Brainstorm Session: What Are We Thinking?

During an intense brainstorming session at Lydon Library, our team was thinking up possibilities for crushing mechanisms. Which one is best? Which ones are we even capable of pulling off? Are they even plausible? Just something to think about! Let us know if there is something we are missing!

The EcoCrush Team thanks you!

Inspiration and Information

Attached is a link that provided some useful insight into the design and use of the can crusher that we are making. It really puts things into perspective as to how complex the design can get. Maybe a device can be used to compromise the integrity of the can before crushing it, so you don't need such a large force to crush it.

Statement: A device that will be on top of a recycling container in order to allow different items to be minimized in volume so more material can fit into the recycling container and be processed.
