SE2: TS Soft Serve Attachment: Formal Progress Presentation

Soft Serve Attachment

The goal of our project is to evenly and thoroughly apply an external (dry) fluid to an independently operating system to ensure maximum operating efficiency. The chemical Molybdenum Disulfide, a dry lubricant, will be applied to a two-stroke engine while the engine is still operating, ensuring the shaft of the engine is evenly and thoroughly lubricated to increase operating efficiency. Two-stroke engines are found in outboard motors, which can be found on small water craft, including vessels which would be operating in marine environments.

Team- to design and model an attachable apparatus to a soft serve ice cream machine to coat the ice cream in sprinkles as the stream leaves the apparatus.

Personal- to design and model a working electrical system that will cause vibrations throughout the apparatus that allow the sprinkles to penetrate the stream of ice cream.

Specifications:
Be compatible with a standard soft serve ice cream machine
Be detachable
Have a re-sealable bottom to prevent unintended release of sprinkles
Must provide 360 degrees of contact with ice cream
Have a slanted bottom for rolling sprinkles out of attachment
Must utilize vibrations to increase sprinkle flow
Must not be engaged until ice cream pours
Doors must close with the stopping of the lever

Limitations
Cost under 100 dollars to manufacture
Fit in the confined space provided
Resistant to the cold
Needs to be made of clear material
Be dish washer safe
Be constructed by tools in the System Lab
Be tested with Day's Ice Cream's soft serve machine
