About me¶
Hello there! My name is Saeed Makhlooq. I am a 22-years-old Mechanical engineering student at Bahrain Polytechnic.
Hobbies:¶
-
Reading:
As George R.R Martin once wrote “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, the man who never reads live only one” reading is an integral part of my life because it allowed me to explore different worlds, cultures, and perspectives. It expands my knowledge, fuels my imagination, and broadens my horizons. at the bottom you can access my Goodreads account to follow my reading journey. -
Football:
Since I was a kid, I have been passionate about football. I used to play at the Manama Club, but I had to quit when I started college due to the demands of my education. Although my passion for football has waned somewhat in recent years because of my academic commitments, I still try to play at least once a week to stay connected to the sport I love. -
Movies & Tv shows:
Movies were big part of my childhood, and although my time is tight and limited I always try to go to the cinema once a awhile or catch the latest episodes of my favorite TV show. you can see my Letterboxed account linked at the bottom of the website.
Previous work¶
Since I am still an undergraduate, I don’t have an actual projects. However, I can link some of the projects/Assignments I have completed during university.
Steam Engine model:¶
In my first year of university we were assigned to create a miniature steam engine using cylindrical aluminum and rectangular parts. Guided by detailed engineering drawings that specified dimensions and measurements for each component, we utilized lathe, drilling, and milling machines to fabricate each part meticulously. This handheld engine features an inlet designed for airflow, enabling it to function when connected to an air blower or pressure gun. This project highlighted my early hands-on experience in mechanical fabrication and engineering.
Club car¶
This project involved designing and constructing an electric two-seater golf cart with a solar panel roof for renewable energy capture. Over the course of half a semester, we fabricated the chassis from scratch using cylindrical pipes, which were precisely cut and welded to form the frame. We integrated crucial components such as the brake system and electric motor, ensuring seamless operation from motor to differential. Using a variety of machines including lathes, milling machines, drills, and welders, we fabricated the flooring and completed the assembly.
Experiments¶
Here are few video experiments that I conducted with few students in University:
- Hydrostatic Pressure Experiment
- Calorimetry experiment:
- Sand Pile experiment:
