(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The product design process can be described as a number of steps taken to turn an idea into a reality. One particular design process of creating a microfluidics device was studied and analyzed. A device containing channels ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Rapid prototyping tools empower individuals to create almost anything. Unfortunately, these tools are still far too expensive for personal ownership. The do-it-yourself community has responded with a slew of home-made rapid ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The biggest problem the world faces today is finding a renewable energy source as fossil fuel reserves being depleted, and the ongoing burning of fossil fuels is destroying environments all over the world. Solar energy is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)When liquids are transported from storage tanks to tank cars, improper order of valve openings can cause pressure surges in the transfer line. To model this phenomenon and predict the peak pressures in such a transfer line, ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The design for a human powered battery charger was analyzed and a redesign was proposed. The original product was designed in the MIT ME course 2.009 to power a LED projector that will be used to teach literacy classes in ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)In this thesis, I investigate possible improvements to the design of a wheelchair for manufacture in a developing nation, specifically one designed for use by persons with hemiplegia. Ralf Hotchkiss's "Whirlwind" Wheelchair ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In 2004, The National Academy of Engineers (NAE) released a report calling for changes to be made to the current engineering education system in response to the growing need for engineering graduates who would be able to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)This work develops a method for capturing some of the kinetic energy ordinarily lost during braking on bicycles to power LED safety flashers. The system is designed to eliminate: (a) battery changing in popular LED flashers, ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Automated pipe turners used in glassblowing studios are limited in their application by the duration a blown glass piece can be left unattended. An autonomous monitoring system can increase the usefulness of pipe turners ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Unmanned vehicles may provide more time- and cost-effective methods of gathering hydrographic survey data when compared to traditional, manned survey vessels. A remote-controlled unmanned surface vehicle (USV) was outfitted ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)This thesis presents a case for a paradigm shift in the way mobility technology is approached in the United States. Spawning from the research of developing world wheelchair technology, a conceptual design for a capable ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Wearable technology is an emerging multidisciplinary field. When designing wearables, one must draw upon an understanding of: the available soft materials; the motion of the body; as well as comfort, fashion, and social ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A research project was designed in order to learn more about the quality of recycled plastics when compared to new material. The study was carried out by researching and learning about how the recycling process operates. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The process of solar thermoelectric energy conversion was explored through a review of thermoelectric energy generation and solar collectors. Existing forms of flat plate collectors and solar concentrators were surveyed. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Over the past decades, the performance of the below-knee prosthesis has been significantly improved. However, below-knee amputees still experience many problems during locomotion. For example, they normally exhibit ...
