ZEND OF PHASE ONE
PRESENTATION

A P n e u m at i cHousehold
Revolutionise the kitchen and home by introducing better and new products with an innovative technology through
design intervention.
What are we trying to achieve?
Pneumatics is not a new and revolutionary idea. The technology exists, and is widely used as a centralised energy source for a multitude of tools in a workshop environment. It is a system that delivers power in the form of compressed air to tools, this in turn powers small air motors that translate the flow of air into mechanical motion. The energy is converted at the tool itself, and the delivery system works in a similar way to a electrical circuit.
An existing technology
What is PneumaticsThe application of pressurized gases to
produce mechanical motion.
Smaller and more compactLighter units
Greater power density (smaller units required for same amount of power)Generate less heat
Can be used in more volatile environments Does not require auxiliary speed controller
Larger, heavier unitsLower power density (larger units required for the same amount of power)Generates more heatMore efficientRequires maintenanceHas brushes that wear out over time
Pneumatic Air Motors Universal Motors
VS.
Rotary motion can be generated with compressed air via an air motor. These have certain advantages over traditional universal motors that are currently being used in the vast majority of electrical appliances that require rotary motion around the home.
Motors A comparison
Case study
There are a few pneumatic products on the market that are readily available for the average consumer to use at home - in the garden. These applications include pressure washers and paint sprayers, they are also a good example of industrial products and applications being used in home. The use of pneumatics so close to the home presents a .. for the opportunity to introduce the technology within the home.

Core R&D activities are experimental activities:
a. whose outcome cannot be known or determined in advance on the basis of current knowledge, information or
experience, but can only be determined by applying a systematic progression of work that:
i. is based on principles of established science; and
ii. proceeds from hypothesis to experiment, observation and evaluation, and leads to logical conclusions; and
b. that are conducted for the purpose of generating new knowledge (including new knowledge in the form of new or
improved materials, products, devices, processes or services)

Blending Mixing Cooling
Potential Products[list is not exhaustive]
Delivery
Vortex Cooling
Current setup cannot achieve -30’C temperatures - current compressor cannot sustained required pressure of 90 PSI
Minimum temp @ -5’C on cold end
Maximum temp @ 60’C on hot end
Cooler ‘works’ but needs to work at colder temperatures than current
KEy PointsTemperatures need to be BELOW -18’C (freezer temperatures) to provide benefit over freezers - To provide faster cooling
Mixing hot and cold end streams give the average of two temperatures
Cold end is more efficient than hot end
Air + Water
Adding air into running water increases water pressure (possibly efficiency)
Water and air don’t mix so there isn’t a smooth stream of liquid
Increasing the pressure of air creates a misting effect rather than a constant stream
Low pressure required to generate sufficient water pressure without misting
KEy Points
Milk Tap
Made fully functioning prototype
Very low working pressures - can be below 5 PSI
Viable system even with 12v digital mini compressor
System is compatible with existing milk bags
Competitor requires liquid pump to deliver milk
System requires maintenance and cleaning which takes 45mins
Our system has no moving parts in contact with milk
Cleaning procedure for our system is much simpler
KEy Points vs. competitor
Other explorations : Pressurized Kitchen sink
Potential for use with hydraulic turbine to create rotary station for kitchen appliances
Head attachments to faucet allow for added functionality and power in cleaning - eg. scourer, sponge, brushes etc.
Small enclosed compressor unit can be placed underneath sink
Noise level of existing units quite high - approx. 80dB
May require refitting of existing plumbing setup
Possibility of increase in water consumption (even if water is recycled in system)
Benefits Limitations
(High pressure water)
Other explorations : Canisterisation
Portable power source
Safer around wet environments
Could potentially allow for faster ‘charging’ vs. batteries
Can be used to assist in existing processes
Small volume of air - even at 250 Bar (3500 PSI)
Use only in low air flow applications
May take a period of time to recharge
Danger related to malfunctions is a potential concern

• possible hero devices for power supply adoption
• sustainable, less suitable domestic applications:
• project: Multiplier effect:
• project: Retro fitting ideas:
CleanQuietSustainable
• cleaning• compacting / inflating• focused heating / cooling• drying
• dishwasher• adaptable abode
• high torque, high RPM applications• broad heating / cooling
• each concept is a lot of work • multiply that amount by 24 designs
• design usually based on observation• we are doing the process in reverse • technology first then developing the consumer opportunity
insights
COMMERCIALISATIONHIGHLIGHTS
Compressed Air is being re-branded as HPA (High Pressure Air) and is a much more modern and desireable description of our power source
Opportunity: Rebrand our project and output - HPA Household
Noone knows about and/or uses vortex cooling / heating in an industrial setting
Opportunity: Why hasn’t it been commercialised? Can we bring something new to the market?
Cooling compressed air during compression and Heating compressed air prior to expansion can double it’s energy density
Opportunity: If we aspply a heating element to our compressed air outlets, we can acheive greater results?
BARRIERS
Air compressors with over 3 Horsepower will generally require 415V power supply, which the average household does not have. Solution: Focus on applications that can be powered by 3HP Air Compressor
Compressed air loses power over distance
Solution: We need a 200psi compressor with a 17cfm rating
There is a lot of industrial investment in electricity at the moment being driven by electric car industry, which is benefiting appliances and tools.
Solution: Instigate industry change by creating range of appealing products

Consumers tend to have an array of cleaning devices scattered around their sink. In combination with a regular tap, they may need to exert considerable force/effort/time in order to clean particularly dirty items.
By adding compressed air into the existing plumbing of household taps, you can acheive a higher degree of pressure and a more superior clean. The usefulness of a kitchen sink can significantly increased by creating a number of modular attachments.
• Wide range of potential uses due to modulariy of attachments• Effectively creating a high pressure washer in your kitchen.• Low air pressure require to generate sufficient water pressure• Idea could work just by pressurising water (no compressed air)
• Every household requires a kitchen with cleaning facilities• Whole range of products in modular attachments• Reduce cleaning times for the average consumer• Reduce clutter around the sink
• Installation of air compressor• Creation of smooth streams with an air + water mix• Potentially high noise levels

COLD brew COFFEE
Traditional cold brew coffee is made with a slow drip method, where cool water seeps into the grounds for about 12 hours.
This produces a less acidic and more concen-trated brew, and it will also keep in the fridge for up to two weeks.
With rapid-pressure infusion, you can achieve a low-acid brew in a matter of just two hours.

The manual offering provides customers with an electricity-free method of delivering milk. Each unit holds one ten litre milk bag.
Delivery of the milk is manual, and the chamber will need to be re-pressurized every so often.
The hand pump design creates an area for visual interest and adds theatre to the process of coffee making

External ports on the fridge enables connection between fridge and milk tap.
Cleaning the system can be achieved by using a cleaning solution bag or simply be changing the tubing in the system.
A proprietary lock system built into the door provides an air tight seal which
allows the pressurization of the fridge
The milk bags sit into trays that then slide into place - when in position, the
valve automatically connects to a fitting at the rear of the fridge unit.

Complete System
A third offering of the milk tap system is to offer a complete system to cus-tomers. This system is a stand-alone unit which can be added to a cafe fitout.
A complete system is specifically catered for new fit outs rather than a retro-fit scenario.
