Engineering 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, apoxyressin 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!
