Interests

       I have been interested in everything mechanical for as long as I can remember. I became interested in electronics since I was 11 when I received a 200-in-1 electronics experimenters kit for Christmas. I've spent many hours in the garage working on projects. I have listed a few of my favorite projects below:

Monte Carlo SS - My 1986 Monte Carlo SS engine swap.

Inverted Pendulum Project - One of my more interesting final projects

Off-Line Tesla Coil - A solid state Tesla Coil using a massive IGBT as the powerhouse.

Neon Sign Tesla Coil - A more conventional Tesla Coil

Fiberglass Speaker Box - 2 12" woofers in the floor of my trunk

LEDs - 62 LEDs mounted in the headliner of my car

Synchronous DC motor - A DC motor that behaves like a synchronous AC motor

"Grand Plow" - A 1991 Grand Prix modified to plow snow

Miscellaneous - A few other various projects/items
