I have applied to MIT. There was an empty text box for blog address so I decided to fill it up by my blog address. Then I was like let’s explain whatever I did back in high school and afterward. So if they come here, they may read it. I can also make sure if they have checked my blog by a high chance. (My blog is not that famous and I don't have a lot of audience from USA.) Anyway let's get to the point.
The first project that I did comes back to my secondary school time, when I was 14. I made bridges models. At the time I did not know anything about hydrophilic systems. Once I was in our school lab and I notice that glass made syringes are so frictionless that gravity can move their piston. I wanted to make few bridges with moving part, so I thought that I can pump water inside the syringes and then it gives me movement in one direction. Then I did a short research and I used cars water pump (the one for cleaning front glass). We were one of the best projects in the exhibition that year although they did not give us any certificate. We had few bridges with moving parts.
I have done tones of small project with my LEGO RCX and NXT (LEGO MINDSTORMS). I made line follower, automatic car, automatic gear shifting (I made manual gearbox of old LEGO Technics and I made it automatic) and a lot more which I can’t even think of it now.
The other major project I spent a lot of time for it was my junior soccer player robot. I worked on it for few years and happily I have the pictures of my robots. (http://imageshack.us/g/259/cimg0921.jpg/) and ( http://imageshack.us/g/267/cimg2661.jpg/ )
The other project that I did was a system which could produce distilled water, petrochemical and electricity. The inputs of the systems were sunshine, wave energy and ocean water. I chose a place in southern part of my country and I did a lot of calculation to prove that it is possible to bring the project to reality. You can see its pictures here (http://imageshack.us/g/593/cimg1534x.jpg/).
Then there was a gap till the point that I entered Taylor’s University. I started a quad with 8 amazing friends. We have done a lot of research about PID control system, filters and we learned a lot of things. I was in the lab at all the time. They used to say that lab is my first house and sometimes I go to my second house to take shower and personal stuff like that. At first we had some difficulties but after a short while the dean of engineering Associate Professor Dr. Mushtak Al-Atabi and deputy dean Dr. Edwin Chung Chin Yau were supporting us in all ways. Meanwhile we were contacting Prof Dr. Benjamin Koo and he was supporting us and he helped with our trip to China and our preparation for presenting our project in CDIO conference.
We went to CDIO conference. (http://www.taylors.edu.my/download/dl_thankyou.php?src=newsletter/blue_print/TAYLORS_SOE_Blue_Print_2011_May.zip&title=Blue%20Print%20Newsletter%202011%20May%20Issue)
It was an amazing experience with all my friends in china and pressure of presenting our project in front of professors from different parts of the world.
After CDIO conference we started working again and we developed the project to this point:
We attended the engineering fair at Taylors university and we won following awards:
1) 1) The Best Research Project Award (Year 1) by Fibertex Personal Care Sdn. Bhd.
2) 2) The Most Needed Project Award (Year 1) by Rhombus Castors Malaysia Sdn. Bhd./ University of Western Australia
3) 3) The Most Technologically Advanced Project Award (Year 1) by National Instrument Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.
4) 4) Joint Winner of The Best CAD/CAM Design Project Award by University of Birmingham
Now, I am working on new quad, and that is the main reason I have this blog. I will post more pictures of my new quad soon.
Thank you for your time. (there is no technical information in this post)
