Autonomous Window Cleaning Robot
For my 3rd year project, I was tasked with designing a robot, but given freedom as to the purpose of the robot. After seeing an increasing amount of glass-clad skyscrapers under construction, I decided to investigate whether it would be possible to design a robot to autonomous robot to clean to improve safety and maximise …
Kawasaki ER-6f
After 5 years on smaller motorcycles, I finally purchased my first ‘Big Bike’! It needed a little work to get it road worthy but as with all my projects, I am keen to fix it! Currently I’m mid-way through the repairs but I’ve finished the major jobs and given it a service. I have also …
3D Printed Bike Lights
I designed and manufactured a custom lighting solution for my bicycle. Here I could’ve bought off the shelf lights for relatively little money, but the more affordable ones all use disposible AA or AAA batteries which are wasteful and expensive. I already had a waterproof USB power bank with a suitably bright light on it …
Heating Management System
My parents have been renovating a large farm since 2014, and throughout the project we have had many discussions about wanting the house to be cutting edge and modern whilst keeping the costs to a minimum. This is where this project comes in, as many heating control units are very expensive and we have a …
Hybrid Quadcopter Test Rig
In the summer of 2021, between my second and third years of study, I completed an internship working on a multirotor petrol-electric powetrain test rig within the Insitiute of Thermofluids as The University of Leeds. The aim of the project was to return the test rig to an operational state as it had been left …
Motorcycle Shock Absorber Modification
The rear shock absorber on my Derbi Mulhacen 125 needed replacing as the damper was ruined. Unfortunately, it was impossible to get a used, OEM, or even aftermarket shock absorber without importing one from Italy which would’ve cost hundreds of pounds. As a result, I decided to select a readily available shock absorber from a …
Physim
One of the four courses I took for my A-Levels was Computer Science. The assessment in this course consisted of a written exam, a digital exam and an individual non-exam assessment. Physim, a multipurpose rigidbody simulation software, was what I produced for my non-exam assessment, in which I achieved 100%. I developed this software using the 3D graphics engine …
Sheet Metal Brake
I have always found working with sheet metal very interesting, however it’s very difficult to work with sheet metal and produce the desired result when working with limited tooling. This is why I decided to create a sheet metal brake, allowing me to bend up to 2mm thick aluminium or 1mm thick steel into boxes …
