With a B.S. in Industrial Technology, concentrated in Green Manufacturing, I have found the perfect crossroad of product ideation (human centered design), manufacturing techniques and production standards.

I help create custom installations with design input and CAD modeling. These CAD models can be used for CNC programming, 3D print prototyping, or as production drawings and instructions.

A study in Renewable Energy

I-RO 8 is a vertical axis wind turbine that utilizes both natural wind and also airwave disturbances caused by the momentum of high speed transportation. Its placement along freeway medians and railways can power lighting systems or contribute to the energy grid.

Sustainable Roads

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred or changed from one form to another.

Energy sources such as gas and electricity are converted into kinetic energy in the form of high speed transportaion. This kinetic energy is lost to surface friction and air wave disturbances. It should be captured.

Implementation

Strategic placement of I-RO 8’s along highspeed freeways, within tunnels, or along railways can produce aproximately 1.5 kilowatts/hour.

Prototype

• CNC milled bearing mounts

• Threaded housing shafts

• Welded stainless steel base

• Aluminum curved turbine blades

Design for Additive Manufacturing

Inspired by the utility of a Swiss Army knife, the Aca Pen is a compact multi-tool for school related tasks. Hidden within its shell are writing utenstils, USB flash drives, and even a fastening device. Each part is designed for production through 3D print.

Steel Framed Glass Wall

Custom build for a converted home office. Designed for on site assembly. A combination of steel flat, T and L bars are welded together to create vertical panels.
