A project log for EcoSift

eco-friendly bucket that teaches kids to clean beaches by sifting out microplastics

I was looking over the design of the project and came across a potential issue. The current plan uses gears and a hand crank to rotate the inner sift. However, I’m concerned that sand or debris might get caught in the gears, causing them to jam or become damaged. I also worry about the effects that it could have on the efficiency of the product if left unresolved.

I hope to find a solution as I can't move forward with prototyping until the design is resolved. I’m exploring alternative solutions and would greatly appreciate any input or ideas you might have. Your help is crucial as we work to refine and improve the design. Please reach out if you have suggestions or can offer assistance!

Thank you!
