Description:
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.
Wants:
Fitness for task combined with simplicity of design.
Don't Wants:
Complex designs, impossible to produce cheaply

Over simply designs that do not enclose droppings....or pick them up at distance of at least 3-4 inches from hand to droppings.
Software:
  1. Any that non-designer can read

can it be a fusion of plastic and card board where the poop is collected in the cardboard part and only that part is thrown away after use. The plastic part is used again.....????

Hi Jnatzic

Would be a one-time product

>Bio-Degradeable is important...why I think Cardboard / paper best.

>Easy to assemble...perhaps sold &;collapsed&;. And user &;pops&; open to use. easier to build / transport
>
>I think it is important that it is not too large when assembled and used, as users will want to throw away in bins made for dog droppings (they are not that large)
>
>Needs to be reasonable &;air tight&; so doesn&;t smell too much on the way to the dustbin.
>
>I was imagining something that maybe had a cardboard box / tube with two cardboard handles that could be dropped over dropping, then the handles pulled to close bottom of box and scoop at the same time.

>But maybe that might be too complex too design?

>I will be guided by you.

I feel the crux of this project is to get a really functional design that is not too complex to mass-produce at around $1

Will this be a one-time use tool or will it include doggy bags or something that makes it reusable?

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.
Leaside Project
I am building a new home and require innovative interior architectural design options ( kitchen, family room, living room and powder room) that will accommodate an exterior elevation that is already defined. One of the most important aspects to this assignment is the location of the interior foyer relative to the location of stairs that go up to the 2nd floor and down to the basement. The desired design of the foyer is to be defined in terms of its presence but not in a manner that it takes away from the interior space in a significant manner. Once a 1st floor layout is approved, the need to prepare a modern and eye catching interior design (with furniture, crown holding, tray ceilings, wainscotting, etc. ) with photo like renderings will be required. I have attached the exterior elevation (which is reversed to the actual location of the garage) but it provides a sense of the foyer location. I have also provided a PDF of the ground floor footprint that we have to work with. The dimensions of the foot print is fixed. This ground floor plan design is not the optimal in terms of the foyer so we are looking for innovative designs that will fit within the plan dimensions and our needs..
