An adjustable and portable mounting system for a tablet computing device and solar based charging system is described. An example mounting system for a tablet computing device includes a tablet enclosure with a plurality of gripping portions adjustable to hold tablets with different sizes and shapes, and each gripping portion is configured to grip a corner of the tablet computing device. The mounting system further includes an adjustable solar panel support, which is pivotally attached to the tablet enclosure and where a solar panel placed within the support can be configured to provide trickle charging to the tablet and to orient 360 degrees about three axes of rotation. The mounting system also includes a table stand, which is mounted to the tablet enclosure and provides support of the tablet computing device on a flat surface with a wide range of viewing angles. The mounting system also includes a connector configured to couple to a tripod stand mount, or a similar device.

A fluid percussion system for modeling penetrating brain injury includes a fluid percussion device that takes inputs in the form of pressurized gas and electrical signals from a computer and outputs a single hydraulic pulse, or multiple hydraulic pulses in quick succession. The fluid percussion device may include a pneumatic cylinder assembly and a hydraulic cylinder assembly that is actuated by the pneumatic cylinder assembly to produce the hydraulic pulse(s) of pressurized fluid. Each pulse may be used to rapidly inflate and deflate an attached balloon (representing a brain penetrating device). The balloon may be inserted in a test specimen, and the rapid inflation and deflation of the balloon creates a lesion that simulates a penetrating brain injury. A calibration system that employs an optical sensor may be used to determine maximum balloon diameter achieved during rapid inflation.
