ALPHA PROTOTYPE.
Background:
Team Delta was tasked with creating a portable and convenient device to clean dishes and utensils without the need for a traditional, fixed dishwasher or manual hand washing. Prior to beginning the design and manufacturing process, there were functional requirements created to gauge feasibility and practicality of this concept. The functional requirements that had to be met are listed below.
Functional Requirements:
-
Can clean a dish (no residual food) in under 10 seconds
-
Must weigh less than 5 lbs
-
Able to use for 30 mins at a time
-
Able to spin in a constant speed
