This project showcases a prototype of an ergonomic phone holder specifically designed to reduce the pressure placed on the pinky finger while holding a smartphone horizontally for gaming. The device provides additional support and promotes a more natural hand posture during prolonged use. I designed this concept on SolidWorks and fabricated it using a Prusa Mini 3D printer. The design was made with user comfort in mind, combining functional ergonomics with a clean, minimal aesthetic.
Implemented a driver-induced SERVO-controlled DRS system using PWM method, reducing the overall drag by 13%. Simulated different pivot points to find the most optimal position reducing the torque required to operate the DRS. Integrated the SERVO inside the wing itself to reduce implement direct actuation instead of conventional 4-bar mechanism reducing play and complexity.
Designed a golf club head to withstand given load conditions and DFAM principles using an iterative process. Ran FEA and Build simulation in NX to simulate the heat dissipation and reduce print failures. Printed the club head using metal LPBF and conducted on field testing.
Detailed study about correlation of angle of attack, vortices, and flow separation in an airfoil. 5 different vortex generator designs were simulated using CFD in SimScale. The separation angle of a standard S1223 airfoil was increased by 5 degrees using Delta wing shaped vortex generators
