Making new products(anything), out of old.Ben Woodard

Brainstorming ideas

presentation

• 3-sided piece of cardboard, so when folded up would make a triangle……whatever those are called

• Background colors• Pictures, bold words, 7-10 new products that

“tell the story” of the title• Contrasting colors

Brainstorm-materials

• Iron• Steel• Grass• Wood• Coal• Paper• Cardboard

Materials-brainstorm

• Plastic• News paper• Shirts• Jeans• Glass bottles• Glass, period• TV,s

Materials-brainstorm

• Aluminum• Apoxy• Apple cores• Orange peels• Plastic bottles• Rubber• Clay

Materials-brainstorm

• Hard drives• Field turf• Rocks• Stones• Carpets• Drywall

Materials-brainstorm

• Cargo containers• Old ceramic dishes• Old wood from houses• Water• Dirt• Ashes from old fires

Materials-brainstom

• CD,s• Records• Cables (electrical)• Pen bodies• Old cars• Old planes• Old cars, and plane parts

Materials-brainstorm

• Tubs, binders, (organizing materials)• Laptops• Computer hardrives (the big block thingys)• oil

Products from materials

• Chair- TV’s, old clothes, paper, apoxy ressin stuff -less important

• Counter tops-ceramic dishes, apoxy, dirt-less important

• Tables-wood, old car/plane metal-kinda important

• A house- cargo containers, turf, mud/dirt/apoxy-kinda important

Products from materials

• New matches-ashes from old fires, thread from old shirts/jeans, grass, citric acid

• Art/sculptures-old computer keyboards, old computer hardrives, computer systems, TV’s, etc-less important

• Park benches-old paper products/cardboard, old steel from car/car parts-kinda important

Notes on products

• New Matches- old ember or ashes could be grinded and blended with water, threads from old shirts, and grass. These materials can be applied and mixed with each other. A orange paste from old orange peels can be grinded, and mixed into a paste, and applied to the mix of ashes, grass, and clothes (linen) oranges have a acidic level, and can burn/smoke

Notes on products

• Park Benches- using old wood that has been sanded, and has a soft touch to it. The board can be made of wood, and have a under base outline of old steel from car/airplane parts. The backrest can be made from car parts also, and have a pad made from old newspaper, applied with a resin to make it weather proof. The outcome-a bench

Notes on products

• Tables- basically a wood top to a table, supported by drive shafts from old cars. The wood would have metal siding for it to be sturdy, also from old cars

Notes on products

• Chair- putting old TV’s on car axles by sliding them in place, in a chair frame. Then taking old shirts and stitching them together to form a pillow, stuffed with shirts/cotton/and composted cardboard. But the inside of the pillows sprayed with non-lethal repellent for insects, and rodents.

Notes on products

• House- synthetic turf is replaced every 10 years, there are cargo containers lying around un-used, dirt is always readily available. By combining 3 cargo containers, and make them interconnect by welding off the sides. You can make a living area, covered by old field turf on the roof, and dirt, pushes around the edges and molded to the house with a epoxy mix to secure the house. A door can be welded out of one of the sides, and air conditioning can be supplied by a source of old coolant that is linked to several cool isolated containers, with a converter and filter to make it air, thus forth make it cold!

Biodiesel instructions-matches

• 1- In a small glass jar add the lye to the methanol, put the lid on the jar, and swirl vigorously until the lye is dissolved. The resulting mixture is very dangerous, so handle it carefully. Wear the respirator during this process until the fluid is mixed into the oil

• 2- The vegetable oil should be warmed in a pan to 130 degrees F. Pour the oil into a 2-L glass bottle. Add the methanol and lye mixture, seal the bottle and shake vigorously for at least 10 minutes

• 3- The oil and methanol oxide mixture needs to stand undisturbed for at least 24 hours. Within the first hour you will see a dark substance separate out at the bottom of the bottle. The darker substance is glycerin, and the clearer liquid on top is your biodiesel. After 24 hours, carefully pour off the biodiesel into another jar, leaving the glycerin behind. Glycerin is used in soap making, so next you can add soap to your home manufacturing skills.

• 4- The biodiesel needs to be "washed," removing the soap formed in the process. Add 1 cup of distilled water and agitate gently until soapy water appears. Since the fuel will float on water, turn the bottle upside down and crack the top open to drain out the soapy water. Wash and drain your biodiesel two more times

• 5- You now have a liter of homemade biodiesel fuel. It should stand open for several days to let any water settle from the fuel. The water will settle to the bottom of the container, and you can carefully pour or siphon off the fuel. You now have biodiesel that will run in any diesel engine and can be mixed with regular diesel fuel in any proportion.

BENCHES!

• LEGS- drive shafts from your local pull it auto parts, of the same diameter, and size, cut to a foot and half in length. The diameter should be 8 inches. Theses shafts will be attached to a hood of the car.

• SEAT- the seat will be constructed of recycled newspaper, that is applied with resin to make it survive in conditions.

BENCHES

• BACKBOARD- the base/outline of the backboard can be made of certain car parts. Sealed to the main bench
