# Design (Phase 2)
[TOC]

## Brainstorming

### Modularity
- Pinterest Board *Modular* from János: https://pin.it/ipaGgOBUg
- **4p** (4 motors/cyclones in parallel) DIY dust extraction
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KWIB_UZQ9Y

### "Ribbed/Crocodile" Corpus
- Have a "sliced" corpus with segments
- Easy extensibility in one dimension
- Segments can be 3D printed.

*AI images, crocodile look rather unintentional*

*Croc duffle bags*

### Stacked ribs/segments (cf. "drum" corpus)
- Think for example cascaded fan casings
- Easily extensible in one dimension
- Easy to a segment at one end or in the middle
- Generic segment(s) and special-case variants
- Generic middle segment
- End-cap segment


### "Drum" Corpus

#### Inspiration: Zeppelin Silos (huge)
- https://www.zeppelin-systems.com/de/en/products/storage-and-delivery/silo-designs/
- flanges are bolted together
- good for shipping


### Scaffolding Corpus
- 2-1/2-D parts (lasercut) that stick together or click to obtain a 3D form
- e.g. 3D-Puzzles (Rolife, Rokr) https://support.magicholz.de/hc/de/articles/27298660095377-Wer-ist-Robotime-Rokr-und-Rolife

*Rolife Toy Airship TG407*

### "Fractal" Corpus
- https://www.n55.dk/MANUALS/SPACEFRAME/spaceframe.html
- "The equal-length struts are bent in 70° angles for tetrahedra and 110° angles for octahedra. [...] Two tetrahedra and one octahedron make the basic building "brick", with which one can build walls, foundation and roof."

*Spaceframe (based on only 2 kinds of profiles)*

### "Vacuum in a Box"
- Configurations
1. Single strap, slung over shoulder
2. Two straps, or put in a backpack
3. Put on wheels
- Makes a nice slogan, but "X in a box" is commonly used in marketing.
- 
*Google search-in-a-box*

#### Festo as Inspiration
- Festool Akku Absaugmobil CLEANTEC CTMC SYS I-Basic 576933 Systainerformat Sauger https://www.kirchner24.de/festool-akku-absaugmobil-cleantec-ctmc-sys-i-basic-576933-systainerformat-sauger_50558_16629/
- Systainer size: M, 396x296x?
- 36V, 18kPa, 9kg

*Single strap*

*Einhell TE-VC 18/10 Li: Similar, but less boxy, with bag. [Amazon](https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07V5J4QBG/)*

*Vorwerk VK7 with shoulder strap (handle can be swiveled!)*


*Add-On: On wheels. Right: kids' toy.*

#### Box

##### Systainer (various compatible brands)
- M, S, etc
- https://shop.systainer.com/de/systainer/

##### Generic sturdy plastic box
- Use norm size (Eurobox) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_container

##### Designer box
- Studio About https://studio-about.com/de-de/products/box-small-red
- 2 sizes only

*Boxes from Studio About.*

##### Auer (alternative to Systainer)
- https://www.auer-packaging.com/gb/en/Tool-boxes-Pro.html

*Optional: with lock.*

## Design Theses

:::info
A thesis is a proposition that is maintained by argument.
:::

### Thesis 1: Define OSH-Look as cool, desirable, sexy, modern, etc.
- (Not exactly sure what OSH-Look is :smirk:.)

#### Example: FHB work clothing
- old image: working clothes for "sweaty men with belly and little self-esteem" (exaggerated statement)
- new image: sexy/hipster/pride-of-work(wo)manship
- 

#### OSH Vacuum
- "My granny thinks OSH is cool"



### Thesis 2: OSH-Design is a chance to stick out
- Contemporary designs are interchangeable. A OSH-Look can stick out and is more memorable, creating a kind of "brand look"
- Cars look pretty much the same
https://windingroad.com/articles/features/why-do-all-new-cars-look-the-same/
- All household irons look the same
- Why do they all have a tip? Still needed?
-
