Pulse Recumbent: The Full-Body Synergy

Redefining the mechanics of movement. The Pulse Recumbent isn’t just a bike; it’s a high-performance machine designed to harness your entire body’s potential. By integrating a unique Push-Pull Steering Drive, we’ve bridged the gap between cycling and rowing.

• Dual-Action Propulsion: Use your legs to pedal and your arms to push/pull.
• Total Body Engagement: Engages your core, chest, and back, distributing the load for a more balanced workout.
• Dynamic Control: The under-seat handlebars do more than steer—they provide a secondary source of torque to the rear wheel.

High-capacity flat scoop (dustpan alternative)

This project introduces a simple yet effective alternative to the traditional dustpan. Instead of using a container-based tool, a flat, rigid sheet is used to transfer debris quickly and efficiently.

In workshop environments, conventional dustpans often present several limitations: limited capacity, frequent spillage, bulky storage, and the need for repetitive motions when handling larger volumes of waste. These issues interrupt workflow and reduce overall efficiency.

The flat scoop addresses these problems by rethinking the transfer process. Rather than “holding” debris, it enables a combined motion of pushing, gathering, and guiding waste directly into a container. Its wide, planar surface allows significantly larger volumes to be moved in a single action. During disposal, the sheet also functions as a temporary barrier, helping prevent debris from scattering outside the target container.

Additionally, the tool requires almost no storage space and can be easily integrated into existing workflows without introducing extra steps or dedicated equipment.

This approach demonstrates how redefining a simple tool—from a container to a guiding surface—can improve speed, control, and usability in everyday tasks.

Mirror-Guided Cutting Aid for Foam Sculpting

This project presents a simple visual aid designed to improve safety and precision when cutting large foam blocks on a vertical saw.

In typical workshop conditions, the cutting guideline is often drawn on the side of a large foam block. Due to the height and size of the material, this line can be difficult or impossible to see from a normal standing position during cutting. As a result, operators frequently need to stand on stools or elevated surfaces to maintain visual alignment—introducing instability and potential safety risks.

This solution addresses the problem by introducing a mirror mounted near the cutting area. The mirror reflects the otherwise hidden guideline into the operator’s natural line of sight, allowing precise alignment to be maintained while standing safely on the ground.

The system is intentionally simple: a lightweight mirror is attached using a non-permanent wooden hook, requiring no modification to the machine itself. It can be quickly installed, adjusted, or removed, making it suitable for flexible workshop environments.

By redirecting visual information instead of altering the cutting process, this approach improves both safety and control without adding complexity. It demonstrates how a minimal intervention can effectively resolve a common but overlooked problem in hands-on fabrication.

Construction & Mounting

The device is intentionally simple to construct. A wooden hook, built in an inverted form, serves as the primary support structure. The mirror is fixed onto this wooden frame and can be directly hung onto the upper part of the machine.

This mounting method requires no modification to the equipment—no drilling, screws, or permanent attachments are needed. As a result, the solution remains non-invasive and preserves the integrity of the machine.

Additionally, the system can be quickly installed, repositioned, or removed as needed, making it highly adaptable to different workshop setups.

This non-intrusive approach enhances both safety and usability, while allowing the solution to be easily replicated and applied in various working environments.
