Project: Parabolic Solar Furnace, Private Sponsor: Dave Wills, Owner of Freshops
Type: Design & Fabrication
Time Period: Summer 2011 Duration: 3 months
Objective: Convert a large derelict satellite dish into a device which tracks the sun continuously while reflecting sunlight towards a focal point collector for the purpose of creating steam, fermentation science, and culinary arts.
Approach: The satellite was acquired and the existing structure was modeled in CAD to obtain important construction dimensions and motion studies. An aluminum arm was added to raise and lower the focal point collector by human strength. The existing tilt actuator was kept, but a panning base frame of steel was added which rotates a steel shaft supported by a thruster bearing and two radial pillow block bearings, rotated by an electric motor driving a orbiting chain and sprocket. The reflective surface is made from hand polished aluminum sheets.
Results: It has been tested to burn wood and boil water. The thruster bearing is too small and needs to be reinforced, and the original tilt actuator replaced. Next, the solar panel and sun tracking sensors will be installed.

Project: Rolling Frame and Launcher, Oregon State University Underwater Robotics Team
Type: Design & Fabrication
Time Period: Fall 2011 – Winter 2012 Duration: 6 months
Objective: Build a rolling frame and launcher to transport a 200 pound robot and supporting power and tether systems, and be able to launch the robot over the side of a boat.
Approach: The design uses a wood 2x4 main frame to reduce weight and cost. The wood is joined with aluminum brackets using bolts. The launcher system is a welded aluminum boom arm supported by a steel tension cable, and swivels about a welded steel base. The swivel motion is about a steel shaft supported by a vertical thrust bearing

above two radial pillow block bearings bellow the thrust bearing. A manual push bar is included, made from steel pipe and fittings. 4” caster wheels were used.
Results: The rolling frame serves well as a transportation device, allowing the robot to be pushed up ramps and pushed several blocks up hill. The 2x4 main frame is durable when rolled over large bumps and cracks. The frame has held up for over two years of heavy use. After the initial construction, the launcher was found to require additional reinforcement in the form of a steel compression support below the boom, shown in the rendering below, as well as steel tubing bolted to the vertical launcher post and a larger thrust bearing supporting the rotation shaft.
