Table of Contents Project Background Project Management and Organization Design Procedure and Methodology Design Analysis Technical Analysis of System and Subsystems Prototype of Final Design
3
Project Background – Recognizing the Opportunity We recognize the opportunity to profit off of the ability to market and promote drinks at events by launching them to fans. The problem we encountered was slowing down the projectile to a speed that would be safe.
4
People believe this device is best for marketing drinks What Could you see this being used for?# Entertainment8 Marketing17 Sales12 Customer Needs: Ability keep beverage intact Deliver object slowly Sustainable Compact Self-contained Aesthetically pleasing
5
Design Specifications Be able to withstand a 10 foot freefall Deliver drink to fans at 2.5 m/s or less Prototype costs less that $10 to build Holds a drink sample of 100 ml (3.4 fluid ounces) Projectile must have a diameter of 3 inches or less

Concept 3 Falls bottom first Nose cone becomes parachute
11
Concept 4 Helicopter design Inspired by maple seed
12
Concept 5 Bottle Rocket design Bottom weighted Octagonal parachute opens on descent
13
Design 5 was the best design choice Pairwise comparison chart
14
Determining the Drag Coefficient Dropped from 5’ 11” (1.8 m) Multiple trials with multiple layers of trash bags Use drag coefficient to determine parachute area
15
Calculations To determine area of parachute. To determine side length of octagonal parachute. Free body diagram at terminal velocity.
