SPIKEY Surge Protection PlugRedditch Plastic Products 1999

Work on the surge protection plug began in 1998

as a new project plan. The company alreadyproduced a surge plug but Spikey combined

innovative new manufacturing solutions and a

more aesthetic design.

Spikey was drawn on Solidworks 99 and was the

first live project that I worked on. Design

included packaging, leaflet, brass andpoly-carbonate components.

MycoLAB Project for HRICoventry University 1998-99

MycoLAB was the follow up to a designfor a mushroom testing machine,developed by the School of Engineering.

This packaged solution was part of a

presentation to the horticultural research

institute, and was a partially functioning

prototype complete with running lights

and mechanism.

Decorative Toggle S witchRedditch Plastic Products 1999

The p roject plan was based on an existing

switch mechanism. The toggle mechanism and

plates for 1,2 and 4 gang versions

were designed.

Now in p roduction, emphasis was placed

on creating an att ractive competitor to other

leading brands. On sale in B&Q warehouse.

Childrens Weighing Scales Project 1998

This bucket type weighing scales was a

coursework submitment Weigh It Upfor a 2nd year university p roject.

Shown is the actual prototype which was vacuum

formed in red, yellow and blue plastic. It was usedin trials by children and I am looking to have it put

into production.

The balance uses no metal or small parts, the

mechanism comes solely from the shape.

I produced a toy based on universal accessibility; for use by children of any ability or intergenerational

play. The prototype shown below in the photographs were fully-functioning.

at schools. The work was carried out inconjunction with help from the school of

psychology.

ECB Environmental Concept Bus 2000-01The vehicle below was presented to West Midlands Transport and submitted as a showcase featuring a

number of design innovations. An 'electro-mechanical-battery' to store, wall mounted seating to aid inthe cleaning of the interior of the vehicle, smart seating, and an innovative articulated central steering

mechanism.. The transport operator expressed interest in many of the ideas put forwards, and I hope to

have provided good ideas to expand and improve public transport.

SolidWorks Reseller and Consultancy.

Danum Technology College, Doncaster 2006-PresentAs specialist t eacher of Engineering, these are projects that I designed for pupils. Planning and preparing

exciting projects and work where children learn from creating, and designed to inspire them to learn.

workshop ski lls, pupils are encouraged to assess and

improve designs with educational worksheets and

interactive online guidance.

(below) as Unit 2, the pupils must build a robotcar to perform tasks. The school has bought

components for 30 vehicles, which are to my owndesign. The project teaches microcontrollers and

production planning using gantt charts and

operates like a manu facturing company.
