This is the gallery page for the projects done by Engineering 215. The projects linked here represent the projects/prototypes started by Engineering 215 students.

Gallery Spring 2008 - Full Belly Project

The Spring semester of Engineering 215 worked with the Full Belly Project on a number of design issues. There were essentially three different areas covered:

Haiti
- Hot Dang Plastic Encasement
- Pressed Plastic
United States
West Africa
- The LC sheller
- The Full Bell

-Image:Picture_Incubator_IDDS.jpg|'''[[Fixable Infant Incubator]]'''
+Image:HDPE2504.jpg|'''[[FBP_Hot_Dang_Plastic_Encasement|Hot Dang Plastic Encasement]]'''
-A safe incubator for local health centers, be easily assembled, be portable, need minimal operating capabilities and will keep the infant warm and hydrated.
+The solution employs crocheting yarn made from the plastic bags into a loose form of the shape desired and then using heat to fuse the crocheted plastic into a hard plastic mold.
-Image:Beautiful_briquette.jpg|'''[[Corn Cob Charcoal Crusher]]'''
+Image:Sheller.jpg|'''[[FBP_LC_Sheller|The LC sheller]]'''
-Crush corn cob charcoal into a powder than can be made into a briquette that does not produce a lot of carbon monoxide and can be used indoors.
+To improve the Universal Nut Sheller(UNS), the LC Sheller(Light, Cheap Sheller) design lowered the cost and weight of existing design using locally available and light weight materials.

+Image:Multiplicity_Original_Rotor.jpg|'''[[FBP_Multiplicity|Multiplicity]]'''
-By partnering with local health centers, SNAP can bring cheap and reliable diagnostic testing to the people by simplifying sample preparation for diagnostic tests.
+The Full Belly Project hopes to market this mini nut sheller to the United States public, increasing awareness and funding of the Full Belly Project’s goals.
-Image:Mahangu1.jpg|'''[[Pearl Millet thresher]]'''
+Image:The_Inside_of_Nutsy.jpg|'''[[FBP_Nutsy|Nutsy]]'''
-The purpose of this project is to design and build an affordable, efficient thresher for pearl millet.
+<nowiki>[Our goal was]</nowiki> to be smaller, more portable, and more aesthetically pleasing so that they could have a product marketable within the United States.
-Image:Picohydro-template.JPG|'''[[Picohydro generator]]'''
+Image:FBP_pressed_plastic.jpg|'''[[FBP_Pressed_Plastic|Pressed Plastic]]'''
-Tools that can be used to easily convert a car alternator into an electric generator for picoHydro systems.
+The objective was to create a process in which waste plastic can be reused to form molds for peanut shellers.
-Image:1.jpg|'''[[Power Generation from Mechanical Devices]]'''
+Image:Loganpicture.jpg|'''[[FBP_SimpleSimon|Simple Simon]]'''
-Convert the motion of the treadle pump, a widespread irrigation tool used by millions in Asia and Africa, into electricity.
+Our assignment was to modify the <nowiki>[Full Pelly Project]</nowiki> design in order to make it suitable for the United States market.
-Image:Ropeway_testing.jpg|'''[[Ropeway in the Himalayas]]'''
-Design an affordable ropeway to transport roof tiles and various preserves made by a women's cooperative in the village of Ranikhet up steep hills.
-Image:FamicomClone.gif|'''[[Educational Television Computer]]'''
+Image:FBP_FullBell_Hopper.jpg|'''[[FBP_The_Full_Bell|The Full Bell]]'''
-We propose the use of existing $10 TV-Computers to promote education within developing countries.
+It <nowiki>[The Full Bell]</nowiki> improves the original UNS by reducing the cost and increasing durability of the sheller.
-Image:HIV-budding-Color.jpg|'''[[Breast Milk HIV Shield]]'''
-Provide the foundation for what might become a possible solution for reducing the transmission of HIV from mother to child via breast milk.
-Image:Imageneeded.png|'''[[Interlocking Stabilized Soil Block (ISSB) Maker]]'''
-Improve upon existing designs of presses, so that communities can use locally available resources and skills to produce soil blocks in order to make building projects more accessible.
