Thesis:
Pushing the bounds of energy harvesting
My MEng Project investigated bounds on energy harvesting devices, aiming to show that a rotational component could help improve performance. This involved verifying a numerical model against a practical piezoelectric rig.
Report:
Modelling XC Suspension
A Third Year 'Bicycle Design' project aiming to practically determine and model the parameters of mountain bike suspension on terrain of varying roughness and technicality.
