This document contains a summary of engineering projects from the University of Colorado and Kärcher North America. It includes projects such as an organic Rankine cycle turbine and housing, a drill torque differentiator, various electrical test fixtures, an electronic fuel control enclosure, a bag dispenser, actuator controls, a machine test fixture cart, a material delivery system, zip-tie dispensers, assembly holders, 3D printed non-circular gears, a 3D printed band brake system, a safety fence, and a traveling air tool holding rack.
This document provides details about the design and construction of a remote controlled motorized hydraulic jack. The summary is:
The remote controlled motorized hydraulic jack uses a 12V DC motor connected via a crankshaft to the hydraulic jack. The motor is powered by a 12V power supply and controlled remotely using a transmitter and receiver. The power supply steps down household AC voltage to 12V DC using a transformer, rectifier, and voltage regulators. The remote control allows single-person operation of the jack to lift vehicle tires without manual labor.
The document describes a small diesel engine jaw crusher. It has three tires on the bottom for easy mobility and does not need to be installed in the ground. It can be used for medium or fine crushing of rocks and stones, and is popular for gold mining. It has adjustable discharge size, low noise and dust, simple structure, and reliable lubrication system. Power is provided by a diesel engine through a belt drive system to crush materials in a jaw crushing mechanism.
Altra Industrial Motion provides drivetrain products for metal shredders including couplings, gears, clutches, and brakes. They have extensive experience in metal shredder applications and work with OEMs to optimize performance. Several application profiles are described, including using shear pins in universal joints to prevent damage during rotor jams in auto shredders, providing a complete drivetrain solution for a car shredder including U-joints and sheaves, and installing a braking system to securely lock shredding rotors. Redesigning a v-belt drive using premium belts reduced costs for a customer.

LOCOMOTIVE WHEEL ASSEMBLY DESIGN OPTIMIZATION USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSISIjripublishers Ijri
Underground mining is the regular happening work around the world, mainly in India for coal, iron ore, gypsum
etc…………..
Transportation of the material is the major criteria for underground mining most commonly locomotive trolleys, belt
conveyors (or) screw type conveyors are used to carry the material from underground to surface.
Locomotive trolleys are the most efficient transportation system for underground system even for human transportation
also it can be used.
Now all the mining companies are using belt type (or) screw type conveyors because of regular maintenance (or) replacement
of locomotive trolleys, but screw conveyors and belt type conveyors are making heavily wastage falling from belt
conveyors and crushed wastage from screw conveyor.
This project deals with design optimization for improving the life of locomotive trolley.
3D models will be prepared according to company standards.
FEM based analysis will be conducted on assembly to find the location of maximum stress.
Static and model analysis will be carried out by applying suitable materials and modifying part by observing the above
analysis.

Mohamed Saeed completed a fluid power course project to design and build a pneumatic can crusher. He supervised a team that distributed tasks of component selection, material selection, welding, and assembly. Calculations were performed to determine that a minimum pressure of 2MPa was required to crush two cans simultaneously. The built can crusher used aluminum for the crushing chamber and steel for other parts. Testing showed it could crush two cans powered by one compressor but only one can powered by another, lower pressure compressor. Recommendations to improve the design included adjusting the cylinder orientation and adding safety features.

This economical and space saving zip-tie holder allows for a two-bin system for lean manufacturing to be employed. It
will soon be a worldwide company standardized fixture. This replaces a simple bin wherein the zip-ties do not fix
properly, fall out and hang into aisles and walkways. Designed and built entirely by myself, It allows the empty, (lower)
tube to be removed and the top tube drops down and rolls forward minimizing assembler time and effort and
maximizing time value added.

This safety inspired fixture looks over-engineered, although it is designed to hold various different water boxes,
(cream-colored tank) so the assembler can attach fittings and accessories to each one. Because of different sizes of
water boxes, the, “arm” that holds the box moves up and down. A spring is employed for safety, that when the pin is
pulled to move the height, the arm will not fall and cause injuries due to pinch points. The peculiar gray cube is an
accessory for one certain water box to be used in this fixture.
