01 / My engineering portfolio

My work in engineering.

I'm an engineering student at Hochschule Rhein-Waal in Kleve. I'm interested in cars, electronics and programming. Here you'll find the work I've done so far, along with a few things I've built for this site.

INTERACTIVE STUDY / 00260° / V6

Exploded cutaway of an illustrative V6 engine with six pistons, two cylinder heads, a crankshaft, flywheel and oil sump.

Have a look inside the V6.

You can take it apart, turn the crank and see how the parts move.

Assembly separation60%AssembledExplodedCrank rotation0°0°720°

Turning the crank assembles the engine so the rods remain connected. The 2D view uses 24 matching projected positions.

Two banks sit 60° apart. Sections of the cylinder walls are removed to reveal the pistons and liners.

New educational model, created for this portfolio with AI assistance. An original 60° V6 study; not an Audi model or a previous engineering project. Dimensions and valve gear are illustrative; combustion and production clearances are not simulated.

Cylinder block

Two banks sit 60° apart. Sections of the cylinder walls are removed to reveal the pistons and liners.

Left pistons

Three pistons slide in the left bank. Rigid connecting rods link their linear movement to the crankshaft.

Right pistons

The second bank completes the V6 layout. Three crank throws coordinate the six piston positions.

Left cylinder head

The head carries a simplified camshaft and valve arrangement. The cam rotates at half crankshaft speed; valve lift is not simulated.

Right cylinder head

A matching head serves the other cylinder bank. In the exploded view it lifts away to expose the piston crowns.

Crankshaft

Offset journals and fixed-length connecting rods convert rotary motion into reciprocating movement.

Flywheel

Mounted on the crankshaft axis, the flywheel illustrates where rotational inertia smooths motion. No dynamic balance is calculated.

Oil sump

The lower pan indicates the engine’s oil reservoir. Oil flow and the lubrication circuit are not simulated.

UNIVERSITY COURSEWORK

Programming an AVR in C.

A university lab using buttons, LEDs and Boolean logic. I adapted teaching examples, compiled the code and tested it on the microcontroller.

02 / ABOUT ME

A bit more about me.

I'm especially interested in cars and the mechanics, electronics and software behind them. My practical experience so far comes from university labs and my electrical manufacturing internship.

Outside of university, I coach basketball. I also enjoy taking photos, especially when I travel.
