Projects

Below are some of the projects I have done for school along with a few of my individual pursuits.

 

Heat transfer analysis of heat sink This PowerPoint presentation comes from a project that I did for my heat transfer course at BYU. I compared the results for analyizing a computer heat sink obtained via ANSYS and also via hand calculations.
Air Powered engine This video shows an air powered engine that I built for my manufacturing class at BYU. I machined most of the parts myself in the metal shop.
CAD Model of a Computer Fan This picture illistrates a CAD model of a computer fan that I did for my engineering graphics course at BYU. This was the first part that I modeled for the course, using Pro Engineer, CATIA, and NX. This picture comes from my NX model of the part.
ScanMySlides I built this business from the ground up. You can read more about it on my resume or on the site itself.
Maxwell Institute For a job that I had on campus at BYU, I built this site by myself over the course of 10 months, completely reingeneering how people access the journals that the Maxwell Institute publishes. You can see some of the things that I made by going directly to the site.
Parametric CAD model of a Food Chopper This picture shows a parametric CAD model of a food chopper that I made for my engineering graphics course at BYU. For this model I used NX 5. I was able to create the model so that I could easily update the rest of the chopper according the one dimension that I changed. As you can tell from the photo, I chose to have the handle remain the same size and varied the size of container holding the food since the size of things being chopped could vary greatly, from cashews to cantaloupe, but the size of a human hand is more constant.
