This report summarizes the development of a test stand used to measure the thrust or impulse of pulsed plasma thrusters (PPT). Currently, there is a lack of accessible, cost-efficient methods for measuring thrust in the market due to the difficulties associated with developing a test stand for extremely low thrust outputs. Despite the difficulties, there is an ever-growing need to develop new methods of measuring thrust as the increased demand for small satellites has prompted investors from the government and private sectors to conduct further research into the development of better propulsion systems for space applications. A part of the developmental process of making propulsion systems is being able to test the thrust of these propulsion systems under vacuum conditions that simulate a space environment. This report details the research conducted on existing test stands as well as the process of designing, manufacturing, and testing a thrust measurement device.

Creative thesis written in conjunction with my Media Arts and Sciences capstone project, Relatables. Relatables are a series of collectible cards and pins that feature four fictional characters representing a diverse range of backgrounds and personalities. These characters serve as catalysts for open and insightful discussions, encouraging children to explore and reflect upon the beginnings of complex aspects of human experiences in a comprehensible manner. A QR code on each of the cards direct users to an interactive website that acts as a hub for exploration and discussion where users can access more detailed profiles of each character and resources for parents.

Redesigning a Cost-Effective Projectile Motion Apparatus for High-School Physics Education

Description
This project focuses on the redesigning process of a projectile launcher apparatus utilized in physics education environments. Affordability was one of the main factors accounted for throughout the project, and it was achieved by implementing 3D printing, and by simplifying pre-existing solutions.

This project focuses on the redesigning process of a projectile launcher apparatus utilized in physics education environments. Affordability was one of the main factors accounted for throughout the project, and it was achieved by implementing 3D printing, and by simplifying pre-existing solutions. The outcomes of the project include: the design of a fully functional projectile launcher with less than 5% errors, and a detailed manual that indicates how to build your own, as well as, how to experiment with it in order to explore the physics behind projectile motion.
