Engineering project ideas
Hi guys, figured if anyone would have any ideas it would be the people on this forum. I have a design project (its really just a CAD class) coming up and I can't think of anything. I need to come up with a new product or a modification or improvement on a design that already exists, and then model it in CAD/Creo. Basically my requirements are
1. Identify design problems (recognition of a need). 2. Explore alternative solutions (conceptual design). I just really can't even think of a problem that hasn't already been solved. Anyone here have anything that bugs them and wish it was designed differently? tl;dr pls halp, my only ideas were go fast bits for my car/bike but that isn't complicated enough lol. |

Design a pedal box for dual master cylinders that bolts to the factory studs? Billet or tubular control arms that have a better adjustment design than the current aftermarket standard? (rod ends in bending are bad) Drop spindles that don't cost a fortune. Driver adjustable sway bar. |

EDIT: Definitely doing this. |

This is actually pretty good. Might be kind of difficult for me to model but might actually just do this.

I thought you wanted something complicated. I could probably draft a MCB in a couple of hours. Plus, it's already been done, a lot.
I await your CAD files for printing. |

EDIT: Definitely doing this. I like this product idea, and it will give you a chance to use a lot of the different functions in creo. Make sure you learn/use/teach yourself surfacing- then you can teach me. |

Build a low cost, fixed RPM water brake dyno :
- Design an adapter between a 4x100 bolt pattern and the input of a torque converter. - Convert this torque converter to a water brake unit with a manual inlet adjustable flow valve - Design a support with a torque arm so you could measure the brake torque that is able to withstand jacking a car - Build a 2nd package for a second wheel That would be stage 1, then : - Design a closed loop control with rpm pickup and load control that balances torque between the water brakes and that adjusts load to a fixed rpm - Keep the cost of everything well under the price of a Dynapack (this is the objective where you separate the men from the kids) This is actually on my to-do list as I do not have access to a dyno where I'm living (nearest is a 3,5h drive). You could even separate this project between different classes and finish this as a final project. |
design a new oil pick up tube for your defective EJ257 one

When I took CAD/CAM, I designed and built a set of adjustable rearsets for my brother's bike.
