2: Grind/Cut “coffee grind-ed” root

2: Grind/Cut food mill cheese grater food processor herb mill chopper linear grater

Background ~ 0.254m Ø 1 – 2mm Requirements: –Step 1: Separate from dirt –Step 2: Chop/grinded into <1 cm length –Step 3: mix back in with separated dirt –1 cm 3 fertilizer per plant

Design Challenges Tumbler: Excess particles Tumbler Jams Integration

Design Challenges Grinder/Cutter: Power Coffee Grinder (motor) Bike (human power) Speed:~1,000 rad/sec ~720 rad/sec Power:200 Watts (max) 100 Watts

How It Fits Our Idea Area: “Renewable or alternative energy and agriculture…” Producing inoculum root as an alternative fertilizer reduces energy consumption used to produce ammonia.

Background Customers/Market: CustomerMarket Organic farmers$7.8 billion dollar industry in US (2000) Small farmers2.1 million small farms (2002 USDA Census) Farms in developing countries 88,000 metric tons of fertilizer used
