[edit] About Me
Name: Luke Halonen
- Some people might call me square, but truly my arms outstretch my height by about three inches. I have a tendency to favor the logical solutions, before approaching the creative ones. It's just the way the hamster runs up there; always forward on a near-frictionless wheel. I really enjoy problem solving. In fact, I often go well out of my way to makes things that don't really matter to me, right. Or to create a solution to something that I'll never see again. If I had a compulsion, it would be that I count things; seconds, steps, people, tiles (ceiling, bathroom...etc), how many times someone says "like". How are you supposed to walk in the dark if you don't know these things?!
- I was raised Midwestern, eh?, but my nature-loving limbs drew me to Northern California. I love the mountains. My most recent summit was a 6,300 to 10,881 climb to Freel Peak of Tahoe; the highest peak in the Tahoe basin. Summiting hills on a bicycle is fun too, in a sick and painful way that is. Some of my strengths include tact, patience, and working on a problem until it's right. While this latter trait could be also considered a weakness when referring to how meticulous I tend to be.
[edit] Interests in Engineering
- The alternative energy implementation to alleviate our reliance upon fossil fuels.
- Preservation of the remaining water resources available to the world, through quality control.
[edit] Experience in Engineering
- General and Organic Chemistry.
- Mathematics including Vector Calculus, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra.
- Engineering Physics through Electricity and Magnetism.
- Team Excergy's Flock House Handcar Generator
[edit] Portfolio
- For Engineering 215, my team, Team Excergy, created the Pump'n Power Handcar Generator. More information on the generator can be found at Flock House Handcar Generator. A video of the Pump'n Power design is embedded below.
- The document created for the Pump'n Power Handcar Generator includes the design process and the specifications for the generator.
- An example of the a memo written in the Pump'n Power design process is here: Memo.
- For project planning, a Gantt Chart was used to manage the project.
- This is an example of an AutoCAD image created for the Pump'n Power document: Gearing ACAD.
- Here is an example of a spreadsheet, my time sheet for the Pump'n Power project: Excel Timesheet.
