Portable Seeder
This project was my first mechanical design project at EPFL, even tho now the design we did seems a bit strange, and the choices we made as well. We've learned a lot. It was the first time my team designated me as team leader and I had to manage the project, the team and the main design choices. It was a great experience and I learned a lot from it.
The goal was to make a portable seeder that would be adaptable to different types of seeds, and to the distance between them. We had some real constraints
Finished part
The finished result of months of work, the VSI cooling block
Post milling part
The result after I finished milling, just before I weld the top plate on
Channel making
Milling the channels inside the part
Leaks testing
Leak testing the part to ensure perfect safety inside the car
Transient test
The video of a transient test of the cooling block, flowing cold water in it, when it's hot going from 60 to 20 degrees celcius in 2 seconds
Heat simulation
Final result of the heat simulation on the top surface of the part
Fluid simulation
Final result of the fluid simulation inside the channels of the part
