Martin Jetpack
This was a project that I worked on before Your Engineer was started, but I've included it here as it influenced the 'attitude' that Your Engineer operates with now. I helped design, build and test some of the early prototypes for what became the Martin Jetpack. ...
CSIRO Impact Test Rig
Your Engineer was successful in winning a competitive Request for Tender issued by the Australian CSIRO to design, manufacture and verify a low speed impact test rig. Your Engineer collaborated with CSIRO staff to develop the concept within tight deadlines. We...
‘Smart Wheels’ Golf Caddy
Your Engineer was engaged by Concourse Golf to convert an idea into reality. Concourse had a vision to create a set of wheels that could convert their 3 wheeled golf bag caddy into a powered and, if desired, remote controlled caddy. Their concept was to have...
Mobile Solar Irradiance Data Node
Your Engineer was engaged by the CSIRO to rapidly develop (8 weeks from concept to deployment) a device that could be deployed in the hundreds to collate comprehensive data on the solar resources of Australia. The device was to be: self powered and self...

Vehicle Dynamic Analysis
Have a need to modify an existing piece of mobile equipment? There's nothing like having good quality test data – but what if you don’t have access to that? Dynamic analysis of vehicles is useful for understanding the loads that your piece of equipment will need to be...
Workshop transportation bogies
A requirement existed, as part of a greater production line, to transport locomotive underframes between assembly stations. Your Engineer implemented a ‘Process-centric’ design approach – focus early on designing the process or task, not the equipment. Understand...
Reinstating structural capacity of a modified passenger car
A passenger carriage had been previously modified as a special purpose mobile testing laboratory. The modification failed structurally in service. Your Engineer was commissioned to re-engineer the carbody to its original as-build structural state. A finite element...
