Briefing

Hexagon formulas


Budget

Main Variables

  • #bottle_nr = Number of bottles. 200?
  • #pillar_nr = Number of Pillars. 3

Items

  • Water cooler bottles = €2 (??)
  • Lights (2*#bottle_nr) = €10
  • Electronics + per_bottle_cabling = €5
    • PSU = #bottle_nr / 50 * €40
  • Rent of scaffolding for the exhibition: ???

Walking route: assume 400 bottles, total budget 12,500 Water route: assume 900 bottles, total budget 25,000

Work estimate

  • One off
    • software: 40H ?
    • Electrical design
  • Construction of lattice?
    • 80H ?
  • Time per bottle (at scale)
    • PCB: (10/60)h
    • Cabling (5/60)h
    • fitting (5/60)h

Work activities

Construction of

  • Grid of bottles
    • The lattice.
    • Adhering the bottles to the lattice.
  • The pillars
    • Light sensors
    • Charge lights
    • Connection to the gird
  • Electronics
    • Solution design
    • Getting the lights + electronics in the bottles?
    • Wiring it all up.

Brainstorms, dumps and questions

  • Getting things water resistant is going to be an issue.
    • What connectors between bottles are we going to use?
  • Who knows about these kind of constructions?
    • Use scaffolding beams for the main construction?
  • How much light (in watts) in a single bottle is needed?
  • Coat the body of the bottle in semi-translucent white/light-gray.
  • The pillar is just a bottle that the user can set the intensity to. It simply has neighbor bottles.
  • Grid Light control
    • Centralized and Distribute signal
    • Every bottle individually + signaling of light of neighbors and reaction to that (= conceptually nicest, closest to reality, updating needs attention)
    • Per small group of bottles.

Power

  • PSU of 500W is €40. If we average 10W max per bottle (we don't do 100% on all bottles at the same time) then 50 bottles per PSU.

Bring to the meeting

  • At least one Water cooler bottle with lights installed
