Understanding how temperature differences affect energy conversion is important for evaluating heat engine performance. This project addresses that question by studying a Stirling engine, which converts thermal energy into mechanical motion through cyclic expansion and contraction of a gas. The system is tested under varying temperature conditions to observe changes in performance. The goal is…

Automating object handling tasks requires systems that can operate reliably using different power sources. This project addresses that challenge by developing a robotic arm powered by compressed air. The system uses pneumatic pistons to control movement and a suction-based vacuum mechanism to pick up and place objects. The goal is to demonstrate how pneumatic actuation…

Producing tritium for nuclear fusion requires materials that can perform reliably under controlled conditions. This project addresses that challenge by developing lithium-based ceramic materials with engineered porous structures. The design focuses on controlling pore size and distribution to improve material performance in fusion environments. The goal is to support more efficient tritium production and contribute…

Handling air-sensitive materials for electron microscopy can be difficult because exposure to air may alter or damage samples. This project addresses that challenge by developing a sealed transfer method that protects materials during handling and movement. The system maintains a controlled environment to preserve sample integrity before imaging. The goal is to enable more accurate…

Heating materials to extremely high temperatures using conventional methods can be time-consuming and energy-intensive. This project addresses that challenge by developing an electrically powered system capable of rapidly heating materials to temperatures up to 3000°C. The design controls power input, gas environment and chamber conditions to achieve consistent results. The goal is to enable faster…

Underwater exploration requires flexible systems that can move efficiently while collecting environmental data. This project addresses that challenge by developing a submersible exploration device designed for multidirectional movement using propeller-based propulsion. The system integrates sensors to measure speed, water temperature, depth and distance to obstacles, supporting safe operation. A compact design houses all subsystems and…

Underwater exploration requires systems that can operate reliably under pressure while collecting accurate data. This project addresses that challenge by developing the Rugged Submersible Surveyor, an aquatic probe designed for safe and controlled underwater operation. The system includes a sealed chassis to protect internal components and integrates sensors for distance, temperature and pressure. Thrusters support…

Exploring remote or hazardous environments requires systems that can collect and transmit data reliably. This project addresses that challenge by developing Project X, an investigative rover designed for autonomous and remote operation in a simulated planetary setting. The system gathers environmental, imaging and navigation data while streaming telemetry in real time. Its modular architecture supports…

Accurate celestial observation can be difficult with compact and accessible equipment. This project addresses that challenge by developing EV-Scope, a Wi-Fi enabled automated telescope designed for precise tracking and imaging of distant objects. The system integrates wireless control, a user interface and automated positioning hardware within a compact design. It supports reliable tracking while remaining…
