- Designed a hay re-packager that's weather-proof, pneumatically powered, and mobile.- Led bi-weekly meetings- Provided progress reports to sponsors and supervisor- Contacted local sponsorsClient requires a device that can separate a 60 lbs. hay bale into 5 lbs. bundles that can be packaged into boxes. By packaging the hay into individual boxes, it can then be sold at a much higher price per lbs. than if it were to be sold in the original 60 lbs. form. In addition, individually packaged hay can be easily shipped and sold at stock shows, online through Amazon, or other sources. The device must be pneumatically powered and able to function with only one operator in either an outdoor environment or shop floor. The device may contain no electrical or hydraulic components in order to mitigate the risk of burning or contaminating the final product. In addition, it was requested that the packager to be portable by either an individual moving it or by being easily loaded onto any form of transportation.
