This image is part of a series of renderingrsquos from a Parasolid model i have created of the Audi R8 alloy wheel The model was originally produced with Solidworks and rendered with Keyshot 21 i chose to use the Keyshot rendering package as i felt it has a lot more versatility and created a more realistic outcome
i made the model in my spare time to improve the way i approach future projects Using this process of reverse engineering it has helped me break down existing products and visualize the surfacing techniques required to produce and ultimately manufacture products
in addition to this i also animated the model The model shows the acceleration from stationary to 300RPM to and then decelerating back to a stationary position

At the Olympic Games in 2004 there was less than half a second in time difference between winning and losing the gold medal in Kelly Homesrsquo 800m race the menrsquos coxless fours win chris Hoyrsquos victory in the 1km time trial and the menrsquos 4x100m final put together in 2008 there was less than 02 seconds between Rebecca Adlingtonrsquos 400m freestyle win and david Weirs 800m wheelchair racing Gold medals With gold medals won and lost within such tiny margins innovation really can make a difference to the success of British athletes

ldquoExercise causes your body temperature to rise the harder you work the more rapid this rise will be However regardless of training state or climate it is apparent that there is a critical limit at which point athletes are forced to either reduce exercise intensity or risk heat-related illness
The amount of heat stored in the body will limit the duration of exercise at a given intensity it obviously makes sense to start exercising with as cool a body temperature as possible in essence the purpose of body cooling techniques is to increase the margin between your starting Tc and the Tc that will force you to reduce your pacerdquo
SOLUTiOn
Through extensive research i have found that it is possible by surrounding the body in cool air to reduce the bodyrsquos Temperature and maximise the margins
By using compressed gas canistersThe jacket eliminates the restrictive movement which is implemented by the liquid cooled vest systems The jacket doesnrsquot need to be frozen prior to the event
The jacket can be used for a prolonged period of time which means that members of the Great Britain team can use the vests consecutively

MATERiAL And FABRic
The jacket will be made from 3 different materials
The outer surface of the jacket will be made from a lightweight but strong PVc This is because the jacket needs to be light but the panels of the jacket need to be airtight when hot wielded
The surface that will be in contact with the skin will be a blend of polyester nylon cotton and Lycrareg The blend will ensure that the skin can breathe and relay any moisture on the skin to the air surrounding
The two internal surfaces will be made MPET (Metallized Polyethylene Terephthalate) which is the material used in space blankets and reflects ldquo97 of radiated heatrdquo
(httpwwwinsulnettestdatahtml)
This means that the air within the cavity will be kept cooler for longer resulting in lower gas use
PRESSURE VESSEL amp GAS LAWS
Through ideal Gas Laws i have calculated that it would be feasible to use compressed gas to cool the air However to chill the air with just compressed gas to the temperatures needed the pressure would be too high for the canister So the solution is to add a liquid coolant which will react with the air when ejected from the canister
Using 2 x 500ml canisterrsquos and a low volumetric flow rate the jacket can be cool for a full 27 minutes spraying the gas and coolant in 45 second intervals
The inlet pipe injects the compressed air coolant mix into the jacket as the mixture is injected the outlet valve will release a certain amount to keep the pressure constant
Enclosed within the inlet pipe is a temperature sensor to ensure that the temperate is at the correct level to cool the body effectively

To design an adapter that will be used in conjunction with the development of the Ford Transit HVAc ( Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning system) it will be used to attach measuring equipment for the analysis of airflow distribution
The adapter must be designed to be durable and robust to within stand the long time periods of testing
SOLUTiOn
The adapter was created using cATiA V5 and Teamcenter The renderings to the right hand side of the page were produced using Keyshot 21 Ultimately the adapter will be made using SLS rapid prototyping as it is an inexpensive way to produce a bespoke product This allowed me to use an alternative design method using undercuts and varying wall thicknesses
The bottom interfacing plate simulates the instrument panel of the Transit The intention for this is to create the most realistic testing conditions possible and this would replicate the integration between the HVAc and the iP
AdAPTER - FEATURES
The W3mm x H15mm ribs on the base are designed to reduce the chance of torsion misshaping of the adapter Furthermore the reinforcement plate (top third of the adapter) is to aid users when attaching measurement tubes The plate doesnrsquot allow the tubes to pass the defined point The text ldquoV362 Front HVAc - Panel VP Buildrdquo This is so that the adapter is easily recognisable as there will be many adapters throughout the course of development

in my year spent in working cologne Germany as part of the climate team for the Ford Transit Van This was the first project i began with
The images are of a fixture designed to aid the assembly of the long wheeled based Ford Transit Van HVAc System (Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning) The fixture was originally used in charleville-Mezieres France for pre-production prototypes and eventually moved to Turkey The cAd model was designed using cATiA V5 and machined using a cnc machining centre
it is made from aluminum and located underneath are polyamide risers Using the risers allows for clearance of the housing to the workbench and weight reduction for ease of transportation

At the Olympic Games in 2004 there was less than half a second in time difference between winning and losing the gold medal in Kelly Homesrsquo 800m race the menrsquos coxless fours win chris Hoyrsquos victory in the 1km time trial and the menrsquos 4x100m final put together in 2008 there was less than 02 seconds between Rebecca Adlingtonrsquos 400m freestyle win and david Weirs 800m wheelchair racing Gold medals With gold medals won and lost within such tiny margins innovation really can make a difference to the success of British athletes

ldquoExercise causes your body temperature to rise the harder you work the more rapid this rise will be However regardless of training state or climate it is apparent that there is a critical limit at which point athletes are forced to either reduce exercise intensity or risk heat-related illness
The amount of heat stored in the body will limit the duration of exercise at a given intensity it obviously makes sense to start exercising with as cool a body temperature as possible in essence the purpose of body cooling techniques is to increase the margin between your starting Tc and the Tc that will force you to reduce your pacerdquo
SOLUTiOn
Through extensive research i have found that it is possible by surrounding the body in cool air to reduce the bodyrsquos Temperature and maximise the margins
By using compressed gas canistersThe jacket eliminates the restrictive movement which is implemented by the liquid cooled vest systems The jacket doesnrsquot need to be frozen prior to the event
The jacket can be used for a prolonged period of time which means that members of the Great Britain team can use the vests consecutively

MATERiAL And FABRic
The jacket will be made from 3 different materials
The outer surface of the jacket will be made from a lightweight but strong PVc This is because the jacket needs to be light but the panels of the jacket need to be airtight when hot wielded
The surface that will be in contact with the skin will be a blend of polyester nylon cotton and Lycrareg The blend will ensure that the skin can breathe and relay any moisture on the skin to the air surrounding
The two internal surfaces will be made MPET (Metallized Polyethylene Terephthalate) which is the material used in space blankets and reflects ldquo97 of radiated heatrdquo
(httpwwwinsulnettestdatahtml)
This means that the air within the cavity will be kept cooler for longer resulting in lower gas use
PRESSURE VESSEL amp GAS LAWS
Through ideal Gas Laws i have calculated that it would be feasible to use compressed gas to cool the air However to chill the air with just compressed gas to the temperatures needed the pressure would be too high for the canister So the solution is to add a liquid coolant which will react with the air when ejected from the canister
Using 2 x 500ml canisterrsquos and a low volumetric flow rate the jacket can be cool for a full 27 minutes spraying the gas and coolant in 45 second intervals
The inlet pipe injects the compressed air coolant mix into the jacket as the mixture is injected the outlet valve will release a certain amount to keep the pressure constant
Enclosed within the inlet pipe is a temperature sensor to ensure that the temperate is at the correct level to cool the body effectively

To design an adapter that will be used in conjunction with the development of the Ford Transit HVAc ( Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning system) it will be used to attach measuring equipment for the analysis of airflow distribution
The adapter must be designed to be durable and robust to within stand the long time periods of testing
SOLUTiOn
The adapter was created using cATiA V5 and Teamcenter The renderings to the right hand side of the page were produced using Keyshot 21 Ultimately the adapter will be made using SLS rapid prototyping as it is an inexpensive way to produce a bespoke product This allowed me to use an alternative design method using undercuts and varying wall thicknesses
The bottom interfacing plate simulates the instrument panel of the Transit The intention for this is to create the most realistic testing conditions possible and this would replicate the integration between the HVAc and the iP
AdAPTER - FEATURES
The W3mm x H15mm ribs on the base are designed to reduce the chance of torsion misshaping of the adapter Furthermore the reinforcement plate (top third of the adapter) is to aid users when attaching measurement tubes The plate doesnrsquot allow the tubes to pass the defined point The text ldquoV362 Front HVAc - Panel VP Buildrdquo This is so that the adapter is easily recognisable as there will be many adapters throughout the course of development

The images are of a fixture designed to aid the assembly of the long wheeled based Ford Transit Van HVAc System (Heating Ventilation and Air conditioning) The fixture was originally used in charleville-Mezieres France for pre-production prototypes and eventually moved to Turkey The cAd model was designed using cATiA V5 and machined using a cnc machining centre
it is made from aluminum and located underneath are polyamide risers Using the risers allows for clearance of the housing to the workbench and weight reduction for ease of transportation
