Projects

Propulsion, Composite Design & Engineering

A collection of work ranging from hybrid engines and COPVs to regenerative cooling and experimental rigs.

Highlighted Work

These projects represent a mix of simulation, design, manufacturing and testing across propulsion and composite structures. Each one pushed a different part of my skillset – from CFD and FEA to CNC machining, composite layups and test planning.

Composite Overwrapped Combustion Chamber

Composite Overwrapped Combustion Chamber

Type V COPV combustion chamber for Solaris MkIII, designed for 60 bar operation, combining composite overwrap with metallic couplers and extensive FEA validation.

Regen Nozzle

Regeneratively Cooled Nozzle

Ethanol-cooled hybrid rocket nozzle concept, using RPA and MATLAB to size cooling channels and assess wall temperatures and pressure drops.

Pallimustus Rocket

Pallimustus

High-powered rocket airframe and recovery integration, focusing on structural layout, avionics mounting, and manufacturability.

Toothless Project

Toothless

Early experimental build exploring CAD, FEA and hands-on fabrication, forming the base for later composite and propulsion work.

PDT Coffee Table

PDT Coffee Table

CNC-routed plywood table designed as a furniture/manufacturing exercise in tolerances, fixturing and post-processing.

PDT Work Bench

PDT Work Bench

Heavy-duty bench project for workshop organisation, focused on joinery, stiffness, and workflow layout.

Future Project 1

Future Project Slot

Placeholder for upcoming propulsion or structures work – to be updated as new projects are completed.

Future Project 2

Future Project Slot

Reserved for next iteration of engine development, test rigs, or tooling work.
