10. Cost Analysis  Total cost of Prototype: $209.11  Some parts needed to be purchased in large lot sizes  Some parts were donated by the MSD department  Total cost of mass produced unit: $63.47  Includes all necessary parts in price (Customers provide no extra materials)  Plenty of opportunities exist to reduce price

11. Results: Heat Test  Temperature inside inner pot reached 65.5 C for 1 hour  iPooP successfully indicated pasteurization  Handle did not stay below 49 C

12. Results: Wind Test  Preliminary testing resulted in design change of permanently securing reflectors in place  Showed no signs of degradation or tipping while experiencing 20 mph winds  Could not be tested at 25mph wind speeds Reflector Angle: 30 ° Gust of Wind12345678910 Windspeed [mph]1316181219.320121079 Reflector Angle: 60 ° Gust of Wind12345678910 Windspeed [mph]13.812.513.219.812.816.918.917.4128 Reflector Angle: 90 ° Gust of Wind12345678910 Windspeed [mph]13.814.816.916.591415.715.912.716.7

13. Results: Additional Tests  Leak Test: No water leaked from inner bucket to outer bucket  Load Test: 5 subjects were each able to load and unload the pasteurizer in under 1 minute  Volume Test: Pasteurizer held minimum requirement of 3L of water  Durability Test: Pasteurizer withstood strong kick  Wax Melting Temperature Test: Selected wax used in iPooP has a melting temperature of 58.8 ° C

14. Evaluation  Successful accomplishments:  Re-usable pasteurizer  Does not need potable water  Pasteurizes waste in 2.5 hours based on iPooP  Most components can be replaced or repaired in Haiti  Potential Improvements  Handle of pot reaches too high of a temperature and would need to be allowed time to cool before handling  Wax in iPooP melts at a temperature below the ideal pasteurization temperature  iPooP can not be easily replaced in Haiti

15. Lessons Learned  Should have considered handle temp requirement when purchasing pot  Should have ordered wax and tested melting temperatures earlier  Should have allotted more time for testing  Should have acquired materials from what was available as extra and from the machine shop

16. Suggestions for Improvement  Testing in Rochester in Spring/Summer  Testing in Haiti (actual environment)  Use of cheaper materials or materials more readily available in Haiti  Possibility of using in conjunction with Portable Multi Use Shelter (P13414)  Possibility of using in conjunction with Bloom Box Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, which is powered by biomass: http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/a- bloom-box-for-your-pocket http://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/a- bloom-box-for-your-pocket
