Week 3 3D

Today,


We looked at what we had be assigned as homework, refining our CDU design satchel.


Heres my refined design, it is still incomplete.
My Design For a Bag




Today we also looked at designing an eco friendly mode of transport. We decided on a eco transport similar to the segway.

We chose this as a basis for our design as it already has very STRONG design elements that would be beneficial to any mode of transport.  I feel this would be beneficial for the older folk or the disabled. this would be an alternative to motor scooters.
The main factor that drew us to the segway was it is versatile. The things that we came up to incorporate into the segway would be: the segway to be solar powered, shade, eco friendly, appealing, family friendly, safe. 
Name ideas: Ecocaddy? , Eco Nomik, e' Co 


Function: Transport of all people, different ages and sizes.

Materials: Plastic, solar panels, steel, aluminium, electrics, rubber.


Style: Sleek, practical, attractive.


I really hope we can refine this idea next week as there are a few things that we could add to this design like a 2 seater segway (see below)






We could incorporate this as an alternative car?They look similar to these:

Wouldn't that be funny :) Possibly a more sustainable mode of transport .
