Penn State Altoona electro-mechanical engineering students Nathan McDermott, David Ogoh, and Jonathan Tedrow present their work on an interactive educational device used to teach new engineering students and the general public about power transmission, mechanics, and engineering principles. It contains an interactive electrified 3-speed automotive transmission and interactive manual 5-speed automotive transmission, as well as informational tools and devices.
Penn State Altoona electro-mechanical engineering students Nick Leberfinger, Ian Majetic, and Kyle Nevard, present on an improved, less expensive version of a gaming table. The table will have a built-in sound system, fog machine, LED lights bordering the play area, and a tabletop garage door mechanism to enclose the play area and be used as a regular dining table.
Penn State Altoona electro-mechanical engineering students Jeremy Scott, Dominic McCaffrey, Aiden Taylor, and Alex Taylor share their work on a 72-volt electric golf cart that the lab staff will use to transport packages and tow a cart around the Penn State Altoona campus.
Penn State Altoona electro-mechanical engineering students Dom Landi and Sam Toso share their work on a project to imprint a paw print on a penny while also being crushed just like the machines located in the museums. The crusher is part of an interactive display in the Engineering Building.
Penn State Altoona electro-mechanical engineering students Griffen Josephs and Austin Rabits present their work on the Split Hopkinson Pressure bar, a machine that measures the stress from the incident and the transmitted bar after a striker hits, then compressing the subject material that is held between them enacting a force. This force is collected on the strain gauges and sent to the oscilloscope via a Wheatstone bridge setup.
Penn State Altoona electro-mechanical engineering technology students Casey Hess, Travis Meckley, and Ivan Underwood share their work on a tennis and pickleball training machine. The machine is an improvement upon traditional ball-launching machines as it offers a hands-free method of switching between sport modes. In addition to a maximum ball speed of above 70 miles per hour, the machine can recreate realistic in-game situations by changing the horizontal and vertical launch angles. Users are given a handful of preset routines to train with, all designed to improve their tennis and pickleball skills.
Penn State Altoona electro-mechanical engineering technology students Joe Dellapenna, Jacob Dick, and Levi Long share their work on a remote trailer jockey. The jockey is a 4X4 electric powerhouse of a machine. It was designed to be able to move trailers without the need for a vehicle or manually moving it. This is all done by wireless control which is very easy to operate.
