Jet Engine Nozzle (APOP competion)

What do you get when you task a team of 10 engineering students to design and build an actuating jet engine nozzle from scratch? (Hint its this!)

On the left is a picture of our nozzle being tested on a compressed air system that simulated the mass flow that our nozzle would later encounter on the real jet engine!

CNC Ring

I took the lead manufacturing the ring mechanism using a 4-axis CNC mill. This is a picture of the ring on the stock before we cut it off using a lathe

Nozzle Assembly

Here is the completed metal ring on the nozzle

BYU Aeronuatics Club RC Plane

I was part of a team of 3 engineering students that designed and built an RC plane capable of dropping a toy football. It was incredibly challenging, but super fun! (I'm the one in the center holding the blue-winged plane).

Completed Airplane

Wing Mounting Bracket

I designed this bracket in SolidWorks then 3d-printed it using standard PLA

Taking to the Skies!

CAD Examples

How good am I at CAD...well see for yourself!

Geared Engine

I designed this entire geared jet engine nozzle in SolidWorks for the APOP competition as an idea during the brainstorming phase of design

Custom Gear

Using On Shape, I designed an entire custom gear for a "doggy ball thrower"

PipSqueak Engine

Part of a team of 4 engineering students, I helped to manufacture a Pip-Squeak engine (runs on compressed air).

Robots!

In addition to all these other fun projects, I've helped to design and build some great robots!

Mini Mars Rover Competition

I helped design and build this robot with in a team of 4 engineering students. I specifically was in charge of programming the robot to turn and push a button when it detected an electromagnetic signal!

Light Following Robot

My first robot I ever made. I designed and built this robot on my own. It was designed to follow the light from a flashlight!
