3 Group 2  Kyle Cleland  Loren Lobbestael  Tom Pauly  John Tasdemiroglu

4 Objective Develop and Construct the Technical Feasibility of a Low Cost, Compact, and Reliable Beverage Can Crusher, which will crush a 12 oz. Aluminum can to 33% of its original size.

5 Organizational Structure Eugene Machine Technician Co-Workers TACOM & GM Dr. Newaz Professor Gautam Sayal T.A.

6 Project Approach  Demonstrate the ability to crush an aluminum beverage can  Accomplish our goal within our budget  Improve upon the ideas of several patented designs

7 Background  Sept. 3 rd – 7 th – Performed Patent search for can crushers  Sept. 17 th – Design review with TACOM co-workers  Sept. 20 th – Design review with GM co-workers  Sept. 20 th – Met with Eugene to evaluate possible designs  Sept. 27 th – Tested the force required to crush beverage cans  Oct. 2 nd – Reviewed the feasibility to manufacture our design with Eugene

8 Potential Solutions  Power Screw Crusher  Dual Plate Crusher  Twin Screw Crusher

9 Power Screw Crusher

10 Dual Plate Crusher

11 Twin Screw Crusher

12 Selected Design Specifications  Purpose  Crush a 12 oz. Aluminum beverage can to 33% of its size  Materials  Provide strength and durability through the life of the device  Ergonomics  Minimize the forces acting on the body  Function  Provide easy disposal and storage of crushed cans  Safety  Prevent accidental injuries  Aesthetics  Appealing to the consumer  Social Impact  Promote recycling and conserve natural resources  Application  Utilized in homes and at bars/restaurants

13 Selected Design

14 Key Constraints  Cost  Can we design & manufacture within our budget?  Reliability  Does it work consistently without failure?  Aesthetics  Does this product appeal to the consumer?

15 Management Plan  Semi-Weekly Team Meetings  Weekly Progress Reports  Weekly Project Status with Professor  Internal Sub-System Reviews by Technical Peers  Electronic Information Dissemination

16 Schedule

17 Budget ItemsCost Electric Motor$100 Bearings$65 Housing$50 Frame$50 Sprockets$25 Shaft$10 Chain$10 TOTAL$310

18 Summary  Develop a can crusher that will crush a 12 oz. Aluminum beverage can to 33% of its original size  Illustrated our organizational structure & plan with a working schedule  Stated our research using patents, technicians, and engineers  Showed 3 effective alternate designs  Listed the specifications and working model of the selected design  Cost, Reliability & Aesthetics will be the key constraints  Cost of $310 is below the $400 Budget
