Project Development till Minor 2:

Methodology that we will be follwoing for the project:

1. Laser cutting 1:10 or 1:15 ration units and joining them together.

2.Detail out the window unit.

3.Detailing the window frame

4.Working mechanism of rotating the window

5.Rotation depends upon = indoor vs outdoor temperature

6.Rotation depends upon the amount of sunlight user needs

7.Rotation the series of mullions together.

8.Rotation of individual units.

Prototyping

1. Drafting detail individual components in AutoCad converting drawing into PDF and shifting in CorelDraw.

1a. Window unit - one single unit consists of 4 components where top and bottom holding frame is cut with 3mm MDF with 450 x 450 mm actual width.Also two Vertical components one for glass fixing to permit sunlight and one as a solid blank phase to cut off wind and light. There are 4 such units.

1b. Rack and Pinion system - 4 components where top and bottom holding frame is cut with 3mm MDF with 450 x 450 mm actual width.

1c. Window unit - 4 components where top and bottom holding frame is cut with 3mm MDF with 450 x 450 mm actual width.

2.Laser cutting in Makerspace.

3.Gluing the components together.

4. Adjust the guide of Rack and Pinion which required changes after 1st itiration.

5.Some dimensions revised example pinion support system.

6.Moving the group of 4 window units together manually.

7.Adding survo motor to the systems to automatically control the rotation via arduino programming.
