Projects
Electronic Camshaft June-August 2011
Senior Design II, Denton Texas
This project was a digital representation of how a mechanical camshaft would work in four stroke combustible engines. This electronic camshaft would allow a user to change the technical aspects of a camshaft electronically. The idea is to replace the camshaft and its components, such as the push rods, with electronic modules. In this design, a program will send a signal to the modules telling it when to push the valves down and when to ignite the spark plug. There will need to be sensors located on the crankshaft to communicate with the program. A user interface was set up which will allow four camshaft presets to be selected. These presets will change the duration of the valves, acting like a mechanical camshaft. The user interface controls the timing for the modules. This is done based on the data it receives from the sensors that will be located on the Crankshaft. This was all theoretical for this project since everything was demonstrated using the arduino board. The Control Device was program for the electronic camshaft. An LCD screen displayed the functions of the electronic modules.
Portable Power Outlet January-May 2011
Senior Design I, Denton Texas
The purpose of this is to have a portable outlet that can save money on electricity while providing self-efficient power. This project would be useful for outdoor work or camping. The design of this project consists of solar cells, solar tracker, a voltage regulator, batteries, an inverter, and an outlet. Constructing the solar panels using solar cells that were purchased would be ideal. A solar tracker would help with the efficiency of the solar panel. Since the panels made are not as efficient as desired for this project it was decided to put a car outlet for the input of the whole system. A person could plug the panel into this outlet, and also could use a car to charge the batteries if driving on a trip they might be planning to use this on. This way one could also plug in a phone charger to the input and charge directly from the batteries. A switch was installed with a diode so that there will be no back charge at night. This way if a person wanted to charge a phone the switch can be used so that it can send a charge back the other way.
