ETP

It stands for Engineering Team Project, a subject that is made compulsory for all third year first semester engineering students.

My ETP teammates.

(from left: Azrul and suhaimi from Mechanical eng, Mamu from EE eng, Dr John (our supervisor), me, Nisha from chemical eng and Huda from EE eng)

Since the grouping was done by the course coordinator, I basically didn't know anyone of them before we were put in the same group.
Our task is to come out with a engineering project to pass the course.
So we invented this:

We call it SHOE DRYER

Building this prototype is never easy. It all started from an idea, survey, research, investigation on the engineering concepts applied, experiments to prove the concepts, fabrication of the prototype, modification of the model and finally the model you see in the picture above.

I know it looks a little bit like a coffin -_-"

However, its much useful than what it looks like.
It is proven that it is able to dry shoes within 2-3 hours without leaving any yellow stains or unpleasant smell on the shoes.
Just place your shoes in it, set a suitable temperature and wait for 2 hours for it to dry completely.
This product is still not perfect yet, as this is only a prototype and we constructed it all by urselves. It can still be further improved.

Actually..
The purpose I am writting all these is to know that..
if this product is to be commercialize with the price of about RM100-150
would you consider to buy one??
hehe..



p/s: I just wanna know what do you think about this product..
I am not doing any business here..
I am neither promoting nor selling it..
Because we only have one SHOE DRYER and its not belong to me.

I might consider, if your price is reduced to around RM50.
Possible, haha ...

Anyway, congrats for the award!

i wont buy, unless i live in a world with no sunlight 365 days a year.

melvin, RM50 ar? possible also.. but u can't find any heating element in it la.. hahaha.. (it should be renamed 'SHOE BLOWER' then..)

CCK, I don't think you need it lo.. my SHOE DRYER is invented to dry shoes, not chicken's feet :P

Kian said...

that's why , its function is not multipurpose so ur target customers are lesser lo, then mah less marketable lo, chicken cannot use

p/s:i dun have chichken feet
p/s:i dun like to eat chicken feet also

sOuR said...

yala.. too bad the product is not suitable for u..

But dun worry.. this is just a prototype.. of coz if its to be commercialize, the features can be improved.. it could be modified so that chicken, duck, dog, monkey or even giraffe can use it..

maybe u can change ur coffin look dryer to shoe destroyer or place for ur old shoes to be put to the rest?
