Projects
- WAVE: SECURE MODULAR BICYCLE PARKINGWAVE is a secure modular bicycle parking product to protect from vandalism, the elements, theft of parts and theft of the bicycle. The user is able to use their own D-Lock/Padlock. It is constructed from a glass fibre and steel composite which is fire retardant and physical attack proof, an improvement on current bicycle parking methods which do not take into account the theft of parts and vandalism.
- REHALE: REUSABLE ASTHMA INHALERThe inhaler is a reuseable asthma inhaler made from durable materials in order to make its lifespan around 5 years. It is designed to be used by the same user, with the intention that when they require a ‘refill’ they go to their local pharmacy as normal, and the staff in the pharmacy refill the inhaler using a specially adapted divers bottle and filling valve. A metered filling valve is attached to the divers bottle, which is used to charge the inhaler evenly with propellant gas and medicine.
- FREECHARGE KINETIC ENERGY CHARGERFREEcharge is a kinetic energy charger designed to power products such as mobile phones and digital cameras. It is aimed at people such as hikers, campers and festival goers. It uses a powerful sliding magnet and 2500 turn copper coil in a solenoid arrangement to generate electricity. For this project I created a model from a z-corp rapid prototype machine.
