Laparoscopic trainer

The royal college of surgeons in Dublin want to start creating more of their simulation equipment in house. I was then tasked with working with their technicians to determine a design that they could work with and producing a 3D renders of the final product.

3D printable VTOL UAV

This project uses a novel system to tilt motors into place and control a VTOL aircraft all while ensuring the streamlined design. The rods hidden in the wing nacelle allow the thick servo's to be nestled in the wing yet still allow the aircraft to…

Project Barge: floating visitors centre

This project was created for a college assignment in which one must design an environmentally conscious visitors centre in the amazon rainforest. A presentation accompanied by a 3D printed mock-up was used to present our solution to the brief. Download brief here

Chasing Sunset rocket [WIP]

This project builds upon the Red Hill thrust vectoring design incorporating a much more robust manner of displacing the thrust plate. Three servo's work in conjunction to move the thrust plate into position. This design can also handle much stronger forces from the motors as…

Red Hill rocket

The red hill rocket employs a novel thrust vectoring system wherein the rocket can tilt a cluster of motors attached the a thrust plate using only 3 motors. The inverse kinematics of this first system was very simple as the plate was simply attached to…

Custom home server

To host this portfolio website, store my files, host product licenses for eirspace, run a VPN and various game servers I needed a simple server. I ended up reusing computer parts I had laying around and incredibly cheap decommissioned server drives to get it up…

DIY Jet engine [WIP]

Building a jet engine that can sustain combustion has been a dream of mine for a long time and these are the first steps. The above render is the first mock-up and has many issues. Firstly the volume of air should diminish as it traverses…
