Kyle is done with college! Graduation is today, but he chose not to walk in the ceremony. He didn't want to bother with all the planning and details while he was finishing up his senior project and doing everything else that has been keeping him so busy, and I didn't have time either, so that is okay with me. I'm so proud of him. He studied Mechanical Engineering. He has worked hard and learned a lot. He asked if we could frame his diploma, and I think that's a great idea. Maybe I'll dig mine out and frame it too.
For his senior project his group built a turbine that is supposed to go on a home's water intake pipe. As water passes through it, it creates electricity. The pressure that water travels through pipes into our homes is so high that it would blow our faucets off, so homes have to have a valve to reduce pressure anyway. This is a great way to harness some of that energy that already exists. It still has a long way to go, so their professor who supervised the project is going to have students continue working on it in the future. I think it is a great idea with a lot of potential. Kyle did a lot of the drafting for their project. He is very good at 3D drafting.
Congratulations, Honey!
