Engineering Projects
A few of my personal projects
CNG Fuel System
I designed a compressed natural gas fuel system. The design includes 4 cylinders, inline pressure relief devices, and a fuel management module. The design is similar to the CNG tanks manufactured by companies like Hexagon Agility. I am currently playing with the idea of having a set of heat exchangers and a heat sink to save some of the heat lost while fueling the cylinders. Please contact me if you would like a copy of the AutoCAD file.

Energy Assesment for a Net Zero Home
In 2021 my family built a net zero home. The home has solar power, a septic system, and a rain collection system. The solar power providies enough energy to heat and cool the house, power the pump house, and charge the electric cars. ​​​
​
The home is great, but there are still some issues with the air conditioning and heating. The upstairs suite doesnt heat or cool as well as the ground floor. In an attempt to fix the problem and gain some experience in the field of HVAC I conducted an energy assesment and duct re-design for the home.
​
I am currently in the proccess of optimizing the duct-work to minimize losses. I will not be renovating the home any time soon but the report I have made may be useful someday.
