Description:
An alternative to picking up dog dropping with plastic bags.A cheap, easy to build, bio-degradeable design.
It should, with a minimum of moving parts, (ideally 1-2 piece cardboard structure), pick up and enclose droppings. Should also include built in handle (reasonably distanced from holding section)
Simplicity is key. As will need to be able to produce cheaply in large volumes.
MUST BE MASS PRODUCEABLE for cost in the region of $1-2.
Wants:
Fitness for task combined with simplicity of design.
Don't Wants:
Complex designs, impossible to produce cheaplyOver simply designs that do not enclose droppings....or pick them up at distance of at least 3-4 inches from hand to droppings.
Software:
- Any that non-designer can read

Discussion
can it be a fusion of plastic and card board where the poop is collected in the cardboard part and only that part is thrown away after use. The plastic part is used again.....????
Hi Jnatzic
Would be a one-time product
>Bio-Degradeable is important...why I think Cardboard / paper best.

>I think it is important that it is not too large when assembled and used, as users will want to throw away in bins made for dog droppings (they are not that large)

I feel the crux of this project is to get a really functional design that is not too complex to mass-produce at around $1

Will this be a one-time use tool or will it include doggy bags or something that makes it reusable?

Unicycle
Hi all, thanks for checking out my contest! I am involved with a company that is looking to receive some entries for a "prototype" electric unicycle. If you aren't familiar let me give you a brief background. Remember the hoverboards last xmas?? The electric unicycle works on essentially the same principle (upside down pendulum theory) to achieve self balancing capability. The current offerings on the market just don't cut it, the plastics are basically thrown together around the requirements of a build, rather than incorporating the necessary components into the design for a smooth finish. I would like the final product to be somewhat futuristic/prototypish looking, maybe a bit sporty. You can get a feeling for whats out there by doing a google search for "electric unicycle". Integral to the design there are 3 requirements. 1.) Obviously the plastic fairing will need to have a cavity for the wheel, but in addition, it will need to subtly include a space for lipo batteries, (doesnt have to be in any particular shape however), and also must include spot for a pcb control board. Both of these items arent excessively large, the PCB is about 4X3 inches and the batteries are about 5X5X1 (but can be reconfigured). 2.) I would also like to incorporate into my design a headlight, and a tail light if possible, but most concerned with head light. Would also like to leave the option open to include small bluetooth speakers, however these would not take very much space at all. 3.) Finally, this design will need to have a retractable handle for balance when getting on/off.
Racing drone (quadcopter) from notes to CAD and 3D model
Your task is to draft a mini racing drone from my design specifications.
The drone itself will consist of two pieces of moulded carbon fibre:
- bottom hull
- hood
Key features of the drone:
- two piece construction with interlocking lip
- tube arms (16mm outer diameter, 12mm inner diameter)
- fit 6" diameter propeller (152.4mm)
- 16x19mm standard motor mounting
- fit standard HS1177 camera with adjustable camera angle from 0° - 70° of tilt
- fit standard flight controller circuit board (30.5mm square mounting holes on the bottom)
- 4mm thick at motor mount
- 3-4mm thickness of hull
THE ATTACHED ZIP FILE CONTAINS SKETCHUP FILES WITH DIMENSIONAL DATA, PROTOTYPE IMAGES AND IMAGES TO USE AS A REFERENCE
Deliverables:
- Technical CAD model of drone components
- Inverse CAD model for the moulds for both pieces
- 3D renders
Bonus points for:
- finite element analysis to highlight structural weaknesses and suggest improvements
- include motors, propeller and other electronics in the 3D renders
Leaside Project
I am building a new home and require innovative interior architectural design options ( kitchen, family room, living room and powder room) that will accommodate an exterior elevation that is already defined. One of the most important aspects to this assignment is the location of the interior foyer relative to the location of stairs that go up to the 2nd floor and down to the basement. The desired design of the foyer is to be defined in terms of its presence but not in a manner that it takes away from the interior space in a significant manner. Once a 1st floor layout is approved, the need to prepare a modern and eye catching interior design (with furniture, crown holding, tray ceilings, wainscotting, etc. ) with photo like renderings will be required. I have attached the exterior elevation (which is reversed to the actual location of the garage) but it provides a sense of the foyer location. I have also provided a PDF of the ground floor footprint that we have to work with. The dimensions of the foot print is fixed. This ground floor plan design is not the optimal in terms of the foyer so we are looking for innovative designs that will fit within the plan dimensions and our needs..
Industrial Design of a Hand Pulse Detector
We are looking for a industrial design (outlook) of a hand pulse detector. This device will consist of the following.
1) Two metal plates on the device that will come in contact with hand when grip on it. This will form a closed circuit between the plates and thereby detect the electrical pulse from the hand (refer to attached for the existing device). Ideally the area of each contact surface of the metal plate should be more than 2000 square mm.
2) A micro USB port for charging the battery.
3) Power Indicator
4) ON/OFF switch.
Internal design of the device is not necessary but must cater enough room to house the below
1) 1500 square mm X 1mm (thickness) PCB
2) 750 square mm X 4mm(thickness) battery.
The design shall be in 3D CAD.
