List of projects in fall 2015 ENGR120 Indroduction to Engineering and Design.
Noah Rupert and Matthew Davis
By building a windmill, which is clean free energy, we can generate the electricity necessary to separate hydrogen from water. We can then use this hydrogen in a fuel cell whenever we need the energy. Storing energy in the form of hydrogen is much more efficient than the use of batteries.
Mateusz Kroczyk and Michael McDaniel
Music boxes traditionally use either a wound up spring or a crank to power a system of gears mechanically. The idea sparked within us to create a music box that recieves its mechanical energy from the wind.
Andrew Gagiu and Matthew Aguard
For our Freshman project, we decided to design and develop our own working windmill. We wanted to use simple parts to show the effectiveness of the device with common materials. We also wanted to demonstrate a unique use of a windmill.
Ashton Fletcher and Leodan Morales
As my teammate and I brain stormed about the posibilities that we could produce from the rotatery motion caused by the windmill, we stumbled upon the idea of a wind powered pencil sharpening device. We wanted to design a device that would not only be simple but very effective and helpful. The design itself is very simple, cubic frame with cart wheels on the inside to serve as "bearings" for the pvc which is connected to the blades of the windmill. The other end of the pvc is then connected to the pencil sharpener and rotates it to sharpen the pencils. The device works effectivily and is a grand success.
Trey Bosfield and Issac Smith
The project was to create a self-propelling minature car using the stored energy from a set mousetrap as a motor to propel the car forward. This project served as a test of our ability to work under time pressure and to produce a working vehicle on a shoestring budget.
Karl and Jorge
We decide to do our project on taking the time to create a potato cannon made of PVC pipe and with the ability to shoot thanks to combustion. This cannon is otherwise known as the
"The Spud Gun".
Trinity Geary and M'saydez Campbell
We were to use our creativity and minds to create a windmill and make it do something. We chose to make it light up an LED.
Alicia Dooks and Elia Fletcher
We wanted to create something that uses renewable/green energy. We want to be able to make electricity for everyday use without having a negative impact on the environment. We want to use renewable resources, like wind, more fun and easy to use.
Ester and Michael Gray
Our objective was to design and construct a catapult that was capable of launching marshmallows at a long distance. We were able to construct a well –made catapult after brainstorming, sketching and testing. Through our design we display our project as a template of how catapults function.There were several specifications that had to be made to make a sturdy, simple and operative catapult.
Zachary Hanna and Mark Kent
Mechanical Archimedes Screw Pump was designed and constructed.
