Team Concept Generation

Problem Statements & Concept Generation:

  1. Design a product that allows users to simultaneously secure/hold multiple objects of different shapes and weights.
    1. Bowl with a suction cup on the bottom
    2. Peeler that is mounted with clamp so that things can be peeled with one hand
    3. Cutting board with spikes for keeping food in place
    4. Counter mounted sharpening block for knives.
    5. Rubber non-slip all-purpose mat
    6. Waist worn basket for moving batches of produce/other groceries.
  2. The product must prevent cuts and burns for any given task that involves hot or sharp objects.
    1. Glove with both heat resistance and cut proof sections, and grip.
  3. Design a product that allows the user to use a two-handed tool with one hand.
    1. Brush with suction cup to clean
    2. Faucet head has brush and soap in it so water, brush, and soap can be controlled with one hand simultaneously.
    3. Vertical oven that uses hydraulics to lift and descend things to be cooked/baked
    4. Countertop apparatus with blade to crack eggs one handed.
    5. Strap that connects handles on larger pots and pans for one hand lifting
      1. With fabric ends
      2. With clips and a removable handle
    6. Multibladed chopping apparatus to make multiple cuts into a vegetable to save time
  4. Design a product that allows equivalent measuring precision one-handed.
    1. Measuring tool that is like a Swiss army knife and has all the measurements in the block so it can be set down and poured into

      1. Some sort of pipette with valves that can measure liquids.
  2. The product must be designed so that it takes less than 20% more time compared to the two-handed tool used for the same task.
    1. Cabinet doors with motion sensors to tell when putting something into the cabinet to save time
