For my final project I am planning on making a steampunk themed gear clock. My original inspiration comes from a clock that I had seen that was in my dorm room my freshman year. The clock that I am basing my design off of is shown below: This clock is a little different in that…

For the final project, I want to try and make the necklace pendant from the movie ‘The Illusionist’. After I first saw that movie, roughly ten years ago, I really wanted the necklace that was in the movie. Even though that was a really long time ago, every time I see that movie I still like…

Designing my prototype has allowed me to look much deeper into the overall design of my box. Although I did not completely answer the question of “what design goal am I striving for with my jewelry box?” I feel as though the comments and constructive criticism both classmates and Professor Hertzberg offered have been very helpful.…

I challenge you to name one person who hasn’t look up at night an wondered what is outside our atmosphere. Space has always drawn my interest and I don’t go one day thinking about how we could access it easier or find other objects that harbor life just like our earth. These reasons are why…

For this project i intend to make a lamp out of wood and stainless steel. I would like to get a stainless steel sheet or tube to manufacture this out of. This will be the inside structure of the lamp. For the prototype i have a utensil holder which demonstrates how the inner structure will…

I have been conceptualizing this project since last fall. Its an attempt to satisfy my desires for a backpack that I truly love. I am not trying to make the ‘best’ backpack ever invented, but one that satisfies my needs and one that is right for me. I want to use an Asian aesthetic with a minimalist/modern approach.…

Video Vision: My vision for the project was is to build something elegant, simple and secure. Being a mechanical engineer I can’t bring myself to make something that is not useful so I would also like to have the jewelry box be useful in storing jewelry. I’d also like the jewelry box to be secure…

It is known to come in patterns and different appealing structures. The following are some pictures demonstrating it(1) Figure 1:Example of design Figure 2: Example 2 of…

For my tie and belt rack, I’ve chosen to use mostly wood in order to adhere to my Organic aesthetic. The spin wheel will be made from a section of an actual tree.   I cut a section from a tree near my house and it is around 9 or 10 inches in diameter. This…

Introduction: I was talking about my project with my dad, just brainstorming, when he gave me the suggestion to build him a heartbeat sensor that he wears on his wrist that he can use while working out.   He wanted something that would indicate when his heart rate was outside of a certain range.  …

I plan to use a similar steampunk-type aesthetic in my final project. The water wheel will be two steel gears and the building and side panels of the base will be sheet steel. The frame for the base will be made of 1/2″ square tubing. Welding will be the primary process of assembly, but it…
