I’m happy to say that I have found a calling in Mechanical Engineering. I will share a video of a project I recently completed. The goal was to flip a soda can over completely (and some other constraints). I am proud to say that my project ended up tying for fastest flip, down to the 0.01 second. I am also proud that I took a purely mechanical approach and stayed away from servos (not that I couldn’t do them, I just wanted it to be this way). I took a lot of time in the beginning just thinking about how I was going to accomplish the task and even more time designing the thing in SolidWorks. I really do love using that program especially because I am very fond of geometry. Please enjoy the video of one of my most proud creations.
It shows my ability to use SolidWorks, 3D Printing and laser cutting tech. I also used calculus to obtain the proper curve for the guiding brace. #proudOfMyself
