Wow that's possibly the most vague thread-post I've ever seen :lol:

-What type of Engineering
-What sector of industry
-To what level (dissertation, thesis, doctoral)

God I could go on.

Top 10 Engineering Projects of All Time (according to my ME101 book):

1. The automobile
2. The Apollo missions
3. Power generations
4. Agricultural mechanization
5. The airplane
6. IC mass productions
7. Air conditioning and refrigeration
8. Computer-aided design and manufacturing
9. Bioengineering
10. Codes and Standards

You just need to come up with #11.

From my experience this is the perfect project:

Something that;

1. Has ability to make or save loads of money/energy/material e.g an improvement on a current design.
2. Can be produced right now or in the near future
3. Is applicable to your country/homeland
4. Can make everyday life easier

It doesn't have to be a new invention or anything.

The easiest projects are food processors.. lol

Something that Billy Mays would sell.

Then you have simple experiments that explore a certain phenomenon or a certain quality of a material or a certain environment.

Then you have a case study of different systems. etc

These are the easiest.. throw in a couple equations and you are good to go.

Check this one; :!: :idea: :arrow: GEARTURBINE PROJECT
Atypical InFlow Thermodynamic Technology Submission
Innovative (TURBO-ROTARY) Fueled Motor Engine Type

*The Gearturbine comes from the contemporary ecological essential global needs of a efficient power plant fueled motor engine.
-Power thrust by bar (tube); air, sea, land, power generation, work application.
-Have the similar simple basic system of the "Aelopilie" HeronΒ΄s Steam Turbine device from Alexandria, (10-70 AD) one thousand nine hundred years ago. Because; the circular dynamic motion, with 2/Two Opposites power (polar position) lever, and is feeds from his axis center.

http://gearturbine.260mb.com
YouTube Video/10.30 min; Atypical New * GEARTURBINE / Retrodynamic = DextroRPM VS LevoInFlow + Ying Yang Thrust Way Type - Non Waste Looses
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cPo9Lf44TE

-Desirable Contemporary Innovation, With the Possible (Efficient) Invention. -Mechanical (Thermodynamic) Universal Human History Evolution. (Unlike) Epic Technology Revelation. -Next Step Powerplant New Design Form Function Device Change.

*8-X/Y Thermodynamic CYCLE - Way Steps:
1)1-Compression / bigger
2)2-Turbo 1 cold
3)2-Turbo 2 cold
4)2-Combustion - circular motion flames / opposites
5)2-Thrust - single turbo & planetary gears / ying yang
6)2-Turbo 2 hot
7)2-Turbo1 hot
8)1-Turbine / bigger

*Innovation Technology Breake Barrier / Paradigm (Broken-Seal) Solution. State of the art. Innovative Turbo-Rotary concept Top system.
-With Retrodynamic dextrogiro vs levogiro phenomenon effect. / Rotor-RPM VS InFlow / front=> to <=front; "Collision-interaction Type" - inflow vs blades-gear-move. Technical unique dynamic motion mode. [Retrodynamic Reaction = When the inflow have more velocity the rotor have more velocity]
Which the internal flow duplicate its speed,when activated being in a rotor with turn (inverse) opposite. A very strong new concept of power torque thrust.
-Shape-Mass + Rotary-Motion = Inertia-Dynamic / Form-Function Wide (FLAT) Cilindrical shape + positive dynamic rotary mass = continue Inertia cinetic positive tendens motion / all the complete Rotary motor mass weight is goin with the power thrust move circular direction.
-Non-waste parasitic looses system for cooling, lubrication & combustion;. -Lubrication & Combustion, inside a conduit radial position, out way direction, activated by Centrifugal Force-Fueled Injected. -Cooling; a)IN-Thermomix flow, & b)OUT-Air Thermo transference.
-Combustion 2Two (Inside-Rotary-Dynamic) continue circular (Rockets) flames. Like two dragons trying to bite the tail of the (ying yang) opposite other.
-Increase the first compresion by going of flow reduction of one big circumference blades going pass to 2TWO reduced, very long distance (total captive compression) INFLOW [inside propulsion] CONDUITS (long flow interaction) (like a digestive system) Start were ends, in perfect shape balance in perfect equilibrium well balanced, like a snake bite his own tale. -4 TURBOS Rotary (inside-rotary-active) (In-Flow, Out-Flow) Total Thrust-Power Regeneration (Complete) Power System. -Mechanical direct 2two (Small) "Planetary Gears" at polar position. Like the Ying Yang Simbol/Concept. Wide out the Rotor circumference were have much more lever [HIGH Torque] POWER THRUST. -Military benefits, No blade erosion by sand & very low heat target profile.
-3 stages of inflow turbo compression before combustion; 1)1-Turbine, 2)2-Turbos 3)2-Turbos. -And 3 points of power thrust; 1-flow way, 2-gear, 3-turbine.

*The most innovative power plant motor engine project today. Higher efficient % percentage. Next trend wave toward global technological coming change.
Patent; Dic 1991 IMPI Mexico #197187 - Carlos Barrera. - Individual Designer - Inventor and project owner. / All Rights Reserved. - Monterrey NL Mexico. :wink:

Purly mechanical. The best mechanical clock without external assistance like a vacuum tank has run for 150 days with the time error inside 1 second. That is just short of an error of 1:13 000 000. The maker was an amateur who is a mathematician. A more accurate clock than that would be a significant acheivement.
