“The Useless Machine”
The prototype version of a Christmas gift for my father.
How it works is whenever you move the switch in one direction an arm comes out and moves it back to its original position.
It consists of two servos controlled by an arduino uno.
Motorized Bicycle
After finding out you could buy motor kits online for under $100 I decided it would be a fun project to try and make a motorized bike.
The bike uses a 80cc two stroke engine
Overall the build was a great learning experience, once I got the oil to fuel ratio and (shamefully) learned how to use the clutch properly it worked like a charm!
Best part was when I was done messing around with it I was able to sell for a profit!
“Great Naval Race”
This was a school project that me and a group of my peers did in 2018, the objective was to make a boat (or submarine) capable of navigating around an obstacle and getting to the other side.
Our initial plan was to have a boat with a ducted fan steered by a servo but as the deadline approached and we decided it would be best to have a system that works consistently and turns at a set angle and opted to remove the servo design.
To save costs we used off the shelf drone components including the propeller and motor and used recycled goods such as water bottles for the construction of the actual boat
Usually this competition is done in the UCF reflection pond but unfortunately it was under construction our semester .
Our end result left some to be desired, though our boat did travel forward and move at a predictable angle, the thrust delivered by the motor was simply no match for the wind that day and we were unable to move onto the semifinals (though we did second best in our heat!)
