Working on the wipers along with our experts input, we came to the conclusion that wiper blades would not work. This is that with our knowledge and building ability the parts we are working with are to small to produce a working prototype. It would either be bulky an wide, or fragile to the point it would break. Our expert then guided us to the idea of making a visor for the glasses. This solution is efficient, light, and visually appealing.
Documentation Pictures:
Part 1: We bought and gathered all the materials needed for the construction.
Part 5: We gathered new material to build visor as our new solution. All parts pictured were bought from Walmart and Micheals.
Part 9: Three layers of black paint was applied to evenly cover the plastic to make the visor visually appealing. It was then set out to dry over night.
|
Part 2: We cut the metal rod to the length of the frame, then we created the outer boxes for the spring and rod. The opening in the box was created for the wipers to move.
Part 6: Working on AutoCAD to properly design and dimension the two visors so that rain is blocked to its maximum without making the glasses unwearable.
Part 10: The visor was glued and clamped to the clip for an hour to reassure stability throughout the prototype.
|
Part 3: We assembled each part together to see if everything was proportional to each other.
Part 7: The layouts were printed and traced onto the polyethylene plastic for final construction.
Part 11 (a): The final prototype for our visor, the one pictured above is our universal design that can fit any shaped glasses.
|
Part 4: Attached the box and spring system to the glasses using super glue to see if our design was practical and usable.
Part 8: After tracing the forms were cut out of the plastic using dremel and knife for precise cuts.
Part 11 (b): Our other final prototype that is designed specifically for our experiment glasses. Set at an angle for easy rain free vision.
