#milestone2

Our journey from Milestone 1 to Milestone 2 has been a testament to our dedication and hard work towards creating a product that stands out in the market. In this blog post, we will delve into the key highlights of our recent presentation and the progress we have made.

One of the key additions in our Milestone 2 presentation was the Competitional Analysis. This section showcased a detailed comparison of our product with other similar products in the market. By highlighting the differences, we were able to position our product uniquely and emphasize its strengths.

The next segment focused on the Lean Canvas, a strategic management template that addresses key aspects of a business model. Here, we discussed the problems faced by our target audience and proposed innovative solutions to address these challenges. The Lean Canvas provided a clear roadmap for our product development process.

In the spotlight of our presentation was the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). This section highlighted the core features and functionalities of our product that set it apart from the competition. By showcasing the advantages and benefits of our MVP, we demonstrated the value proposition that our product offers to users.

As we conclude this blog post, we reflect on the progress we have made from Milestone 1 to Milestone 2. Each step has brought us closer to our goal of creating a disruptive and innovative product. The presentation was a testament to our team's collaborative efforts and commitment to excellence. We look forward to the next phase of development with optimism and enthusiasm.

Insustainable energy, the purification of biogas extracted from organic waste iss a critical challenge. Raw biogas contains impurities such as carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, rendering it unsuitable for many applications and detrimental to the environment. This issue spurred the development of various purification methods, each with drawbacks.

Existing Alternatives:

Chemical Scrubbing: While effective, it incurs high costs and generates hazardous waste.

Biological Desulfurization: This method is slow and requires specific conditions, limiting its efficiency.

Membrane Separation: While efficient, it comes with high costs and demands rigorous maintenance.

Activated Carbon Adsorption: Effective but costly, requiring frequent replacement of the adsorbent material.

We identified a gap in the market and developed a unique solution: a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system for biogas purification. This innovative technology efficiently removes impurities, making biogas usable and environmentally friendly. Our success will be measured by the reduction in impurity levels in purified biogas, the number of biogas plants adopting our technology, and the overall environmental impact of purified biogas.

Our MVP is a fully functional PSA system for biogas purification. It undergoes rigorous testing and validation to ensure its efficiency and effectiveness in removing impurities. The testing process involves verifying system integrity, monitoring parameters during adsorption and desorption phases, and optimizing efficiency. Gas composition analysis and performance evaluations are conducted to determine removal efficiency, methane recovery, and energy consumption.

Showcase the bracelet

Show how the bracelet works: Feedback when picking up a product. If you put the product back on the shelf, the bracelet will think you wont buy the product. If you dont put it back, the bracelet will assume you will buy it and add the price to a tally so that the next product potentially gets a stronger feedback.

Show the entire transaction from choosing the product to paying for it

The transaction can be made by using this gadget (bracelet) as well and given the feedback(haptics) with the same intensity as the last purchase that has been made. Ex: if the intensity scales from the first purchse to the last, the intensity of the transaction will be the same as of the last purchase ot the interval you are currently at. In a way to remind the user of their purchase or what interval they are at.

Next supervision was too soon, but our team came up with a number of pretty banal solutions. After each session of silent scetching of ideasion, we discusses each others ideas. Noticebly in most cases we kept ourselfs and teammates on the rational and pragmatical side of the river, meaning we tried to kept track of what will be easiest and most possible idea to develop in given time and with given resorces. 

presenting it at supervision was rather to understand how develeloped should be the project at the end of the course. ADVICE:

  So we were pretty surprised to hear that instead of self-limiting and self-censoring we should rather: “think wider, don’t be afraid to make crazy ideas,futuristic”

For my #milestone2, I had to start making a model of the project, I had to work on the combination of the video with the installation, find a suitable place for the installation and do the market investigation for the products.

First of all, we decided to do our installation exhibition at FADA exhibition hall and for that I have taken the exhibition hall’s plan from Diba and started working on the plan, where to put things, how can they be arranged in the space. So I have started doing some sketches for visual instructions for further process. By this way, we will know how to use the space before our exhibition and it will be easier for us to do it.

At first, I have decided the objects that I am going to use in the installation. In the first stage, I will use and buy black ropes, tulles, mirrors, glasses, lightbulbs, watches and etc. I will buy most of the things that I am going to use from construction markets/fireman bazaar/ulus/siteler. I couldn’t go to Ulus/Siteler but I will go this weekend and will buy the objects for my model-prototype. I will go to Kızılay and buy the ropes and tulles from fabric bazaar. I do not want to exceed 2000 Turkish Liras but I need to go to the places to compare the products and prices. 

I am going to use the ropes to combine video with the whole installation. The ropes will go out of the screens and continue towards the floor, creating a flow like they are leading to places. Some ropes will end up in little screens. The ropes will also represent my inner thoughts, since they will be entangled. I will continue to work on it after I bought the first objects for the project.

woo HOo! thanks guys for following my filled with my random trash on random things I love (that is esp preath)
