need ideas for a project work!

build a working hand Phaser? its hard to suggest a project when we don't know your interests or what resources you have available.

Hi, Sorry for not pointing out my interests .... well i have done some work on Power line carrier communication .. the ones which we use in home automation ( X10). and then i also like designing machines.... electromagnetism also intersts me... Resources are not much of a problem. I was looking for an idea basically which tested my computational skills .. as well as my knowledge of machines ... and which was kind of new. And before I forget ... thanks Tim for pointing out my mistake ...

robots and robotics. build a programmable robot that can accomplish a chosen task.... like bringing the prof a cup of coffee or tea.

that sounds cool ... but any leads as to how i start ? building a robotic arm ....

Maybe watch reruns of the six million dollor man? (joking)

The project should show that you understand the theoratical parts of engineering enough to apply them to a practical device.

If you have access to motors, wheels, berrings, shafts, batteries, limit switches, pic processors, and other odds and ends of electromechanical items you should be good to go.

Just scale the project to you resourses. If they are small build a small robot. A buddy of mine builds robot submarines which combine his hobbies of scuba diving and ham radio.

How about a motorized berifcase that follows the prof down the hall and around corners?

What has always fascinated me in all practicality was a version of a Motorized Shopping Cart one could operate to the supermarket to bring ones Groceries home from walking distances, not too big, could be wired or remote controlled & small enough to lift up & carry if you have to. =AE

great ideas people... And yeah .. the HOD tripping over and getting run over was cute ... but i guess thats a far fetched idea ... nothing can stop that guy from taking our classes .. ( and making our lives more miserable! )

thanx

Build something that will help disabled people. For example, a window opener/closer for double-hung windows that is easy to install, affordable, reliable and attractive. You could make it programmable to open/close the window under certain conditions of temperature, humidity, wind, rain etc.

Or find some other idea for a machine that could help people wit certain handicaps, like Roy's idea of the shopping cart.

I want a TV remote that has the ability to store 100 favorite channels and a wife that does not bitch all the time!

Yeah .. the shopping cart idea hit me too ... and i believe its a nice one and can be done ... started planning on it already .... hats off to ROY for the idea .... And I would like to sincerely appologise to JIM .. though i believe if I ever make something like that ... and make the wife a lil more behaved ... I dont see how i wont GET the NOBEL prize .. but JIM ... thts not my area of expertise ... but i do hope by the time i get married some one would have got it done .. amen !

Thanx again ppl.

There are learning remotes with LCD sdreens that probably have that many channels if you want to spend over $100 for a new remote.

You need a "Mute" button that really works! ;-)
