DESIGN 10<br />

wireless controller<br />

This design idea comes from electronic control systems.<br />

Electronics are a big part of daily life in modern societies, so<br />

how to save on electronics-related power and money is a useful<br />

design question. In this case, an electronic control standard<br />

could organize and link the various electronic products being<br />

used. The control system should be wireless and have a sleep<br />

mode function to help save power. The system can organize<br />

the user’s environment, time, and personal habits to set up a<br />

personalized cost-effective electronic product device.<br />

This kind of new electronic control system will support a<br />

power saving mode for every electronics product. To save more<br />

power means to reduce more pollution.<br />

1 kilowatt-hour needs 400 gram of coal<br />

2500 kilowatt-hours will need 1 pound of coal<br />

DESIGN CONCEPTS<br />

1.4 billion kilowatt-hours will need 5600 pounds of coal<br />

1 pound of coal will bring 3300kg of air pollution<br />

5600 pounds of coal will bring 18480 pounds of air pollution<br />

Reflection<br />

The main problem with this design concept is that there are similar products<br />

already in existence. These products control many different electronics through one<br />

device. While this present design concept is an improvement with regard to power<br />

saving, it is still too similar to other products already on the market.
