Above were pinion and driven gears designed on Autodesk’s Inventor software. They were finally printed over the weekend using the Mech. Eng. Technology Dept.’s 3-D printer.  Unfortunately I don’t remember the name of the printer off the top of my head but I will list it in the future.  Pictures of the actual printed parts are displayed in the 3-D prints page.

In addition, the combustion chamber project of Professor Nakamura will involve the use of heat tracers which will assist in observing thermal diffusion in the MSW combustion chamber.  Pictures and 3-D prints of the tracers will be created in the near future.
