In 2005 I created an artistic project called
The Bike With 2 Brains
which is a 4-wheeled vehicle powered and steered by two riders. I exhibited it at Burning Man on August 30, 2005.
In 2007 I developed a game-like called
The Energy Game
to help people analyze energy use in a camping environment.
I am developing a technique to improve internal combustion engine efficiency that I've been calling the Mileage Maximizer. I'll be plan on putting up a website to document my progress. It's still theoretical at this point, but I hope to run an experiment in 2006 as a proof-of-concept.
In August, 2009, I developed a
Rebar Kinking Tool.
Scrap concrete reinforcing bar ("rebar") can be used as a temporary earth anchor. The tool I made is designed to kink protruding few inches of the rebar at an angle of 90° or more to better contain anchoring ropes and to reduce the risk of injury from stepping on it. In point of fact, rebar is too brittle to bend at a sharp angle without heating it, but the tool works admirably on softer bars up to 1/2" diameter.
In September, 2011, I designed a Bicycle Information Card to help in the case of bike theft.
