Here are examples from small past projects, which are not protected by an NDA:
 |
1/2 HP Mobile Root Washer | Here is a custom root washer designed and manufactured for a small organic produce farm in the Willamette Valley. Click the link to the left for a 23-second demo video. |
 |
2 HP Electric Tractor with Pedal Assist | Not all applications require the energy density of liquid fuels. With a 2 horsepower (HP) motor, off-shelf attachments are mounted onto an adjustable toolbar for a wide range of light-duty work. |
 |
3 HP Electric Tractor with Pedal Assist | This larger tractor features a 3 HP assist motor and is about 50% heavier for the kind of work you’d do with a team of three horses—plus the ¼ HP from your own legs as needed. |
 |
Chicken Tractor Adjustable Wheels | These mechanisms allow a farmer to raise, lower, and lock wheels on a mobile chicken tractor (or turkey tractor, or hog house) in multiple positions. |
 |
Chicken Tractor Dolly | This assembly of simple machines (two wedges, two wheels, and two levers) enables a mechanical advantage of over 3:1, with geometry optimized for moving heavy ‘chicken tractors’ or hog houses. |
 |
Rainwater Collection | With 55-gallon drums at each corner of your home, you can have a 220-gallon water buffer for your garden—for rinsing, watering, and irrigation. |
 |
Solar Distiller | This system inputs energy directly from the sun to distill brackish water, without photovoltaic (PV) cells. |
 |
Friction Drive Bicycle Generator | A bicycle is “plugged” into this pedal-driven generator to manufacture electricity. This assembly can be made out of nearly 100% scrap materials from your own local sources. |
 |
Direct Drive Bicycle Generator | A direct drive is more complex but more efficient than a friction drive. In addition to a generator, the output can be attached to purely mechanical attachments, such as a water pumps. |
 |
Specialty Weldments | McGuire Mechanism is highly metal-oriented. If something requires steel that gets cut, bent, or welded, we are your go-to. For example, here is a box for holding an earthen oven. |
