DEVELOPMENT
Stone cookware combined with modern materials was the starting point of out of concept ideation, exploring common stone cookware shaps along with multi-layer functionality.
KEY FEATURES Dual layer cooking 8 cooking functions Stone surface inner pot Serve from pot to table Detachable stirring machine
Monitor, schedule & control cooking where ever you want Browse, save & cook a huge range of recipes
DETAILS
Hiden handle for the drawer.
Separate container for different portion Two optional containers allow drawer to be divided for different food and portion sizes.
Detachable stirring machine The stirrer can be folded into the lid when not required.
PROTOTYPING
INTERACTION TESTING
This is a workshop project which includes design and manufacturing a functional phone dock and phone with CNC machining and 3D printing
Separate Taps Solution Project Brief Some of the old British buildings have a hot water storage tank in the attic which is for heating and water using. According to British regulation, residence can only have separate hot and cold taps instead of a mixer tap because the water from the tank may not be entirely safe. Installing a mixer tap in these houses would be very expensive and time consuming. The project is about designing a relatively cheap and convenient solution that can provide safe, warm and drinkable water without mixing water .
Solution:
Let the hot water and cold run in different tunnel
Use a mini heat exchanger to exchange heat
Use separate tap and controller to fit the sink
Benefits: Clean and drinkable tap water Easy installation No need for replacing the heating system and sink Clear interaction Scald-preventing feature
Features Switch is incorporated into the spout
Separate temperature controller
Heat exchanger allows the hot water and cold water to exchange the heat without mixing
The product can be installed with very simple tools
The heat exchanger is installed below the sink and connected by tap connectors.
Aesthtic Prototype
Functional Prototype
The components of functional prototype include brass tap valves, standard bevel gears, silver steel axles, supporting parts, gears, frames with rack, tap connectors, the hose, 3D printed valve container and prototype of heat exchanger.
