The Decomposition Machine
Lack of biodegradeable waste management system
Solution: The decomposition machine. a device with microcontroller based timing system,
readout and sensors to spin a container of used biological products (bannana peels and the like).
The Beginning:
Starting
with the initial idea i decided to create the outer frame from scrap
1X3 and chicken wire. the motor to spin the inner decomposition area is
a windshield motor which was scrounged from scrap yard. As this was my
first outdoor installation, i attempted to waterproof the internals by
coating them entirelly in hot glue.
Just a spinning box?Why would i build a spinning box? this
is a temperature sensing, PWM motor controlled, daylight
observing machine of industrial might.
