This project was a part of my Intro to Mechanical Engineering class. As a practical exercise in test design and design optimization, we were directed to build a small wind turbine model and figure out which parameters would affect efficiency the most. My partner and I first decided which two variables we wanted to test,Continue reading “Wind Turbine Model (ME 201)”

This project was one of the most detailed Solidworks projects I’ve created, and it allowed me to explore the more aesthetic-focused side of Solidworks. I started with an image of this Hugo Boss watch I found online. From there, I modeled the minute hand and hour hand in Solidworks, and added them to a watchContinue reading “Watch Model (ME 231)”

For this project, I was assigned to model a moving mechanism in Solidworks and then fabricate it using the resources available at UW-Madison. I chose to adapt a set of blueprints from Elmer’s Tiny Engines, then build it in the UW-Madison TEAM Lab. My Solidworks model was accurate to the plans, and I also createdContinue reading “Model Steam Engine (ME 231)”
