After receiving feedback from our classmates and further group discussion, we updated our goals and design aspects.
Goal Summary: Create an inexpensive light that combines natural light from the sun and light from an LED that runs from a solar panel that can be inserted into the roofs of homes in third world countries, utilizing as many common and inexpensive materials as possible (such as plastic bottles).
Goals/ Design Specifications
- Utilize local materials (as many as possible)
- Diffuse light (clarity)
- local manufacturing possible?
- local assembly
- integrate the LED with the daylight
- lasts a long time/interchangeability
- ease of repair/replacement/assembly
- simplicity
- affordable- how much does it cost now?
- Figure out what is working now- Epoxy
- What difference of light maximization is there if the LED is emerged in the water vs. below?
- Vertical vs. horizontal
