Maybe make it out of recycled metal http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SetAMookToKillAMook
Put one somewhere in the school

The First Prototype
Meeting the CEO + Engineer
15/6/17
Had discussion with former CEO of the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-city, Mr Goh Chye Boon
26/6/17
Met up with an engineer who agreed to help us in the instruction of our prototype
He had a different idea from us:
He wanted to crush the can vertically: No need for counterbalance + gravity works with the crushing force
He explained that the construction process was too dangerous for us to help with
We visited him every day after school to check on the construction and discuss the design with him
3D Model for consideration + more sketches
Online Meeting
15/4/17
Held an online meeting to discuss the prototype
- Narrowed scope to just cans instead of general trash (too general = compromising effectiveness?)
- First sketches of prototype:
Horizontal crushing mechanism operated by lever suggested in Prelims
Consider:
Trapdoor to manually pull out after can is crushed?
Material: 3-D Printed?
