CLUSTER LIGHTING SYSTEM AIDAN WHITBY Z5259916

DESIGN FOR DISASTERS - FLOODS

HOW MIGHT WE KEEP RESCUERS SAFE BY PROVIDING MORE LIGHT FOR SAFER CHAINSAW AND TOOL OPERATION.

DESIGN PROBLEM Floods often hit during night.

Torrential rain combined with high wind speeds always results in many trees falling over.

Trees need to be cleared so that roads can stay open.

Night causes limited visibility which is an increase risk for emergency services. see what they are doing at night.

RESEARCH EXISTING PATENT FOR ILLUMINATED BAR WAS THE ONLY SPECIFIC CHAINSAW LIGHT I COULD FIND.

WATCH VIDEO VIDEO I MADE SHOWING SOME RESEARCH I CONDUCTED. BEING IN THE SES, THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM I ENCOUNTER OFTEN. https://youtu.be/WA8MQO1Zblg

CIVILIAN MAN DIES WHILE CUTTING AT NIGHT

I THINK ITS A BIT OF A SILLY IDEA BECAUSE THE CHAIN WOULD BLOCK THE LIGHTS ON THE BAR. THE BAR CAN NOT BE WIDER THEN THE CHAIN BECAUSE IT WONT BE ABLE TO CUT.

USER PERSONA

THIS IS STEPHEN

STEPHEN IS A VOLUNTEER IN THE SES. HE IS A CHAINSAW OPERATOR WHICH MEANS HE GETS PAGED WHENEVER A TREE JOB COMES UP IN HIS UNIT. LAST WEEK AN EAST COAST LOW HIT AND HUNDREDS OF TREE JOBS HAD TO BE COMPLETED AT NIGHT. SEVERAL OF THE JOBS HAD TO BE COMPLETED FAR AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE WHICH MEANT THAT LIGHTING WAS AN ISSUE FOR HIM. HIS HEAD TORCH RUNS OUT OF BATTERY QUICKLY AND CREATES A LOT OF SHADOWS ON WHAT HE’S TRYING TO SEE.

CUSTOMER VALUE STATEMENT THIS TOOL WOULD BE AVALIABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND TOO THE FOLLOWING AUSTRALIAN ORGANISATIONS: • • • • • •

POLICE RESCUE STATE EMERGENCY SERVICES FIRE RESCUE RURAL FIRE SERVICE VOLUNTEER RESCUE ARMY

WILLOUGHBY/LANE COVE SES UNIT HAS 30 CHAINSAWS AND IT IS ONE OF THE SMALLER UNITS IN NSW. THERE ARE 240 SES UNITS IN NSW WHICH MEANS THERE IS AN ESTIMATED 7,200 CHAINSAWS IN NSW SES ALONE. ACROSS AUSTRALIA AND ACROSS ALL AGENCIES THERE WOULD BE CONSERVATIVELY 30,000 CHAINSAWS IN USE AND MANY JAWS OF LIFE + DEMO SAWS. WITH THIS MANY TOOLS IN USE THERE IS A DEFINITIVE NEED FOR INCREASED SAFETY AT NIGHT AND SEESAW MAKES IT SIMPLE.

AIDAN WHITBY Z5259916

ALTERNATE USES 4WD AND CARAVAN CAMPERS COULD USE THE DEVICE AS SOME GOOD CAMPING LIGHTS AND THEN USE IT FOR CUTTING FIREWOOD AT NIGHT. “58.7 MILLION NIGHTS SPENT AT CARAVAN PARKS AND CAMPING IN AUSTRALIA IN 2020” (H. YARGER 2020) THE MAGNETIC BACKING MEANS YOU COULD LEAVE IT ON THE BULLBAR FOR EXTRA LIGHT WHILE 4WDING OR FOR LIGHTING UP THE KITCHEN AS YOU COOK.

LARGE AMOUNT OF FIREWOOD OFTEN CUT AT NIGHT.

MICHEAL FROM DESIGN-IT LANDSCAPING SENT ME A MESSAGE AFTER I PUT THE DESIGN ON INSTAGRAM SAYING IT WAS A GREAT IDEA FOR PEOPLE LIKE HIM:

EXISTING PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY OLIGHT WARRIOR X RRP: $359

LEDLENSER IW2R RRP: $70

PELICAN 9490 REMOTE WORK LIGHT RRP: $1886

PROS: - SMALL AND POWERFUL FOR ITS SIZE

PROS:

- VERSATILE WITH THE INCLUDED MAGNETS AND CLIP

- HIGH QUALITY FINISH AND MATERIALS

CONS:

- POWERFUL AND DURABLE CONS: - HARD TO MOUNT TO A CHAINSAW SO THAT IT ILLUMINES WORK AREA

- TOO LONG AND NARROW TO FIT WELL ON A CHAINSAW

PROS: - EASY TO TRANSPORT - WATERPROOF - PROVIDES GOOD LIGHTING FOR LARGE AREAS PROS: - LARGE, EXPENSIVE AND TAKES A WHILE TO SETUP

- NOT WATERPROOF

THERE ARE NO PURPOSE BUILT CHAINSAW LIGHTS SO I HAVE INCLUDED SEVERAL OTHER HIGH QUALITY LIGHTS AVAILABLE TO EMERGENCY SERVICES

REFLECTION I REALLY ENJOYED THIS PROJECT AND IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE AN AREA OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN THAT I’D LOVE TO WORK IN. I MAY FOLLOW UP ON THIS PROJECT BY SENDING A COPY TO SOME APPROPRIATE COMPANIES LIKE OLIGHT AND LEDLENSER TO SEE IF THEY LIKE THE IDEA AND TO SHOWCASE MY WORK. I THINK IT IS A GREAT PRODUCT AND CAN SAY THAT IT WOULD DEFINITELY INCREASE THE SAFETY FOR RESPONDERS IN THE FIELD. ANOTHER POSITIVE FROM THIS ASSIGNMENT WAS LEARNING HOW TO USE KEYSHOT WHICH DEFINITIVELY ENHANCED MY RENDERS BUT TOOK A HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME. I WOULD BE ABLE TO IMPROVE IF I PLANNED OUT THE TIME FOR MAKING THE PORTFOLIO MORE ACCURATELY. MY WORK AT SES:
