Week 5

Ideation

My inspiration was from first week session , it was the first cardboard session , and thanks to Ahmed Shehta we successfully do it right

so I searched more and after some thinking I came up with a similar idea of a Bladeless Airflow Fan

Tool Chain

The main thing for the project was the circuit so I used tinker cad to test it before actual implementation.

and of course some cardboard to make the body.

Pen cutter to cut precise pieces

scissors to … cut ofcourse 😐

Mini drill to make some holes

Tape

and glue gun to assembly

Design/Preparation Process

Flashback - Sep 13, 2022 19_55_18.mp4

First I build the circuit on tinker cad, using a mini breadboard, lamp, dc motor (instead of fan), 2 switches, and a power supply (5V 2A)

connected the power supply to the breadboard, then connected the positive to the switch and combine the grounds terminals together to connect the motor and the lamp, finally connect the two positive terminals to the switch to control them

this way the lamp and the dc motor were connected parallel not in series

for the body i used this pattern to make the cardboard flexible to make the circle shape

I used here pen cutter and a ruler

make some sketch and take some dimensions

cut some cardboard

And now it's all good to begin the next stage ✌️

Development/Implementation Process

make a circle shape to attach the fan easily

screw the fan and the cardboard and it's all good for now

then glow the fan and make the circle body

Wow that's too much wires

put there a little lamp with a separated switch so it can be used as a little dim lamp for sleeping

Finally I glued the base and put all the components together

make holes in the body under the fan to allow it to pull up the air, put some screws to left the cap up and it's ready

Overcoming Challenges

First problem I hadn't use this switch before & it's have 3 trims , so i searched for it's diagram and found it online.

Second problem I want to make the cap above to spin by a motor, but I failed at this point so I change my mind and make it manually rotation by hand

And the third problem was the design , i want an unique design

So I basically tried all the designs where in my mind until figure out the best one

Final Project

I end up with this minimalistic simple shape, it's functional will with a low space and materiel so it's all good

all the switches are fine and it didn't explode 😅

WOW!

I love electronics so when I received this kit I was like a little child with a candy 😂😂
