| DESIGN NAME: Solarpill PRIMARY FUNCTION: Emergency Location Marking INSPIRATION: Design concept is inspired by the story of Hansel and Gretel: how they have found their way back home by following the reflection of the pebbles they have left on their way in advance.. Solarpill is designed to be used for visual communication in emergency situations. Developed for groups or induvisuals working in nature; such as those who do camping, outdoor sports (climbers, cavers, etc.) or search and rescue teams. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: There are two modes of use, main function that the design is mainly focused on is Flashing Mode(or SOS) which provides a communication by flashing periodically. Second mode is for general lighting purposes. If you are in a situation where you need to visually indicate your location in nature, you can leave a trace of where you are by pinning the modules on the tree (or any other proper surfaces) by using the grooved needle detail. An other use by dropping it on a suitable ground or simply by hanging it. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The modules can charge themselves using solar energy, by the existance of integrated light sensor the lighting function becomes active only when the environment is dark. Module can recharges itself when it meet the sunlight; so it can work in 24 - 48 - 72 hours cycles. Each module can be charged separately by using USB port when the modules are fixed on the base. The possibility of getting charged independently by using the sunlight ensures that modules are ready for use at any time. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design for the Solarpill took two months to complete. It is designed at DesignInCave Design Studio in Cappadocia, Turkey in 2019. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Some parts will be produced by plastic injection molding while some others by using liquid silicone rubber injection (LSR) technology. ABS plastic on main body and base, silicone rubber on rotary key rings. Stainless steel for extra weight on the base and the grooved needle detail. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: the dimentions of the recharcing base is 143 x 91 x 26mm and each modules are 20 x 20 x 40mm. TAGS: Emergency, Rescue, Camping, Outdoor, Lighting, Marking, Communication RESEARCH ABSTRACT: During the design process I have researched if there are any products with similar concept in the market; i wanted the design has some unic features which gives it a good adaptation when using in nature. I have also researched for the surface of solar dome, its geometry and some parametric design templates because i wanted to use as much as posible number of surfaces which could face the sun light at right angle. i have also checked some dental products for the grooved needle intagration on the main body.
