Rick has been doing home based engineering projects since I can remember and long before that. That is why I have chosen to have my Dad, Rick Hemmings, help me with this project.Ī picture of my Dad Rick standing in his shop where we built the wind turbine Growing up in a family that sails, ridge soars, land sails, flies kites, and builds and designs all the equipment to do so, I feel like I have a solid background in this field and the support of people who are very well versed in engineering, i.e., my Dad. Of these, I find wind to be easiest to comprehend. Biomass, geothermal, micro hydro, wave energy, and wind energy are just a few. When you say "alternative energy," many people will respond, "like solar?" And I say, "Well.kinda." While solar does have its uses, I have always found the more alternative alternatives most compelling. Lonny, who teaches these courses, is great at inspiring students to pursue their interests in this field.įor many years I have been interested in alternative energy sources. I believe that taking ENGR 114 last semester and ENGR 305 this semester significantly supported that process. My experience and interest in alternative energy and appropriate technology have been growing steadily for the last few years, but I have just recently begun to really dive into it.
