Ok so this year, grade 12, my favorite teacher of all time, by far, is retiring after first semester. I can't even start to explain why hes the greatest teacher but trust me, everyone else loves him too, and the ones that dont like him, he doesnt like them for a reason so sh*t goes 2 ways lol.
His course is "Technological Design" and we pretty much do anything and everything from technical drawings to building rockets(see pic of my beast that went the highest and did everything perfectly).
Just because of how he is, you can pretty much build anything you want, well except a intence spud canon. I asked him and he said sorry man, you cant, id have to bring mine in. Lol hes great but yeah he'd get in sh*t for something like that. but anyway, i want to design and build something intence. the problem is, the range is so big(anything) so i can't decide. I just need some good ideas of something complex for my last project in highschool. I was almost thinking build something crazy for him then just give it to him as a retirement gift. So any ideas would be helpfull to get the ideas flowing. Oh, forgot to mention, I'm asking now, even before school starts, because we have all semester for the project and deciding what to do is the biggest problem.
Stuff to keep in mind...
I have accsess and know how to use:
-Medium sized manual mills
-Small CNC mill
-metal/wood lathes
-computer design software(solidworks/autocad)
-mig/stick/tig welders
-like every wood tool you could ever need(and then some because he'd bring his own stuff in for me to use if he had it)
-and all my dads work stuff too(they build custom machines for other companies)
so im pretty much setup to make anything, but i have 4 months to build it.
Hit me with ideas. i like technical sh*t. i was thinking of that spud canon before, but i wanted to make a revolver with several chambers that shot continuesly
so, that gives you an idea of the kinda stuff id want to do.
my rocket
this is my computer cooling tower sh*t. it works but i decided against using it. 6 fans on a tripple rad with the tinted plexi glas and underneath is the pump, resevoir, tubing, wiring and power supply.
and this is my T sqaure i made. its acualy 2 identical pieces but i took one and set it up on one of the mills and milled out a section to 1.5mm then they were glued together then epoxied the straight edge inside, ending up with a clean square. the design isnt that complex but the cool part is how i did that.
