We Recognize The Need…Redesign disposable cameras to offset the
declining market due to digital camera sales.
Definition of the ProblemWe want to design a disposable camera to
address the problems of picture quality, durability, e-waste, and sustainability.

Electronic WasteE-waste is electronic
material that is not properly recycled or reused.
Can cause: cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes, fragile bones, paralysis, coma and death

Our ProposalFaster Shutter Speed to optimize picture
qualityTripod Port to connect with standard tripods
to increase picture quality through stabilityWristband and Diamond Grip to decrease
probability of dropping camera; thus indirectly increasing durability
Generator System to replace battery and reduce E-Waste and increase sustainability
Faster Shutter Speed
Larger Shutter Armature
Shorter Connector Bar
BETTER PICTURES!

Disposable Cameras of the FUTURE
The battery will be replaced by a generator to convert mechanical to electrical energy and to reduce the e-waste due to the chemicals in the battery.
Disposable Cameras of the FUTURE
Rotor (3 coils of copper wire)
Magnet (Rare Earth) Casing
Assembly Exterior Gear
Brushes System
Experimental DataHow it works:2 Gear system
Dial gear: 12.mm radiusSecondary gear: 5.mm radius
When exterior gear is spun at 1 revolution/second the voltage output is 1.5 volts.
1.5 volt battery/194 flashes=.0073 volts/ flash
CostOriginal Cost: $11New Estimated Cost: $13.00
Eliminated Battery: -$1.10Generator: +$3.00Wrist band: +$0.10
Despite the new camera design costing more than the original, the generator can be reused while the battery in the original camera can’t be reused. Our design will be more sustainable in the long term.
