Our Children’s Future is Our Commodity

Innovation in Electronic Membranophone PercussionWith a focus on accuracy, dynamic ability, and

artistic freedom in the electronic context.

Jacob Lamberson andJared Lamberson

Engineering

The Present Paradigm

• Current Electronic Percussion– Accuracy

• Piezoelectric Sensors/Zones– Dynamics– Ease of Use– Price

• Current Sound Modeling– Hardware

• Size• Price

– Software• Complexity• Price

Room for Innovation

• Simulating a Percussive Membrane– 2 Axis Input– Radial Distance Measurements– Magnetic Pickups– Dynamic Input (Pressure Reading)

• Modeling an Accurate Sound– Software

• Our Experience– Hardware

Delivery of these innovations in an accessible price range

This is the primary way in which electronic percussion

can be improved!

Biomedical Meets Engineering

The M.A.G.Magnetic Alternative Generator

Austin Hanebutt and Clayton Hill

Biomedical Sciences

Purpose, Design and Function

The M.A.G. uses magnetic repulsion to make other forms of energy more efficient. The repulsion turns an inner shaft which is connected to a generator. This would enhance the rotational speed of the generator. Therefore producing a greater output.

Impact on the Community

• The M.A.G. would create jobs.

• The M.A.G. would be manufactured in our area. Therefore spurring economic growth in our area.

• The M.A.G. would make power generation more productive, thereby lowering power costs in our area.

Prosthetic Eye

Josie Kulm and Aubrey Marrs

Biomedical Sciences

• This eye is designed to be inserted inside the average human eye socket.

• Embedded camera.

• Wires connect camera to optic nerve/brain.

• Muscle attached to the eye to achieve movement.

Design

How this will BenefitOur Community

• Help the visually impaired to see.

• Create future jobs.

• Peace of mind for family members.

The Crutch

Clayton HillMichael Pennington

Austin HanebuttBiomedical Sciences

The Design

• A New Arm Rest

• The Compression System

• The Non-Slip Grip System

Impact on Society

• Has potential to revolutionize the modern crutch

• Make using the crutch less painful

• Could make the experience more enjoyable

COMMUNITY / SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPHow do we work wellTogether?

36

How do we capture “it….”

• First we must define what “it” is…..• Students must have Pride in their hometown.. They must

want to reinvest.• Local officials must invest, as they hold the cards…• Once you have the people in place, the investment

secured, you then must create the environment…. (The Chain Reaction)
