Problem: Extremely cost-effective water pump. Action: Designed in SolidWorks & built a rope pump, achieving 25 gal/min on a 12V motor. Conducted & presented research. Using unique materials, prototyping, 3D printing. Broke 9-year university record for rate of water pumped.
This YouTube video of the project, posted by someone other than me, has 1 Million views. I’m the one in the hat. I was very happy with the crazy amount of water we moved- but you can tell I’m still pretty stressed as I check the motor and our data collection.
