Airband: Wearable Inhaler Project
Grand View of the Airband
To combat adolescent medication non-compliance, I came up with a design for a wearable inhaler that would be inconspicuous, aesthetically pleasing and convenient.
Canister
Before the pandemic's stay-at-home order, my team and I began to machine a stainless steel canister that would sit in the wristband without appearing too bulky, but could successfully hold 50 doses of asthma medication.
The canister was designed in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel code to be manufactured successfully and marketed safely.
Thermodynamic and Ideal Gas Law concepts were heavily utilized in the design and testing of this canister.
Mold for Band
Earlier version of a mold for the outer portion of the band. The mold was designed for easy pour/casting manufacturing.
Adjustable bracket for Microwave waveguide
Overall Assembly
The waveguide is held by a bracket that allows for 0.25in movement in each axial direction.
Upper Portion of Bracket
This piece sports a lock-and-key mechanism on the bottom for easy assembly, as well as screw placement for the waveguide at the top of the bracket.
Flange
For waveguide connection to other components.
Car Steering System
Overall Assembly
A simplified rack and pinion assembly with additional protective housing.
