We had sat down today to discuss on the project and we have identified a problem and came out with the design brief and the design specs.
Problem:
The problem that the sailors faced is that there are only a few places onboard which provides light to the sailors, and the light isn't bright enough.It is only fixed to one place.
Design Brief:
Design and make a portable lighting product to be used out in the ocean for our
adopted team the Telefonica Black.
Design Specifications:
1) The product has to be compact.
2) The product has to be lightweight so that it would not hinder the ship's performance.
3) The product has to be waterproof so that it won't cause a short cuircit .
4) The product has to be able to produce light that is bright enough.
5) The product must not contain any sharp edges.
6) The product has to be idiotproof (user friendly).
7) The product is multi-functional (Direction & spectrum of light).
8) The product has to have an attachment (suction) which it could be used and stored anywhere in the yacht.
How our product works?
Our product could work as a normal lamp that provide light for the sailors ,also it could be used as a torchlight for them to bring it around.
Difference of our design from current lighting products:
The current products that has the same property as our idea has some design flaw ,which is mostly made up of heavy material which a great factor to our project. If extra weight is being added to the yacht, it will hinder the ship's performance, so every gram counts! The light which allows us to bring around is fragile and would break easily (glass bulb & tube) . Which might pose as a hazard to the sailors.
And guys please take a photo of your design and upload them on the blog thanks.
