Some Ideas and Work
A hammock stand to mount to the front of my truck. This was the initial design, however due to constraints in tooling, the receiver was fabricated using only 2 sections of 2.5 inch square tube. The posts were made using 2x2x1/4 inch tubing, which is definitely too much material for the purposes. The original back support was 1/8 inch flat bar, but bent under load, so it was stitch welded to a 1/4 inch flat bar. The hooks for the hammock were formed using round bar, and weldedto the corner of the posts, allowing for a hammock to be attached without the use of a clasp.
An amplifier chassis to house a kit speaker amplifier. The part would be bent from a single piece of laser cut aluminum, with a cover made of some wood. The wood cover is transparent, and the design uses Neutrik connectors for RCA, speaker and power input.
Idea for a standing desk, using a scissor lift mechanism. I had been looking at scissor lifts, and thought how I could apply that idea to legs for a standing desk.
A report for a phone speaker passive amplifier. The assignment was to design a 3D printed passive amplifier for a cell phone using approximately 50g of material.
A physics project from pierce college to design a DC motor. This one ran for about 10 minutes, using a 9v battery, 2 paper clips, and 1 meter of magnet wire. The magnet wire was wound around a form to create an even loop, with the ends of the wire extending at the poles to form an armature. One leg was sanded back to bare wire for the entire length, with the other leg only being sanded on about half of the circumference. This was done at 90 degrees to the loop of wire in order to create the proper magnetic field when spinning.
I am currently working on a website to house all of my recipes. I found a decent template for a Hugo site, and have added in most of the recipes that I’ve use into it. Find it at recipes.bentschida.com
