Hydro board was a research project on personal water craft. It began with the problem of gas powered motors and the negative effects it has caused to our environment and the ecosystem.

The solution: To design an electric driven water board that evoked the feeling of surfing and wakeboarding, but provided the combined mobility of jet-skiing.

Final form inspired by the manta-ray & Form Development

A foam insert acts as a main sealant case between the drive system and water

Two water proof electric motors provide drive to the propulsion system using two individual carbon fiber composite belts. This allows for a more basic system without the need for complex pulleys.

Hydro Propulsion Development

First Developed system based off of original Archimedes Principal

Although Channeled and contained within a closed system, it lacked pressurization for increased water pressure

Re-amped Structure encloses the turbine as a housing shell. The internal vessel is locked into place with ceramic ball bearings.

Low pitch and geometry curve cause problematic water resistance

High pitch and geometry curve funnel inward and outward generating less water resistance

How It WorksBelt Driven Hydro Propulsion System

Narrow contoured paths guide the flow of water into the spinning hydro turbine pump

As the board thrusts forward the water is forced into the channels pulling the tale-end of the board under the water. As a result, the front end of the board is lifted up causing air pockets to form under the stabilizing wings. This results in hydro-planing lowering surface drag.

SKETCHES AND IDEATIONS

Exploring radial cutting systems and how they might articulate

Thinking blades... interlocking replacible blade system

Chainsaw like system

Floating blade system spins inside trimmimg with worm-gear drive.

Going back to the basics, linier cutting dynamics utilizing existing hardware and off the shelf technology.

Guiding prongs help guide blade into cutt releasing potential strain on wrist

Pruning and hedge trimming tools are limited in cutter size and require pure strength of hand to get the job finished, becoming a major problem to our hands and joints. Continuous applied pressure within the base of the hand causes damage to our median nerve, bruising the transverse carpal ligament, leading to Carpal tunnel, arthritis, and sever pain.

Inflamed median nerve: Caused by squeezing cutter handle

Relaxed nerve: Distribution of applied force with trigger and thumb lock focuses pressure along fingers and thumb.

Cutter angle lies parallel with wrist and forearm focusing applied work on body and shoulder

Cutter angle forces wrist to conform to cutter focusing applied work on wrist

INJECTION MOLDING ANALYSIS

Diagnostics form a mold flow simulator on the first run mock-up helps guide basic understanding of needed geometry

Warp and strengths analysis shows the model needs more support ribs and structure within the inner paneling

Additional draft needs to be added to all internal and external verticies for proper execution in mold release Initial shelling on the mock-up is much to thin.

With additional added support, the shelling needs to be thickened substantially. Minimum thickness for parts endurance .07in
