for Aerostats
The goal of this project is to design a low-cost, high specific impulse, MPD thruster to attach to an aerostat such as a high altitude balloon.

Since January of 2022, we've been designing a payload to deflect high-energy protons away from our satellite using strong permanent magnets that we're calling Cosmic Radiation Shielding.

Starting out as a joke between my brother and I, it became his birthday present two years later. This is a fully-functional Nintendo64 console crammed into a toaster with a working lever and carriage, just like a real toaster. The games go into the bread slot and when the lever is pushed down, the system turns on. When you want to stop playing, just press the button on the top of toaster and the games pop out. This was one of the hardest projects I've done.

Voice Assistant
Voice Assistant
My Voice Assistant, CAL, is my version of Apple's Siri or Windows' Cortana. It's primary purpose is to help open and close applications, navigate my tabs, do simple math, and surf the internet, all through the sound of my voice.

The A.R.M. or Articulated Robotic Manipulator, is one of my most ambitious projects yet, and is a collaborative effort with two of my college friends, Dakota Kosiorek and Robert Tetreault. The primary goal of this project is to make a robotic arm and hand that is capable of moving in 3D space and controlled via computer vision, with an end goal of autonomously preparing food.

Water Shield
Water Shield
The Water Shield is a lightweight, deployable shield capable of blocking streams of water from water blasters. I designed and prototyped this shield amidst the heat of battle during my school's version of Senior Assassins. Using a form of compression/torsion springs, I was able to manufacture a shield that could go from a 2.25 square foot area to a 18 square foot area in under a second.

Better Super Soaker
Better Super Soaker
The Better Super Soaker is a powerful, heavy duty, modified Super Soaker fitted with an programmable, electric-pneumatic pump and powered by a car battery to spray a constant 36ft horizontal at 30PSI.

Started in the Spring of the 2020 pandemic, Harold the Crab is a fully 3D-printed, robotic, walking crab that emulates an arthropod's gait. He is able to scuttle on various surfaces and can be remotely controlled and programmed via a custom graphical user interface over local networks. Harold can also be controlled through my voice and hopefully will be integrated with my voice assistant.

Peacekeeper Glove
Peacekeeper Glove
The Peacekeeper Glove is a prototype prop of the glove from the animated television show The Legend of Korra. The glove consists of an accelerometer, microcontroller, step-up transformer, and various other components to create a high voltage arc between the first two knuckles when a punch is detected using a custom designed PCB.

Blitz's Shield
Blitz's Shield
Based on the equipment from the video game, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, my prototype prop of Blitz's shield is meant for temporarily blinding anyone facing the 6 arrays of bright white flashing LEDs. The shield is powered by a 18V drill battery and operated by the wielder via a momentary push switch.

Nerf Blitz's Shield
Nerf Blitz's Shield
Made prior to my prop of Blitz's shield, my Nerf Blitz's shield is a modified Nerf gun attachment, equipped with flashing 10x3 and 5x4 white LED arrays, a 650nm red laser diode, and a piezo speaker. Controlled entirely via a smartphone or by the wielder with 5 capacitive touch sensors mounted onto the shield.

Electric Hand Warmer
Electric Hand Warmer
The Electric Hand Warmer is one of the simplest, yet most useful projects on this list. Living in the Northeast, cold weather is a part of our lives, but this doesn't mean we can't be prepared. Utilizing a phenomenon discovered in 1834, a Peltier Module is capable of both heating and cooling. When a current is passed through the device, one side of the module gets hot while the other gets cold. This makes a very simple, yet effective, hand warmer that can be powered with just a 9V battery.

Electric Go-kart
Electric Go-kart
The Electric Go-kart is a project I started in my high school's robotics club and is capable of reaching a top speed of 13mph while carrying a 150lb person. Without a passenger, it can go as fast as 20mph and be remotely controlled over local networks. This has become an on-going project at my high school and is remade every year as an introduction to mechanical and electrical design.

DIY Smartwatch
The DIY Smartwatch is one my largest unfinished projects, but is capable of showing the time using only an Arduino and 1" SPI TFT display. It was the project that got me into Arduino microcontrollers, C# programming, and simple electronics and PCB design.

Straw Fans
Straw Fans
Made from recycled RC helicopters and plastic straws, my Straw Fans were my first project and business venture. A Straw Fan is perfect for a hot summer's day and its lithium-ion battery would last a full day before needing to be plugged into a USB outlet to recharge.
