This product is a device that can measure the ripeness of watermelon fruit. Traditionally people will sort the
matured fruit by squeezing, shaking, knocking, touching, smelling and observing the fruits skins and textures. The
main objective is to replace the traditional method by using a simple and portable device to measure the ripeness
of watermelon fruit. It incorporates the technological concept of pendulum that could trigger the resonance and
translate to determine the ripeness of the fruit.
