The current diesel-powered hydraulic system for installing and removing MQ-9A Reaper payloads is bulky and difficult to maneuver. A new lifting device is proposed, powered by various outlet power sources ranging from 100-240 VAC and 47-63 Hz, which will be used globally. It will lift up to 4,000 lbs using linear actuators and a robust base, providing 12 inches of vertical lift, 6 inches of X-Y movement, and 5 degrees of tilt. User-friendly joystick and button controls will enhance precision. The design prioritizes mobility, easy disassembly for transport, and safe, accurate payload alignment.
This project is developing a drone to video record skydivers autonomously. It drops before the skydivers and then aligns with them after they jump from an aircraft. The drone will acquire the skydiver and then circle nearby to video record the dive. Its purpose is to replace the human videographer who must jump after the recorded skydiver; a drone will be cheaper and safer and will allow another space for a paying passenger on the skydive aircraft. It will be less than 10 lbs., shorter than 20 inches long, simple to operate, and self-landing.
Students used an amateur casing setup to produce 713 aluminum from scrap metal. This was then analyzed to relate the metal to commercially produced material.
A nut from the wheel assembly of a rollercoaster at Kings Dominion was investigated using microscopy and chemical spectroscopy to identify its microstructure and engineering properties, which were then related to its processing.
