Introduction to Graphics & Engineering Design, Technion
Overview
A two-axis mechanical launcher for a pressurized water-bottle rocket, providing 360° horizontal rotation and 45° vertical elevation via a worm-and-sector gear drive. Designed entirely in SolidWorks and built as an assembly of 3D-printable parts. My focus was integrating three independently-designed subsystems into one coherent model and documenting it.
