Mechanical Engineered Assemblies and Parts
United States Marine Corp
The USMC wanted a device that could balance the power inputs of several different size generators and send that power back to base camp where Marines worked/lived. This could be sent anywhere in the world where there is no electricity. One of the design criteria was it being able to survive a drop from a transport vehicle. A stainless steel frame was used for strength and corrosion resistance. I designed the frame, skid, and all mechanical interfaces to mount all electronic/electrical equipment.
