1. Revisit the Project Proposal that you created and your design specifications.

Consider the technical expertise and knowledge that is required to properly design your
product. Has your team acquired the math, science, and engineering knowledge
necessary to properly design your product? Have you contacted experts in order to gain
the necessary knowledge or obtain assistance with the parts of the design that your
team is not well equipped to perform? It is impossible to include an exhaustive list of
math, science, and engineering principles that you should incorporate into the design of
your product because each product design will require consideration of different
concepts. The following list is intended only to get you thinking about concepts that you
may need to investigate further.

Loads. How will loads be transferred from the environment to your product, and
how will loads be transferred within your product? Will the loads be static (unchanging)
or dynamic (changing)? How can you calculate the loads? Will the components of your
product be able to withstand the magnitude of these loads?

Our product would be able to withstand the loads from the environment. The loads
would be heat generated by the motor when the motor is converting the kinetic energy
into useable electrical energy. A casing around the generator and motor would prevent
the motor from being affected from the temperature change in the environment, so it
would be able to withstand the heat during the summer, and the cold during the winter.
The loads that will be affecting our product will be dynamic loads because the
temperature and generated heat are changing variables. We can calculate the heat
generated by allowing the motor to continue to run until the rise in the amount of
generated heat becomes stops rising or until the motor becomes inefficient due to the
generated heat. We could measure how the loads from the change in temperature
affect the motor by allowing the motor to run under a heat lamp to simulate summer
conditions. Then we could allow the motor to run in a freezer of a refrigerator to simulate
winter conditions. Then we would compare the results of how efficient the motor
operated in both environments. In general, yes, we do believe that our product will be
able to withstand the loads put on it.

Materials. Will your choice of materials withstand the test of time? Will the
density/weight of the materials adversely affect your design? Will mechanical properties
of your materials provide sufficient strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance? Will the
material be able to withstand repetitive loading without premature failure? Will the
material operate well within the range of temperatures to which the product will be
subjected? How will the material react to sunlight, temperature variations, chemicals to
which it will be exposed?

The materials will be tested for resistance of weight and the magnetism, materials must
resist to different temperatures and other environmental factors. Our materials will be
tested for more than one time to ensure the efficiency of the product. The materials will
be as light as possible to limit the weight of the product. All of the materials will provide
sufficient strength, stiffness, and abrasion resistance for the product, to increase the
survivability of the product. The entire product will be resistant to temperature variations,
chemicals, water, humidity, and sudden impacts such as drops or falls.

Mechanical Engineering. Does your design require an input of heat or mechanical

power? Are there moving parts in your design? What simple machines are employed in
the design? Will all the components of your product interact effectively? Will the loads
be efficiently transferred from part to part? Do all the parts move at an ideal speed?

Our product would requires kinetic power generated by the magnets on the edge of the
fan blade. The moving parts in our design would be the fan blade and motor. In our
product, we are using screws as our simple machine. All components in our product
would interact effectively with using minimal parts.

Energy. Does your product require an input of energy? In what form is the energy
supplied? How is it converted by your product to produce the desired output?

Our product requires kinetic energy created by magnets on the fan blade. Then, this
energy would turn the gears inside of the motor to produce electricity.

Chemical/Bio Engineering. Does your design involve conversion of raw materials

to another form during manufacture or use? What chemical or biological transformations
are involved in the process(es)?
We have no chemical or bio engineering in our product so this is not applied to our
project.

Electrical Engineering. Will your design involve electricity, electronics, control

systems, telecommunications, or computers? How will these systems be integrated into
your design?
The outcome of our product is electricity, our product does not include any kind of
control system or computers.

2. Have you researched laws, codes, and regulations that could potentially impact
your design? Do you feel that your team has met its ethical responsibility for technical
expertise related to the design of your product? If not, perform additional research at
this time. Revise your product design as necessary.

On October 3, 2014 the Consumer Product Safety Commission was able to publish
codes and regulations for magnets. It said that magnets must have a flux index of 50
kG^2mm^2 or less. The flux index is determined by the method described in ASTM
F963-11, Standard Consumer Safety Specification for Toy Safety.
https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2014/10/03/2014-23341/final-rule-safety-
standard-for-magnet-sets

However, the codes and regulations for magnets were removed on March 7,2015 to
benefit consumer protection, imports, kids, safety, and law enforcement.

UPS shipping regulations for shipping lit

https://www.ups.com/media/news/en/us_lithium_battery_regulations.pdf

There is not much regulations that will affect our product through its manufacturing
phase. There is a UPS regulation on transporting lithium batteries but our product at the
moment is not designed to contain any batteries.

4. Consider the consequences of the development of your product at each phase in

its lifecycle to people (designers, users, nonusers, employees of the manufacturers,
distributors, sellers, etc.), the environment (including the use of nonrenewable natural
resources; the potential release of toxins, waste, or pollution; the creation of visually
unappealing facilities or noise pollution; the effect on animal and plant species, etc.),
and society.

Building the factories to manufacture and assemble the product will have a definite
impact on the environment. The factories will be nicer to look at than factories where
they manufacture steel, or other raw materials. The factories shouldnt produce much
noise; it will produce some noise but not enough to greatly affect the surrounding
environment. Manufacturing the individual parts of the product will result in producing
toxic gas such as calcium oxide. Building the factories will also impact the environment
when the factories are being built. This is because factories need a large amount of
space to be built, and if there is not enough space already on the build site, the
surrounding environment will have to be removed to make more space. This would
result in affecting the natural plant and animal species that live in that area. During the
shipping process of our product, the transport that delivers the finished product will
produce CO2 emissions which will result in more air pollution. And during the End of the
life phase for our product, Chemical gases would be produced from melting down the
plastic from the product, Carbon dioxide from the fossil fuels that are used in the
furnaces to melt the plastic, and Calcium oxide will be produced from developing new
neodymium magnets.

5. Compose an ethical justification for further development of your product by

describing why and how the benefits of your product outweigh the negative impacts.

Further developing our product will allow us to improve our generator and maximize its
power output while further reducing the cost of the generator. This will allow more
people around the world afford the generator, and the generator will be able to power
more items in their house, allowing the customer to save more money. We would also
improve the way the generator operates by reducing the number of magnets on the
motor but retaining the power output. This would make it so that we dont have to use as
much magnets as before the improve which would reduce the amount of toxic gas
emissions during the manufacturing process. Also we would improve the material that
the casing of the generator and the generator itself is made of to make it more
environmentally friendly and easier to dispose of. So this would reduce the amount of
pollution produced from the disposal process of the generator once it reaches the end of
its lifespan.
