Thermopower

ThermoPower is a product that recycles wasted thermal energy inside homes. It is connected to the pipes of heating units to generate electricity. This generated electricity then powers a sensor unit, containing a smoke detector, and carbon monoxide, temperature and humidity sensors.

Working with a multidisciplinary team has not only taught me a variety of technical skills, but also how to communicate across disciplines.  At the beginning, the team had a hard time exploring ideas and iterating, too focused on finding a quick solution. This experience shaped how I approach design, and taught me how important exploration is, even within a primarily engineering project. 

Skills:

• Hands-On Work with Electronics (assembling, testing, soldering)

• CAD and 3D Printing (Fusion 360)

• Physical Prototyping

• Technical Sketching (Procreate & traditional) 

• Video Editing and Animation (Final Cut Pro, Blender)
