Scotch yoke design

The design proposed yesterday during the 49th EESL club meeting is based on scotch yoke mechanism which is  used to convert rotational motion to linear one  and vice versa. The advantages of using such a mechanism is to get more push power, a smoother motion, with fewer parts.

EESL Field Work around Freshkills landfill park 07/06/2015

EESL researchers, Tiffany (Lead), Sam, Ye and Masa went to Freshkills landfill park in Staten Island in  July 6, 2015  and acquired environmental data such as temperature, moisture, wind velocity, etc. This kind of field work, as well as  experimental work and simulation work, is very important for environmental researchers like us.
