Innovative Electromechanical Broom: Solutions to Improve Cleaning and Health Safety
The presentation outlines the conceptual development of an electromechanical broom designed to address issues such as improper posture, dust inhalation, and associated health hazards like pulmonary diseases. The team, including Vidal Dupigny, Tamba Yarjah, and Edet Akpaeti, introduced a prototype integrating ergonomic design and a powered motor. Work completed from May to August 2012 included a prototype development phase. The proposed next steps involve reducing weight, improving electronics, and long-term product development towards a remote-controlled model. Discussion on budget and future activities will follow.

Presentation Agenda • Team introductions • Problem description • Proposed solution • Work completed • Next steps • Activities • Budget • Discussion
Team Introductions • Vidal Dupigny • SSS 3 Science • TambaYarjah • SSS 2 Science • EdetAkpaeti • SSS 3 Science • Mentors: • Francis Decker • History and Literature • James Cole • School Councilor
Problem Description • Posture • Length of broom • Dust Inhalation • Health hazards • Pulmonary Diseases
Proposed Solution • We insinuate that this enigma can be elucidated by an electromechanical automaton sweeping broom. • Design Details • Ergonomic design • Powered Motor (12V/7A battery) • Removable metal scooper
Work Completed • May – June • Innovate Salone Application • July – August • Prototype Development
Next Steps: Activities • Short-term: • Reduce Weight and Size • Improved Electronics • Capacitors, etc • More Brushes • Long-term: • Product Development • Remote Controlled
Next Steps: Budget • Short-term: • [Activity #1] • [Activity #2] • [Activity #3] • Long-term: • [Activity #1] • [Activity #2] • [Activity #3]
