QUICK CUP

Quick Cup is a faucet-mounted coffee

brewing machine that holds a single-serve

coffee cup. By turning on your hot water,

Quick Cup raises the current hot water

temperature to the ideal brewing

temperature before pouring the perfect cup

of coffee right from your faucet.

This invention has been recognized by both

As Seen on TV and CNBC’s Make Me a

Millionaire Inventor.

Quick Cup was designed in Solidworks and rendered in PhotoView 360.

BUTTON HOOK BRACELET

The Button Hook Bracelet is a product I created from the

frustration each day when buttoning the cuffs of my shirts.

This invention is a bracelet that allows you to easily button

your cuff on those mornings that you just can’t seem to

button it. Adding a length of leather cord gives a classy look

to the bracelet.

In the beginning, it was difficult to understand the best

design of a hook to not only slide easily through the slit in a

shirt cuff, but one to also grab and hold on to the button,

and easily pull back through the slit.

After drawing many different hook concepts, a simplistic

rectangular shape with corner fillets allowed an easy

means to accomplish the task.


This design was created in Solidworks and rendered in PhotoView 360.


After many prototypes and

valuable customer feedback, the

Button Hook Bracelet was created

and sold through Shapeways in

stainless steel and many other

metals. See link below for product

TABLETOP CRACKER MILL

The Tabletop Cracker Mill was produced to solve the issue of having your

hands covered in cracker crumbs after crushing them into your soup. By using

the concept of pepper grinders, this simple solution is a great additive to any

home or restaurant looking to create a better experience for the user.

The product needed to hold a small pack of Ritz crackers in which all have

generally equivalent dimensions. Once these criteria were understood, I drew

many different designs and chose a few to pursue further before modelling a

final design.

This product was designed in Solidworks and

rendered in PhotoView 360.

I took the six most aesthetically pleasing designs and made quick models of

them by shaping high-density polyester foam blocks. These models then

allowed me to both see a physical shape of the product and feel how well they

fit within my hands for functionality. This led me to the realization that keeping it

simple with a cylindrical shape was the most functional and aesthetically

pleasing design to move forward with modelling.


TABLETOP CRACKER MILL

This full scale and functional

prototype shows the viability of

the Tabletop Cracker Mill.

Another iteration of this product

needs to be made to create a

better experience for the user

before making a small scale

manufacturing run to test its

market value and further work

out any issues with the product.

This product was 3D printed with a Makerbot Replicator and Stratasys Objet 30.


180 CHAIR

I feel that a chair design should be a staple

piece for every product designer. Chairs, a

widely used object within the world and often

going unnoticed, can be quite simple or very

complex, depending on many factors. Chairs

provide a great opportunity for a designer to

express their style and perspective on design.


This chair was designed in Solidworks and rendered in PhotoView 360.

I wanted to create a very simple, yet elegant

chair with no moving parts, but served

multiple functions. 180 Chair was created to

serve as both a chair to sit with good form in

to work from, as well as to lay back and relax

in after that work is completed. To make it

serve a different function, the user cans

simply flip the chair 180 degrees.

180 CHAIR

The first prototype was made from

cheap plywood on a Shop Sabre

CNC machine with the initial thought

that I wanted this chair to lay flat

when packed. I soon realized that

making the chair out of pipe would

be more elegant than wood.

The second prototype of the chair

was made from conduit piping, metal

mesh and 3D printed joints made on

a Stratasys Objet 30. This prototype

brings the newly generated CAD

render to life in the cheapest means

possible. The lines are much better

than the wooden version of this chair

and the piping provides more stability

for each of its designated purposes.

Currently, local metal fabricators are

being contacted to build a final

version of the 180 Chair. The final

version will be one solid piece of

welded aluminum piping and mesh.

PROP ALIGNMENT TOOL

Some light aircraft propellers are able to be

adjusted to change the pitch of each blade

of the propeller individually from the

ground. A Variable Pitch Propeller performs

this function to prevent stalling of the

aircraft, as they move at varying speeds.

Propeller alignment tools are used to adjust

each blade of a propeller to the same pitch.

Current propeller alignment tools use a

protractor and a bubble level to adjust each

blade to a specific pitch. The error associated

with the small marks on the protractor, the

inconsistency of the bubble level and the error

associated with the human eye combined can

leave the individual blades over one degree

off, which can affect the performance of the

machine.


This product was designed in Solidworks and rendered in PhotoView 360.

This tool is spring loaded to lightly clamp

to each blade as well as a smartphone to

align each blade of the propeller. A

smartphone app can then be used to bring

each blade of the propeller within 100th of

a degree away from each other, which is a

major increase in precision over

competitors.

This product is 3D printed using a

Makerbot Replicator and is currently on a

small scale manufacturing run for local

pilots.

LAND DRONE 4

Land Drone 4 is a part of the University of

Maine Mechanical Engineering capstone. Along

with two other team members, Land Drone 4

was created to assist the United States Border

Patrol on missions deemed high risk for a team

to enter an area. Land Drone 4 is GPS and

chainsaw driven to locate a target and take

video and audio surveillance before reporting

back to home base.

For the project, I contributed the body and drive

train design, as well as all of the electronics and

coding.

The finished machine was able to complete

some of the tasks it was built for, but due to time

constraints, our team wasn't able to fully

complete the project. Land Drone 4 was one of

the first generation robots built for the Border

Patrol challenge, which is now growing towards

a national capstone challenge for other leading

engineering schools.
