-==Solar Photovoltaic Research and Application==
+==SCHOOL PROJECTS==
-[[Photovoltaic]] electrical production is a technologically feasible, economically viable, environmentally benign, sustainable, and socially equitable solution to society’s future energy requirements. If anyone is still concerned about the energy payback of solar cells please read [http://jupiter.clarion.edu/~jpearce/Papers/netenergy.pdf this].
-===Amorphous and Nanocrystalline Silicon Solar Cells===
+'''MECH 460 Team Design Project with Knorr Brake Ltd, Kingston '''
-Hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) based solar cells are the least expensive at a given production level and posses an excellent ecological balance sheet. The ecological and economic promise of a-Si:H solar cells is currently incomplete because of the light induced degradation of its electronic properties known as the Staebler-Wronski Effect (SWE). Numerous theories have been proposed to explain SWE, and my work has focused on the analysis of experimental evidence for a complex SWE mechanism - with an eye on controlling and eliminating the problem. Recent [http://me.queensu.ca/people/pearce/publications/ publications] on the technical aspects of a-Si:H solar cells.
-==Passive Solar Device Design==
+*Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of automating the manifold epoxy coating process, in an effort to relieve the costs of manual labor, as well as to reduce the possibility of error caused by human uncertainty.
-I am currently working on several projects that utilize sunlight passively. In collaboration with Denkenberger Inventing and Consulting LLC, a computer program has been written to simulate the complex heat transfer and optics of solar stills and pasteurizers.
+*Solution: Troubleshot the current process and analyzed the solution, provided detailed CAD modeling, materials selection, dimension/force/pressure analysis, cost analysis and critical analysis.
