2. We Recognize The Need… Redesign disposable cameras to offset the declining market due to digital camera sales.

3. Definition of the Problem We want to design a disposable camera to address the problems of picture quality, durability, e-waste, and sustainability.

4. Contents Disposable Cameras Electronic Waste and Sustainability Survey Statistics Camera Problems Our Proposal Faster Shutter Speed Wristband Attachment/Tripod Port Diamond Grip Generator System Cost Conclusion

5. Electronic Waste E-waste is electronic material that is not properly recycled or reused. Can cause: cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes, fragile bones, paralysis, coma and death www.bestbuy.ca/.../default.asp?logon=&langid=EN

6. Sustainability Ability to maintain a certain process or state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sustainable_development.svg

7. Survey Statistics Consumer Changes:Main Reason for Purchasing Disposable Cameras Increase Picture StoragePrice Digital StorageConvenience/Immediate Need Biodegradable/More Recyclable PartsTemporary Use SustainableEase of Use Easier to get picturesTransportability Zoom and VideoQuality Increase Picture QualityDurability Increase DurabilityEasy to Replace Waterproof Note: Everyone Preferred Environmentally-Friendly Disposable Cameras

8. Camera Problems Picture Quality Durability E-Waste Sustainability www.abc.net.au/.../gallery/photos/s2090414.htm www.clokansas.org/pages/services.htm

9. Our Proposal Faster Shutter Speed to optimize picture quality Tripod Port to connect with standard tripods to increase picture quality through stability Wristband and Diamond Grip to decrease probability of dropping camera; thus indirectly increasing durability Generator System to replace battery and reduce E- Waste and increase sustainability

10. Faster Shutter Speed Larger Shutter Armature Shorter Connector Bar BETTER PICTURES!

11. Disposable Cameras of the FUTURE

13. Disposable Cameras of the FUTURE The battery will be replaced by a generator to convert mechanical to electrical energy and to reduce the e-waste due to the chemicals in the battery.

14. Disposable Cameras of the FUTURE Rotor (3 coils of copper wire) Magnet (Rare Earth)Casing Assembly Exterior GearBrushes System

15. Experimental Data How it works: 2 Gear system Dial gear: 12.mm radius Secondary gear: 5.mm radius When exterior gear is spun at 1 revolution/second the voltage output is 1.5 volts. 1.5 volt battery/194 flashes =.0073 volts/ flash

16. Cost Original Cost: $11 New Estimated Cost: $13.00 Eliminated Battery: -$1.10 Generator: +$3.00 Wrist band: +$0.10 Despite the new camera design costing more than the original, the generator can be reused while the battery in the original camera can’t be reused. Our design will be more sustainable in the long term.
