This was my first real engineering project. It is an attachment for a Concept2 Model D/E rowing machine. The idea is to take the rigid footplates and instead float them while linking their movement.
If one foot moves away from the user, the other moves toward the user. In this way, the user would be forced to balance the power between the left and right side of their body. This has potential applications
in injury prevention, increased speed, and physical therapy.
To the right, you can see the "Smooth Operator" device mounted between the machine monorail and the two footplates. |

Through this project, I gained experience in woodworking, CAD (F360), welding, brazing, lazer cutting, plasma cutting, and maching. From left to right are the three iterations of the smooth operator.
