PROJECTS

* Power Converter: Designed and built transformer and boost converter and using PWM take 12VDC to 180VDC. An H_Bridge and PWM were used to create a sinewave from 180V DC to 110 V / 60 Hz AC.

* Coal to Wind: Replaced coal plants in Columbia and Oakridge (Wisconsin), and upgraded for 20% growth over the next decade using PowerWorld.

* Greenhouse Control System: Designed using a DSP with an HPI daughter card, a Matlab GUI, a soil-moisture sensor,& ambient light sensor, RGB LED stars, a small water pump. The moisture and light levels are controlled by plant type and age.

* Leakage Transformer Ballast: Designed using Excel and Matlab to maximize efficiency and minimize cost.

* Solar Battery Charger & Flashlight: Using a schematic and an unprinted board, the board layout was designed, implemented, debugged, and verified operation.

* Thermal Coffee Mug: Using a Peltier cooler, a PWM, and an IC sensor, the

circuitry was built, tested, and controlled by a GUI created in Labview.

* Zero Energy Housing: Team project across four engineering fields with Habitat for Humanity. A geothermal & solar water heater hybrid was designed. Using other efficient design techniques,the house was designed and tested using RETscreen.

* Stopwatch: Designed using Quartus, built from the gate level.
