Lab #2
The Design Process &The Book Light
![Page 2: September 4, 2014 ENGR B47 Intro. to Egr. & Design Lab #2 The Design Process & The Book Light](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f395503460f94c55b3c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Today’s Agenda
• Design Process example 1: HPH• Design Process example 2: IDEO• Start a project of our own
– Info on LEDs– Info on building a circuit– Divide into teams– Define project specifically– Start drawing up designs

The Design Process
Imagine it.
Design it.
Build it.
Improve it.
- Landis p.39
• Specifics in 2.2 - 2.3• Walk through case study

Design ProcessCase study: Human-Powered Helicopter
Step 1: Customer Need or Business Opportunity• Different than business route
– Design prize offered by The American Helicopter Society (AHS)
– “Isn’t about creating a practical machine. It is an engineering challenge to the vertical flight technical community. This is a multi-disciplinary project that harnesses technical skills and teamwork to overcome what many have said for three decades was an impossible challenge”
• Open up new possibilities• First offered in 1980, $25k payout

Design ProcessCase study: Human-Powered Helicopter
Step 2: Specifications and Constraints• Set by rules Human-Powered Helicopter competition• Rotary wing• Capable of VTOL• Flight time: 60 seconds• Altitude: must exceed 3 meters momentarily• Drift: stays within 10 meter square*• Energy storage: not permitted• Lighter than air gasses: not permitted
... and others

Design ProcessCase study: Human-Powered Helicopter
• What was not said– Use 6061-grade aluminum– The four blades should have a teardrop profile– The hand-crank should should be positioned above the
pilot
• We don’t care how it works, we care that it works
If AHS knew how to build the best HPH, they’d have done it already!

Design ProcessCase study: Human-Powered Helicopter
Step 3: Data and Information Collection
Step 4: Development of Alternative Designs
Step 5: Evaluation of Design /
Selection of Optimal Design
Step 6: Implementation of Optimal Design
Step 7: Test and Evaluation
Step 8: Redesign! (“fail fast”)

Design Process
• Book tracks those of U. of Maryland Team– Gamera I– Gamera II
• “Whether the Gamera team (or any other team) will have won the Sikorsky Prize by the time you read this is anybody’s guess”...

The Book Light Project
Searched common online marketplace for “Book Light” about nine hours ago (link)
![Page 13: September 4, 2014 ENGR B47 Intro. to Egr. & Design Lab #2 The Design Process & The Book Light](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f395503460f94c55b3c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What Tools Do We Need?
• Light source is LED– Info here is paraphrased from Georgia State
University “HyperPhysics” website
http://tinyurl.com/LEDinfo4BC
• How is it different from light sources we know?
• How does it work?
![Page 14: September 4, 2014 ENGR B47 Intro. to Egr. & Design Lab #2 The Design Process & The Book Light](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081603/56649f395503460f94c55b3c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Knowledge of Basic Circuits
• Wires are like electron superhighways– Idealized as resistance of 0.000 Ω– Never any electron traffic jams
• Battery is like electron elevator(pretty bad metaphor but the best I
can do)– Low energy electrons come in– High energy electrons go out
• Will add in a switch– “Open” means you’ve put up a roadblock– “Closed” means you’ve re-opened the superhighway

Time to Make Teams
• Ideally...– Everyone gets a person familiar with circuits– Everyone gets a person with soldering experience
• If not?– Welcome to real life– Be prepared to learn– Don’t fake it - ask some questions
