Eco-Friendly Flashlight Project: Design, Production, Presentation

This project presentation outlines the design and production of an ecological flashlight using recycled materials, specifically plastic bottles. The presentation identifies the problem of non-ecologically friendly flashlights currently available in the market, which are often costly and made from difficult-to-recycle plastics. The proposed solution involves creating a new flashlight from scrap materials, making it both cost-effective and environmentally sustainable. The presentation details the project planning process, including identifying the problem and solution, checking project feasibility, and creating initial drawings. It also lists the necessary components, such as a plastic water bottle, scissors, craft knife, hot glue gun, popsicle sticks, wires, cells, and an LED light. The production steps are explained, including cutting the bottle, attaching LEDs, inserting a switch, and connecting the wires and batteries. The final product is a functional flashlight made from recycled materials, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional flashlights. Desklib offers a variety of similar solved assignments and project ideas for students.

Project Presentation Notes
Slide 2
Introduction
Ecological acceptable products are “products that are harmless to the environment whether in
their manufacture, usage or dumping”.
In other words, these merchandises help preserve the surroundings by suggestively decreasing
contamination they could have produced.
Ecologically friendly products can be prepared from scratch, or from reused materials.
Slide 3
Problem Identification
To initiate any task first of all it is indispensable to categorize the complications and then a
solution to the problem is established.
In this case the delinquent is that flash light in marketplace are not ecologically acceptable as
they are produced from plastics that are difficult to produce and reuse
They are also costly and require a lot of manufacturing labor
For that reason, it is crucial to come up with new designs for such merchandises

Slide 4
Project planning
Figure 1: Project management steps
The task scope is subject to time, budget and quality.
Time refers to the lifespan of the product,
and cost refers to its price tag to customers
and quality means how good it is and what dependability it delivers to customers.
Planning:
Identify the problem: the main delinquent is that most of flash lights accessible in the
marketplace are very costly and they are also not ecologically acceptable.
Identify the solution: There is a strong requirement to create new flash light from scrap with
the goal that it is cost-effective and ecologically acceptable.

Checking the project feasibility: To determine whether this task can be executed or not. In
some tasks there are hitches that are rarely solved in time and occasionally the modules are not
straightforwardly accessible.
Slide 5
Initial drawings
Initial drawings are required to get an indication and then final sketches are prepared
depending on preliminary idea

Slide 6 and 7
Components needed
The below tools and materials would be vital to accomplish this task.
 A plastic water bottle
 A pair of scissors
 A craft knife
 A metal hacksaw
 A hot glue gun
 A handful of Popsicle sticks
 Pliers
 2 feet of 22 gauge wire
 2 Cells
 LED light
 A big cap

Slide 8, 9 and 10
Components needed
The production part is modest and steps are shown here
The empty plastic bottle is cut from the head portion. The cap is detached and 4 holes are
made by means of hot object and LEDs were fixed in it.
LED’s were fixed so that the negatives are in the direction of middle, twist them and apply some
hot glue and twist the positive ends.
For insertion of a switch a hole is prepared using nail and scissor to fit the switch in hole.
The wires of led are connected and switch and batteries and then pass the switch wires through
the hole of switch and the solder the wires to switch.
Finally all the stuff was arranged inside the bottle and stick housing and the plaster was applied
to the switch using glue and fix it.
