OutsideInnovation was founded by an aerospace engineer. We have more than 5 years of experience in RF ion propulsion and the commercial satellite industry.
Boa Technology Product
Boa Technology sought to create a silent, reliable version of its flagship reel-based closure system that preserved its traditional form factor and brand.
Airion Dynamics
OutsideInnovation is one of the original members of the Airion Dynamics team and plays a key R&D role in plasma physics, mechanical design, and analysis.
Prototype Autopilot for MUV
OutsideInnovation designed and installed an autopilot system for the Roatan Institute of Deepsea Exploration on their flagship submersible MUV, Idabel.
Auto-Release Snowboard
We designed a hydraulic actuator with an integrated hydraulic timer to sense when the rider was upside down and release the equipment at the appropriate time.
Blue Hole Belize
OutsideInnovation provided deep-sea submersible piloting and engineering services to this multimillion-dollar expedition to the bottom of the Great Blue Hole in Belize.
Miniature RF Ion Thruster
OutsideInnovation developed the smallest functional RF ion thruster (1 cm in diameter) in the world and had a paper published at the 2005 IEPC and 2009 IEPC.
In-ear Monitor Development
OutsideInnovation was fully involved in developing a high definition in-ear monitor by providing both engineering and management services.
OrthoFi Machine Learning
OrthoFi Inc. sought to improve efficiency in their insurance eligibility check process. OutsideInnovation analyzed and proposed data-driven solutions to the problem.
Fish Collection Device
OutsideInnovation designed a system for catching new species of fish using a deep-sea submersible at depths of 2250 ft allowing for advancements in fish taxonomy projects.
R.I.D.E
OutsideInnovation partnered with R.I.D.E. starting in 2011 and since then has completed 3500+ hours of work on numerous deep submergence vehicle projects.
Novel Viewport Design
A 5-year study to investigate the use for a honeycomb structure in deep-sea submersible window seats as a means to maintain stiffness and decrease window weight.
Piezo Strain Sensor
We developed a data acquisition system with the aim of determining the maximum strain and loading rate in the cable-based closure system for an alpine ski boot.
