PROJECT EXPERIENCE: - Participated, executed, documented and performed
calculations in various labs in the engineering department including
failure analysis, material and system dynamics and statics.
. Wave Energy Harvester. Theoretical development of a prototype that
could efficiently and economically harvest ocean wave energy and add
it to the power grid. It followed my idea of a vertical buoy and it
resulted in a 15-year lifespan zero-pollution floating buoy, which can
operate continuously using compressed seawater to generate energy.
Made mostly of stainless steel materials, as the corrosion was the
major factor affecting its lifespan. The project was cost-efficient
and had an output of just over 81Kw pee buoy. Conceived, presented,
helped document and optimize the wave energy harvester buoy project.
Completed Senior Year (January - March 2010).
. Boat-Lifting Project. Design of a boat-lifting mechanism and stress
analysis on all components with attention to maintainability,
lifespan, cost and safety factor. Graphical modeling and simulations
were used to show the key elements and their function. The mechanism
achieved the goal of lifting a 33,000lb boat in less than 5 minutes at
a height of 12 feet at a safety factor of nearly 4. Designed,
evaluated and optimized the project. Completed Senior year (November -
December 2009).
. Hydrogen Fuel Cells Research Project. An analysis of fuel cells using
water and other hydrogen-rich fuels dissociating into hydrogen using
chemistry principles to generate electricity. The project highlighted
the safety issues concerning storage of very high pressure and low
temperature liquids on board. Researched and compiled the project.
Completed Senior year (October - December 2009).
. Solar Panel Design Project. Made out of iron, the prototype consisted
in two 4-link bar mechanisms acting perpendicularly for tracking the
sun both daily and yearly. One 4-link mechanism was modified to
include a worm gear with speed reduction of 20:1 to simulate yearly
position displacement of the sun. Conceived, supervised and helped
build the solar panel prototype, which was the best project in the
series. Completed Junior year (April - June 2009).
