blen e by eduardo arcos from mexico
designer's own words:
This project I decided to make a Blender because the majority of homes have one and they often use it to make their food. With this blender I will tray to take care the energy with a very easy mechanism, which is power’s friction.
The action of the blender originated from the toys cars that have wheels which working with friction and I analyzed that many things could be to make with this mechanism.
I have fused the mechanics of the blender and the mechanics of the toy car, to make an ecologically designed blender that will serve the needs of t he people while sawing energy.
I made a method called user center design, basically this method allow us to discover the needs of the people, and how they use their appliances which the appliances they use frequently or a daily basis with this method I realized that it’s not necessary to use it sometimes, and it is a waste of energy when we do use it. Also the people do not use it efficiently because some blender have many buttons to control the speed, but we only use the fastest speed to make some food that do not need this speed. We use this speed because we do not want to wait.
With this design I tried to cover the basic need of the users. I realize that this mechanics will not have the power of the other blenders but it could prepare food that does not require much power.
The design is simple, clean and easy to use; I tried to design this object for those people who are from a different cultural background than me will not have problems using this.
The materials will be recycled glass and plastic and the blade will be taken from another blender. I will only use these two materials because I don’t want to waste/ use/ manufacture new materials. We don’t only waste metal but many other materials as well.
