What problem or opportunity did you identify that you addressed with your design innovation? - The problem that was identified was overheating game systems or computers causing damage and producing hot air. When video game consoles or computers are used, a high amount of heat is produced which can damage the device and also emit a lot of heat. If a video game console or computer is actively used in an enclosed space over time, it can emit a lot of heat and increase surrounding temperatures What types of ideas did you generate from brainstorming? Provide a short description of different ideas you considered. - We considered different ideas during brainstorming such as : - Console/Computer cooling filters - fan that filters high heat and keeps systems relatively cool - Attachable remote controlled fans - fans that can attach to ceilings and be used during power outages - Clip on fans - Bluetooth connectable fans that can clip onto your shirt when working out or exercising to keep you cooler while sweating How did you narrow down the list of concepts? - We narrowed down the list of concepts by ranking each idea in terms of audience appeal. The Console/Computer cooling filters would likely appeal to more people than the other ideas In generating and evaluating the design concepts, what constraints or requirements did you consider? How did these affect your choices? - In generating and evaluating the design concepts we considered the cost and effort of making the product. We also considered the effectiveness of the product and the science behind the functionality of the fan to produce an effective product. These affected our choices by allowing us to know what will help us produce the best result in relation to time, effort, and money Part of an engineer's job to make a persuasive case for your concept. What is your suggested design innovation and why do you recommend this over all of the other concepts you considered? - Our design innovation is a solution to the overheating and high heat emissions problem of computers and video game consoles in today’s society. We recommend this over all the other concepts that have been considered because computers and video game consoles are used in the daily lives of many people, and by problem solving things that people face on a day to day basis we can utilize the effectiveness and appeal of the product. The other concepts dealt with situations that are not frequently faced. What goals will your design innovation achieve? - We will set to design and perform tests on a scheduled basis and work to produce the end result by a fixed date Describe features that you like to implement in your new product: - Functionality - Cools computer and video game consoles as well as filter out cool air rather than heat - Quality - Air filtering and adjustable power
- Safety features - on/off switch, automatic turn off when system not in use - Packaging - 9x4 Inch boxes - Other considerations - Charging time, applicable batteries Conclude this part with statements of value: - What makes this product the best product available today is that although there are many items that cool different electronics, this one does that AND filters warm air for cool air. It is also cost efficient which makes it the best product for its price - Similar but inferior products cost about $16 and up - Anyone that used computers or video game consoles a lot on a daily basis would appeal to the product the most. Therefore it would appeal mostly to Students, Office workers, Business professionals, and gamers What parts of the fan studied during the previous studio session that could be used in your new product? - On/off switch, Battery holding tray, Wind blades, springs, motor, screws, plastic casing
