Heat Sensing With a Smart Tool

Casey Cotter

Abstract

Heat sensing is used in many different fields; ways of collecting the data differs in most cases. My technique is using three thermocouples that sends data to an on board system that then transmit the data wirelessly to a computer. The computer with use the real-time data to tell weather the tool is overheating or is not hot enough. As a result we will be able to not ruin the tool or the project we are working on.  

Biography

I was born in Emmett, Idaho and moved to Libby, Montana when I was two. I resided there until I graduated from Libby High School. I started taking college classes before and after school when I was 16 years old. I have worked construction every summer since I was 15. I came to Montana Tech in 2002 and have been here ever since. To keep myself entertained I play couple intramural sports; Flag Football and Softball. I plan to graduate in December 2008 with degrees in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
