a level product design questionnaire

... FarmI wrote: "Kaiser fuel" wrote in message ... right for everyone who doesn't understand. Solar panels power a pump which draws water from a water butt (rain storage device) and then uses that to water the plants via a drip feed or sprinkler system. the pump will also have a timer attached so you can set it to water at certain points during the day. I have already mentioned mentioned that your 'solar powered watering system' might be a solar pump on a dam but that since such things already existed and thus weren't new or unusual, there was little point in responding. If you insert "water butt" where I used the word "dam", then my response would stand. These systems already exist so there is no product to develop but you could faff a bit round the edges but then most gardeners do that anyway. My understanding of water butt is a small tank say 200 - 500 litres so the power would not need to be as much as for a 5 megalitre dam. Indeed. I don't know why anyone would want any form of pump for a water butt. It's too small to be more than a token and given how fast I empty the overflow plastic garbage bins I have beside my 500 gall tank on my side verandah, a watering can does the job admirably. |

If every product design student had to make a completely new useful product using resources from a secondary school workshop and a budget of about £20 the subject would be almost impossible. The product that i am making is not that widely available and existing ones have problems so there is a product to develop.

After all this discussion - I still have no idea what you are selling ... sorry if I'm missing something. John T. --- Posted via news://freenews.netfront.net/ - Complaints to --- |

The product that i am making is not that widely available and existing ones have problems so there is a product to develop. If you are in secondary school, then you may have misunderstood the audience here. Most here have real knowledge and experience with drippers and irrigation. As far as solar powered pumps, there is little reason not to use mains power when it is available, the cost of the solar panels and pumps that start with little current weighs heavily against it. So you have a niche market, somewhere with no power, and yet often enough rain that your small cistern wouldn't run out. JEFF |
