01

I wanted something on my desk worth looking at all day that also told me the time.

01

Chronos - desktop water tunnel

2026 / hardware / fluids / flow-visualisation / embedded
02

Non-jamming centrifugal engine starter start here

The jam happened at the moment of engagement, so I removed the engagement.

2022-2025 / hardware / mechanism / design-iteration
03

Rear wheel adapter

Asked everyone what annoyed them about the old one, then reproduced every complaint myself before believing it.

2021-2022 / hardware / fea / design-for-service
04

Composite competition car body

Most of the drag was frontal area, and the only thing stopping me cutting it was the driver's eyeline.

2022-2025 / cfd / aerodynamics / composites
05

Steel frame fitted at competition, in under four hours

The shell was sagging at competition. Stiffening it was not going to happen that weekend, so I carried the load somewhere else.

2022 / hardware / structures / field-repair
06

First-responder delivery drone

Type an address into a browser; the aircraft flies there.

2021 / software / autonomy / uav
07

Telescoping-wing VTOL UAV

Reasoned from the lift equation: if you cannot change density or angle of attack, change the wing.

2019-2020 / hardware / cfd / uav / design-iteration
