Idea: Cell phone charger that uses the

foot tapping motion of an anxious student to create electrical energy.

The tapping motion of the foot will drive a linear gearshaft, creating mechanical energy which can then be converted via a rotational gear and an alternator into electrical energy.

Purpose: Recreate an electrical safety test

fixture which oscillates the device 90 degrees. Preferably run off of a simple motor.

Skills Demonstrated: Design based on constraints. Design for manufacture SolidWorks Documentation Manufacturing

Results: Ability to conduct the safety test

in-house rather than outsourcing. Saves company both testing and

transportation costs.
