Boeing (Advanced Electromagnet Design)
Engineering Skills Demonstrated
- Custom Circuit Design: Engineered a pulse generator to precisely control the magnetic field and ensure reliable performance.
- Problem-Solving for High-Stress Systems: Designed a solution to eliminate reliance on explosive bolts for disengaging high-load locks.
- Safety and Reliability Engineering: Created a mechanism that maintains latching force during power failures, ensuring operational safety.
- Naval and Industrial Applications: Adapted designs for use in challenging environments, including submarines and large-scale cargo operations.
Project Summary:
- Designed and fabricated an innovative electromagnet locking system for naval and industrial applications. The solution provided a powerful latching force that could be safely and easily disengaged, even under power failures or high-load conditions, addressing limitations in traditional electromagnetic and explosive bolt systems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Developed a pulse generator to switch the poles of a permanent magnet, enabling a highly secure and reliable latching mechanism.
- Prototyped and tested the system for heavy-load naval applications, focusing on cargo locks and submarine hatches.
- Collaborated with teams to explore additional applications, ensuring reliability under extreme conditions.
