Miscellaneous Engineering Projects
Inertial navigation was an important part of the pipe-crawling robot project. While experimenting with some tiny accelerometers, a nice little demonstration toy was created. Read about the LED tilt sensor here.
Carbon dioxide bombs are one of the staples of youth pyrotechnics. But suppose the gas was released in a more controlled fashion? Sort of like ... a rocket?
The nine-year undergraduate saga of my friend Mark Miller was about to come to an end - an opportunity for two electrical engineers to wow the graduation crowd with a light show mortarboard.
A novel sort of fireworks display can be created to make use of underwater detonation. Of course, Jay Wilson and I have conducted some research - duplicate it at your own peril!
