I would like to continuously work on the door project. I am very interested in intergrating the everyday life movment into useful electricity.
My goal:
1. to make the machenical structure simple and user friendly.
2. reduce the extra effort from the users.
3. play with different possibilities, make the motor to be more efficent.
4. think about how to use the energy !
time line:
3/20: experience with different kind of machenical struture.
3/27: pin down what might work and make prototypes!!!
4/03:
LUCEPLAN:
Pod Lens
materials: Aluminum, polycarbonate(聚碳酸酯), metalized methacrylate(甲基丙烯酸酯), LEDs, rechargable batteries.
gotta make a time line for the door project.
I have two goal to achive in this project.
one is the mechenical structure of the moving door with motor.
the other one is the masurment. over all, it would be a device that can install in any exsisten door.
to power and store for another use.
today Roger and I started to build pummer. the circuit is quiet complex. we had to double check the wires and make sure the connection on each section. here is the progress!!
First part
Roger and I talked about how much time we spend on the mechenical struture and interge it into our idea. it's more like a from top to bottm idea development. We stuck on the structure, and not get into too far on the storage and masurments. this time, we both consider solar energy would be our main target and we would work hard on each detail. We would like to make a simple pummer works and elabrate it for more futures later.

Roger and I continue our idea on the bathroom light project. This week we focus on building a device that could take the "work" from opening the bathroom door to light up a LED. We have a motor and wonder what kind of the mechanical structure would work for this particular motion.
First meeting:
we wanna take the principle of retractable measuring tape to rewind back the twin after every use.
so we opened one of Roger's Tape measures. here is his measuring tape. we studied how the spring work inside of the plastic case. However, after we put everything back into the place, the tap measure couldn't retracte back to the case.
*here is the picture of it ..
*Roger and I had some progress on masuring the voltage and milliamps.
this picture is a stepper motor directely powering up a LED.
