Type: Future Electronics Prototype
Material: Wood, Acrylic, Plastic, Magnet
Inspired by the advanced technology and the growing picnic culture to design this future product prototype.
rd.MICRO can heat food while 3 microwave modules forming the equilateral triangle in the middle and turn on the button. This microwave can use at home or carry on to the outdoor picnic, which allows users to warm food depending on their own needs.
rd.MICRO has:
Battery storage area
Electricity transmission through magnet points
Solar energy panel
User interface control panel
Synchronous indicator lights
Wave-motion transmits area
Infrared-ray points
Power indicator light
Design Process
rd.MICRO allows the user to adjust the heating area size based on their preference. The infrared-ray system on the left and right side of each module could help users to properly place 3 modules and create the equilateral triangle heating area.
Wave-motion starts from the parallel wave-motion, which can move upward a little bit every second. According to this principle, when the wave goes beyond the height of the target heating food that rd.MICRO will not receive the reflected wave, and then rd.MICRO could auto-stop heat the food.
Microwave Researches from ITRI and National Tsing Hua University:
At present studies, the old microwave oven heat-up needs 3000 watts power consumption. But from the new research, this advanced technology could just use 10 watts to heat the food. Therefore, the product can be supplied by the solar energy system.
