Designed and built a working hovercraft Carrying capacity of
1 adult (160+ lbs) Included propulsion and braking systems Used at
my High School by students for several years after my
graduation
