DESIGN PROCESS
1. User Research
Identifying insights from interviews with a London Underground Train Driver and the Chair of staff disability at TFL.
3. Ideation
Sketching a variety of possible solutions and combing/removing ideas until coming to an acceptable proposition.

5. Testing
Finding out the ratio between force and battery charge and deciding a comfortable force range using a test rig.
7. Mechanism
Making a durable system incorporating a ratchet, compound gear train, and torsion spring to create a smooth transfer of force from user to dynamo.
7. Mechanism
Making a durable system incorporating a ratchet, compound gear train, and torsion spring to create a smooth transfer of force from user to dynamo. Parts were iterativly prototyped via 3D printing.
2. Product Disassembly
Taking apart current battery powered, injection moulded products to learn about electronics, mechanism, and casing design.

6. Circuitry
Calculating resistor and capacitance values, and selecting a battery and microcontroller.
8. Casing Design
Designing in Fusion360 a casing to house all the components and ensure it could be injection moulded for mass manufacture
9. App Development
Prototyping the interface for a conceptual app that would improve usability.
