Project Development / 24.04.2013

What will you do? Seville is a city with 300 days of sunshine a year. Between May and October the temperatures are very high, reaching 45 degrees Celsius in summer. The shadow is much appreciated. My project is related to the shadow. I want to make a slat protection system that takes into account the temperature and the sun so that the slats are oriented and always get shade. I will make a scale prototype. beforehand who's done what? In industry there are many solar protection systems lamas, but few systems collect data that can be achieved through energy efficiency systems. I want to work on that topic. It will require materials and components? - MDF - Pine Slats - Gears with 3D printer - Two stepper motors - Lords of light and humidity - Connectors -12 VDC power supply  Where are they coming? Fab Lab inventory and local suppliers How much? The cost estimate is around $ 50 to $ 60. This cost includes all materials and components that need to be purchased exclusively for this project, not all materials found in the inventory of the class or in my closet that I have personal materials. What parts and systems will be done? The linear motion system will be built, as well as pieces of wood, 3D printer pieces and electronics and processor cards. What processes are used? CNC machining, 3D printing, laser cutting, electronic design, electronic production, embedded programming output devices, input. What tasks need to be completed? - Full 3d model of the system with all its components. - Mechanical systems test - Place the files cutting wood components - Design and manufacture of electronic systems - Bring all the elements together What questions need to be answered? : - Energy efficiency systems - Systems to protect from weather - Mounting structure. How do you assess? I think that must be assessed in its various sections: design digital manufacturing electronics assembly and operation
