Harvard ES 50
United States
Приєднався 15 гру 2015
Engineering Sciences 50 is offered to students at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and Harvard College. As part of the General Education program at Harvard, ES 50 hopes to:
To introduce students to the exciting and useful world of electrical engineering;
To explain how many of the electronic devices that people use every day actually work;
To empower students with the ability to build and program gizmos that sense and actuate the physical world around you;
To encourage students to pursue carriers in EE and/or motivate you to leverage a newly acquired understanding of EE concepts across a wide range of disciplines, e.g., designing products, doing brain surgery, making beautiful art, etc.
After taking ES50, students will be able to leverage the power of electronics to build intelligent and autonomous systems (robots), audio amplifiers (e.g., guitar amp), interactive art installations, light shows, mind-controlled machines, and more!

Team 12 - SOMeS: Self-Operating Micro Ecosystem
Kuma McCraw, Ali Saffarini, Joshua Okolo, Desmond Herzfelder
The Self-Operating Micro Ecosystem (SOMeS) is an innovative project that merges the principles of
terrariums and autonomous ecosystems to create an interactive desk decoration that combines nature with
technology. Designed primarily to monitor and adjust the environmental conditions of a plant, SOMeS
utilizes a series of sensors and actuators to maintain optimal soil moisture and temperature. Key features
include a moisture sensor that triggers watering when necessary, an LCD display for real-time status
updates, and LED animations that visually communicate the system's state. The system was constructed
using 3D printed components and laser-cut acrylic, with a circuitry setup that incorporates an Arduino
MKRZero and various electronic components to control operations. SOMeS exemplifies the potential for
integrating technological automation in plant care, providing a foundation for further enhancements such
as additional sensors and automated systems for comprehensive plant maintenance. This project not only
demonstrates the functional integration of electronic and mechanical components but also highlights
potential areas for technological advancement in creating self-sustaining ecosystems for indoor
environments.

David Dias, Daniel Villafuerte Skiing is a sport that poses many risks to enthusiasts of all skill levels. Risks can include but are not limited to: crashing, getting lost in the mountain, getting dehydrated, getting sunburned etc. From the need for advanced safety measures arose SkiGuard. SkiGuard is a novel wearable real-time monitoring and emergency alert system designed specifically for sno...
Team 11 - Glove Controlled Robot Hand with Pressure Feedback
Переглядів 484 місяці тому
Josefina Biernacki, Katie Le, Layla Dawit, Tiahna Padilla Our group built a robotic hand that mimics the hand movement of a user. The user will wear a glove with flex sensors on the fingers, which will be connected to rotating servos that will pull on strings attached to the fingertips of the robotic hand. As the user bends a finger, so will the corresponding finger on the robotic hand. Further...

Fredrik Willumsen Haug, Dennis Kim, Quinlyn Long The human body releases electrical signals during muscle contractions. Though small potential differences, these signals can be captured and processed to analyze the physiology of the body. The signals can be harnessed to provide a signal for electronic devices, connecting the human body to electronics through the art of electrical engineering. O...

Team 22 - Shredometer 3000 Guitar Tube Amplifier
The Video is well made but the scenario of your fictional story is a very bleak one. So almost all of our home planet is destroyed apart from you four students and your learning establishment. If in the story you succeed in making a usable Radio Receiver where would the Radio Signal(s) that you were hoping to hear on it be coming from? An Alien Spacecraft perhaps? You would only have so much time to listen due to limited battery power and worse than that as human beings need food and drink your days would be numbered.
Did you remove the insulation from the enamel wire? It's actually really hard to remove. You either have to scrape it off with a razor blade, or burn it off. Magnetic antennas are actually really good at penetrating building materials, and so being indoors shouldn't be much of an issue. Magnetic loop antennas are directional, and so they need to be pointed towards the transmitter for best SNR (A process called "nulling" that can be used to direction find the transmitter). Wrapping the antenna around a metal object would greatly affect the inductance of the antenna. You're effectively changing the permeability of the core of the inductor, and that could be significantly throwing off the tuning of the antenna. Tuning the antenna to be resonant without a variable capacitor would be really hard. You'll know when the antenna is tuned when the output speaker is loudest.
Dude I really liked the vibe of this video and the project too
You got something here bud. *Stay off the ladies and grind the components instead.* RF wizard inbound, In a dip2 package! Simple tubes dipole?
I feel like UA-cam very randomly decided I needed to see your presentation, but I'm impressed at your creativity. Well done!

Wow this amazing video quality...
Great
i cant help but think that constructing this out of cardboard may somewhat effect the longevity, not to mention its vulnerability to water
Wat. So you made the storage thing from wall-e but with less compartments and a door? Why exactly is the UA-cam algorithm so set on me seeing it?
