Christopher Bassett's Problem Solving Experience:

  1. -I have developed a fuel efficient modified gasoline engine for an SAE super mileage vehicle using first principals of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, common sense, and a home built power measurement system.
    -I derived a "square knot" by visualizing the force vectors resulting from the tension in the rope.
    I created a reliable tool for bending steel rod (for large wire scale sculpture) by clever placement of welds, taking advance of natural bracing inherent to the situation.
    -I created a piano tuning key by welding a 1/4 drive socket to another, allowing access to what otherwise requires a special tool.
    I constantly re-engineer right handed tools and methods to be done with the left hand.
    -I reduced my parents electricity bill by building a 2.1 kw wind turbine
    -I am developing a solution to the intermittent nature of wind power by using mechanical stored energy.
