Project Description:

The main original statement of this project was ‘create a human powered mixer that can shake a
capsule for 10 seconds.’ This statement is adopted from the joint collaboration of NAU’s Dental
Hygiene (DH) Department and NAU Mechanical Engineering Department (CHHS and CEFNS).
Following the original project description provided by the two departments, the challenge was
given to the students so that they can develop the prototypes for the human powered mixer. The
instruction was that the new decide should be a completely new model and not a reverse
engineered form of the existing model device.
