Description:
Hi all, thanks for checking out my contest! I am involved with a company that is looking to receive some entries for a "prototype" electric unicycle. If you aren't familiar let me give you a brief background. Remember the hoverboards last xmas?? The electric unicycle works on essentially the same principle (upside down pendulum theory) to achieve self balancing capability. The current offerings on the market just don't cut it, the plastics are basically thrown together around the requirements of a build, rather than incorporating the necessary components into the design for a smooth finish. I would like the final product to be somewhat futuristic/prototypish looking, maybe a bit sporty. You can get a feeling for whats out there by doing a google search for "electric unicycle". Integral to the design there are 3 requirements. 1.) Obviously the plastic fairing will need to have a cavity for the wheel, but in addition, it will need to subtly include a space for lipo batteries, (doesnt have to be in any particular shape however), and also must include spot for a pcb control board. Both of these items arent excessively large, the PCB is about 4X3 inches and the batteries are about 5X5X1 (but can be reconfigured). 2.) I would also like to incorporate into my design a headlight, and a tail light if possible, but most concerned with head light. Would also like to leave the option open to include small bluetooth speakers, however these would not take very much space at all. 3.) Finally, this design will need to have a retractable handle for balance when getting on/off.
Wants:
The final concept will be evaluated on how well the designer(s) can incorporate my requirements into the overall finished product. Is it slapped together and designed around the requirements....or rather is it designed from the ground up to conveniently incorporate these added functions....that will be the question I ask when evaluating.*** bonus points if you can cleverly incorporate a "fox" into your design, but not required. If chosen to do so, it will need to be simplistic in order to replicate, but have good taste.
Don't Wants:
a copy of something currently available, with a few changes slapped together. I have included a 2D drawing that I made with the basic principle of what I am looking for, however please incorporate your own style, don't be constrained by my lack thereof.

Congrats Decker and Crozycki.
Congrats Decker and Crozycki! Well done:)
Aw, it was just an idea coming up to my mind at that moment. I was thinking the unicycle might be able to run faster if we can use a micro jet engine or something similar, It will not be pneumatic thou because it will still need electricity. But anyway, I got my prototype design done here. More detail design and installation instruction could be added after if you require~
Vinya: I was just wondering if a seat type was acceptable for an entry cause it was not mentioned in the "don&
;t wants". Stand-up it is...20 hrs left to design. Maybe I can squeeze it in. Thanks for the feedback Vinya:)

They are all stand up type because that&;s the type we found in Attachments, in comments,in sketches may be thats why benito..please submit

John: All the entries so far are purely the stand-up type. Will you accept the seat type uni as well?
Hi John: please don&;t end the contest early. I&;m working on a design at the moment I should be able to submit by the allotted time. Thanks

Does the lipo batteries fixed in both the sides or one side lipo battery and other side PCB?

I don&;t understand the Fox thing ? Should the overall product resemble a fox?

Edward, i extended the contest so you also could update your design if you wish. I&;d say for you to have a realistic shot at the prize, I need to see some better close ups of your unicycle, I can see the cube you made better than the unicycle...
Sorry guys for not yet having clicked prepaid, its taken care of now....I didnt plan cheating anyone out form their money. Hey adam, im going to extend this thing just for you, its not JUST 80 bucks now, its guaranteed, cus its prepaid!
Guys i just wanted to see if i get lucky this time with unpaid contest.
I speak of myself and my designs, sorry but my question very clear and I begin and we talk about it at the end of the competition?
I may or may not extend the date i think the user "adam" wants in, but go ahead and participate if you&;d like, love to have you in the contest.
;d like, love to have you in the contest.
Hi Jhon,
I want to participate if the date is maintained without extension

Well, Adam....lucks on your side this time. You arent forced to contribute. See ya!
i charge 80 bucks just to boot my Cad software up.
2nd place in this contest is a whopping 80 bucks.
Ruby, what do you mean by "pneumatic one"?

Racing drone (quadcopter) from notes to CAD and 3D model
Your task is to draft a mini racing drone from my design specifications.
The drone itself will consist of two pieces of moulded carbon fibre:
- bottom hull
- hood
Key features of the drone:
- two piece construction with interlocking lip
- tube arms (16mm outer diameter, 12mm inner diameter)
- fit 6" diameter propeller (152.4mm)
- 16x19mm standard motor mounting
- fit standard HS1177 camera with adjustable camera angle from 0° - 70° of tilt
- fit standard flight controller circuit board (30.5mm square mounting holes on the bottom)
- 4mm thick at motor mount
- 3-4mm thickness of hull
THE ATTACHED ZIP FILE CONTAINS SKETCHUP FILES WITH DIMENSIONAL DATA, PROTOTYPE IMAGES AND IMAGES TO USE AS A REFERENCE
Deliverables:
- Technical CAD model of drone components
- Inverse CAD model for the moulds for both pieces
- 3D renders
Bonus points for:
- finite element analysis to highlight structural weaknesses and suggest improvements
- include motors, propeller and other electronics in the 3D renders
Digital LCD Name Tag for wine glass
We are developing a digital “Name Tag” (LCD screen) for wine glasses that will communicate with a mobile app. so people will be able to communicate with the tag via their smartphone and find their glass in case they can’t tell which wine glass is theirs...etc.
We are looking for few design concept options for a prototype 3D design that we will print.
ecig design
we need a ecig design, now all ecigs design are boring, all MOD looks the same, ego style all looks the same.we need a unique one,
Where there's muck there's brass
An alternative to picking up dog dropping with plastic bags.
A cheap, easy to build, bio-degradeable design.
It should, with a minimum of moving parts, (ideally 1-2 piece cardboard structure), pick up and enclose droppings. Should also include built in handle (reasonably distanced from holding section)
Simplicity is key. As will need to be able to produce cheaply in large volumes.
MUST BE MASS PRODUCEABLE for cost in the region of $1-2.
Chocolate Melangeur
I need a stone mill grinder powered by an electric motor. There will be two granite stones weighing circa 10 kg each that will spin on top a granite base, which weighs 15 kg. The base will be at the bottom of a stainless steel pan, which will also contain the 2 stones inside it. The pan will spin by the action of an electric engine/reductor, as its base will be locked on top a metal spinning disc connected to the engine/reductor shaft. The two stones will spin in opposite directions by the action of the spinning base. The stones need to apply a force on the base in order for them to fine ground cocoa bits. In order to that, a system of coils needs to be built so that a force can be applied on each stone. The stones and coil system will have to be easily detachable from the pan, as well as, the pan itself from the disc that holds it, so that chocolate can poured in another recipient.
