Help develop a Stirling engine based alternate power source for the iBOT, Dean Kamen’s stair-climbing wheelchair (dekaresearch.com/innovations), and the self balancing Segway. Teamwork on thermal transfer problems in the design of the burner system, performing calculations with Mathematica. This is same Stirling engine project was later re-purposed for water purification and made into a Netflix documentary called SlingShot.
