Portable Dynamo Puncture Machine

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

There are a lot of technological innovations nowadays that pave the way for a comfortable life among Filipinos. It has been perceived that different domestic, office, school, and field works are easy to accomplish through different portable tools. The K to 12 Program has started its plight to ensure that students will develop skills not just for them to learn but to learn to develop something better and new. With this in mind, the researcher intended to devise a portable dynamo piercing machine that is made from different light household materials.

METHODS

As a sort of project development study, the researcher gathered primary and secondary data from different authoritative sources and conducted interviews and observations in order to come up with a simple machine that can operate to perform basic tasks. Light materials such as lighter, copper wire, DC motor, battery, needle, shoe glue, plastic and ball pen were gathered. A simple sketch was made through the help of some teacher-practitioners. The machine was developed, tried, tested and accepted by three practitioners related to the field of (TVL) Technical-Vocational Technology as it was able to perform basic functions.

RESULTS

Through a simple project development study, a portable dynamo piercing machine was developed. Initially, the researcher taught that it could just be a simple paper or board opener. But, through careful analysis and innovation of the constructed output, it was found out that it could serve different functions. At home, it can be a simple can diffuser/opener or unclogging tool. In offices and schools, it can be useful in opening boxed packages, and binding papers. For some artists, it could be ear piercing and tattoo machine.

DISCUSSIONS

The portable dynamo piercing machine can serve different functions not only at home but also in school, offices and for the purpose of art. It does not only serve one purpose but a lot more. Though these benefits are determined, this simple machine has also some sort of limitations as they cannot be used in other materials other than paper, plastic, styro pore, cloth, and a tin can.
