Design, fabrication, and testing of a custom thermoelectric converter for CU freshamn projects.
Initial CAD modeling focused on a compact design and assembly to optimize heat transfer while in a protoype stage.
I worked as the head of CAD and rapid prototyping, using SolidWorks to generate models and drawings alongside 3D printers to construct prototype housing.
Bench testing using water to confirm voltage outputs and component lifespan. The shown experiments generated enough electricity to charge an iPhone.
Alongside my group of 5, I presented to a panel of judges about our design, development, and final product. We won Best in our Section and second overall at a similar events two weeks prior.
