  1. Kodak PowerFlash Single Use Camera Redesign Team #4 Christopher Pedley Angel Marrero Joshua Hill Timothy Borysowski Engineering Design 100 October 1, 2008

  2. Overview • Goals for the Project • Our Design Process • Brainstorming • Analysis • Models • Conclusions

  3. Project Goals • Redesign of Kodak PowerFlash Single Use Camera • Increase Revenue for Kodak • Reduce E-waste Created by Kodak PowerFlash • Create a More Economically and Environmentally Sustainable Product

  4. What is E-Waste? • Waste from old and/or used electronics • Frequently contains harmful chemicals and radiation • Going “Green” is a growing market trend http://www.cwru.edu/med/epidbio/mphp439/Global_Impact_of_Lead_Poisoning.htm http://www.arcatarecycling.org/

  5. Our Approach • We studied the exterior and interior design of the current model of the PowerFlash • We brainstormed for ideas to fulfill our project goals • We put each idea through our process of analysis • We decided upon our final redesign for the product

  6. Current PowerFlash Design Exterior Front Shutter Button Flash Bulb Viewfinder Flash Power Button Lens Figure 1

  7. Exterior Back Shutter Button Viewfinder Film Winder Flash Ready Light Figure 2

  8. Interior Front Shutter Button Viewfinder Flash Bulb Film Roll Casing Spring-loaded Shutter Mechanism – Also Triggers Flash Flash Power Button Lens Capacitor Figure 3

  9. Interior Back Film Winder AA (1.5V) Battery Shutter Button Viewfinder Spool for Feeding Unexposed Film Exposed Film Roll Figure 4

  10. Kodak’s Current Recycling System • At least 77% of each PowerFlash camera is recycled • Kodak does not participate in reloading due to the potential product defects that can arise • Reloading: Purchase, reload, and reuse of used camera bodies Information from www.kodak.com

  11. Battery • AA Battery good for approximately 80 flashes = 2850 mA•h = 1150 mA•h • AAA batteries will last about 40% as long as AA batteries • AAA batteries would be more than enough for 27 flashes from the camera Information from www.duracell.com

  12. Survey * *Survey of Penn State Students and Faculty

  13. Design Matrix Table 1

  14. Weighted Design Matrix Table 2

  15. Final Product Decision • We determined it was best to incorporate several of our design concepts • Diagonal Trigger • Film/Battery Reload • AAA Battery • Move Battery to decrease camera size

  16. Prototype Front Figure 5

  17. Back Figure 6

  18. Back Open Film Spool with Battery Figure 7

  19. Notes and Conclusion • More comfortable diagonal trigger should be advertised on packaging • Reloading process must undergo same quality standards as Kodak’s current recycling process New design will be cheaper to produce, more environmentally friendly, and more appealing to the consumer
