Air Pressure and Magnets Automated

Stirring Mug & Relief Designing

Problem statement:
Give some idea for an innovative product and the engineering design
In these days, there are always new and innovative products being invented and their
capability of being automated makes them sit at the forefront of the development of human
living. The Self-Stirring Mug for instance, gives consumers the idea that one of lifes
everyday objects can further be simplified by eliminating other tools for its usage; in this
case: the teaspoon.
Basic concepts in the this design involve a deliverance of air pressure to rotate the turbine
which houses magnets that attract other magnets attached to the stirrer within the cup
interior. Experimental setup was based mainly on the angle of air deliverance and the
location and distance of the magnets from each other.
By taking this concept of a spoon-less mixing experience, a new idea arises.n
The design of this air and magnet automated mug is fairly simple and its shape is not far
from the already familiar mug design. It is designed to be comfortable as well as efficient to
the consumer. The main embodiment of
the product will be plastic so as to further reduce production costs.
Taking a common object such as a mug and adding extra features to it make it
extraordinary is a statement that humans are forever innovating things around them.
People like to own things that make their lives easier or as a means of making a
statement. They like to be unique. This is true not only for their electronic devices but also
their living appliances. Proof comes with so many cooking utensils being invented that
have made their way to domestic kitchens, slowly giving a tool for just about every food
item that can be found commonly in one.
An automated mug is no exception to the growing number of kitchen items that have been
modified to benefit those who will use it most. it could replace every workers average
mug in an office; completely eliminating the need to purchase swizzlers, teaspoons and
the rest within that sort.
The main part of the design that required much consideration was the handle. Simple as it
may be, it needed to provide a comfortable grasp to the user while at the same time be the
medium of air pressure deliverance to the turbine. Another thing to consider was the
placement of the manual button which the user will press to deliver the air.

The mug body is typically the design assigned to hold the fluid content. The
intake housing refers to the handle which has been designed to also house the switch
which will be later attached.
There is also a small exhaust hole at the bottom to maintain pressure equilibrium in the
product
The turbine is also the magnet housing. Two cavities for the magnets are located slightly
towards the centre where, during instalment, they will be aligned to the other magnets
located within the stirrer. The turbine consists of a dozen blades and two bearings will also
be installed. Material is also plastic and it is very light weight. It does not require much
force for it to start rotating.
The stirrer will be installed within the mug in contact with the fluid to be mixed.
It will house magnets completely sealed within the two enclosed sections located inside
the ring. Magnets will automatically align to their opposites
located on the turbine.
Switch/Button to be slipped into the cavity at the handle and will be employed
by the user to pump in the required air for the product to operate.
Compression Springs are needed to be attached between the inlet wall
and the switch.
Bearings are needed for the turbine and stirrer
There will be a rubber seal placed in between the Mug Body part and the Base part to seal
off any loss of air.
The magnets and air pressure stirred mug is hoped to replace the average coffee mug and
spoon within working areas or elsewhere where drinking hot beverages or mixed drinking
is a common practice. The design is very practical and since it does not rely on batteries of
any sort, can be a great economic and environmental investment.the same concept can be
used with a jug or any other container for that matter which requires mixing to occur
