Authors: Alexander Robert Pomesky, Ohio Northern University; Miranda Nienaber, Ohio Northern University; Thomas James Stickney, Ohio Northern University

@onu.eduThomas Stickeny Ohio Northern University Department of Mechanical Engineering Ada, Ohio45810 t-stickney@onu.eduAbstractHydroturbines provide a valuable source of renewable energy when flowing water is available,offering an efficient way to harness the natural movement of water for power generation. Tosupport hands-on learning in renewable energy and fluid dynamics, a mechanical engineeringprofessor teaching a Renewable Energy course has requested the development of experimentalequipment that will allow students to evaluate the performance of various types of turbinesunder different hydraulic conditions.This capstone project involves the design, fabrication, and testing of turbine modulesrepresenting the three main types of hydroturbines: radial

Development of Next Generation Column Guard - Final Phase of a Multi-Year Senior Capstone Project

Collection: 2025 ASEE North Central Section (NCS) Annual Conference
Authors: Robert Michael, Gannon University; David Gee, Gannon University
Tagged Topics: Diversity

Senior Capstone ProjectAbstract: This paper presents the results of a real-world design project involving both undergraduateengineering and business students. The project involves the design, development, andprototyping of a next generation pallet rack column guard. The guard allows for the engagementand protection of a storage rack upright (column) from an impact force by an external objectsuch as a forklift. The guard protects the storage rack by absorbing and damping the resultingimpact force. The guard is constructed from an injection-molded thermoset elastomer.Elastomers can store and release more potential energy per unit mass (or volume) than steel andplastic guards. This translates to greater energy absorption which will help preserve

This paper is anindividualized development project of an AI-driven wildfire detection system that uses Bitcraze'sCrazyflie drones, where Bitcraze has developed supplemental hardware like the AI deck, flowdeck, and multi-ranger deck. The starting part of this project uses OpenCV-based image processingto identify potential wildfires. Currently, the implementation only looks at the use of a single droneand its capabilities, while, hopefully in the future, the work will integrate advanced AI-based objectdetection and autonomous swarm control for more advanced scenarios. This research, funded by****, shows potential for compact and affordable drones in wildfire response. The earlyapproaches show promise and practicality
