- 3. inReach AB Garmin Internship Project: Avalanche Beacon
- 4. Back-country enthusiasts wear them in send mode when out on the slopes. Constantly transmitting radio pings at 457 kHz. If an Avalanche occurs and skiers are trapped under the snow. The remaining party or rescuers switch their Avie Beacons to send mode. Three locating antenna give a direction the signal is coming from the trapped person’s beacon. Then rescuers follows the signal in a circular path and can flag the location if they have to search for more victims How they are used 1. 3. 4. 2. You wear them like this Avie Beacons help rescuers find buried skiers after an avalanche. Isaac Drickhamer 4

- 7. Form and Interaction Exploration *not all my sketches (most are) The AB Must have a transition between search and send, a Screen for directions once in search mode, and fit in pocket or holster while hosing an antenna and a lithium battery for inReach. Requirements: Early Forms Isaac Drickhamer 7

- 10. A B c ed Chamfered form Latch locks into Holster Front 1/3s Color Break Slider to switch modes Bold cylindrical antenna Color Break on batter door Isaac Drickhamer 10
- 11. Rough Model Development The latch on the back would lock into a holster then the whole unit could be unlocked and pulled out in one motion. However, the ruggedness of the details and form didn’t follow wintersport aesthetic as well as option A. Rough Model Development A Early development of sketches into 3D to figure out proportions, Antenna Size, and parting lines. The result, A-5, still needed development, but the bold look and functional feel of the antenna was different and gives the form a softness. B B-5 A-5 Chosen Direction Isaac Drickhamer 11

- 17. What Materials Could Help Emit Less? Around 38 percent of global energy related emissions come from building and construction. Traditional construction methods require massive amounts of energy and is nearly completely relient on fossil fuels. We have been able to lower our emissions every year. But, not at a fast enough rate. Construction Emits a Lot of Carbon. Isaac Drickhamer 17
- 18. Responsibly sourced timber has the potential to replace steel and concrete in skyscraper con- struction. 2.Cross laminate timber 3. Grass absorbs co2 while the concrete absorbs nitrogen or sulfur ions to be washed away as inert salts with rain. Pollution eating materials After researching many materials, I chose to promote three common materials used in new energy and emission saving ways. 1.3D Printed Concrete Large format 3D printers can print houses out of concrete in a matter of hours at a fraction of the cost and waste of traditional homes. Promoted Materials: Isaac Drickhamer 18
- 19. Early Concepts 3 Separate Benches Pollution Absorbing Concrete Cross Laminate Timber Early Model Explorations The problem with making three seperate benches, each showcasing unique materials, is that the three feel disjointed Instead, I decided to unify the three materials into one bench to simplify the design language of the project. 3D Printed Concrete Isaac Drickhamer 19
- 20. Plants More refined models explore layouts and test exposing of 3D printed infill. The interaction of the Wood intersecting the simple concrete forms was liked. Refinement Single Bench Direction Slightly Refined Models Isaac Drickhamer 20

- 24. The panel includes information about the significance of the materials and processes The whole bench could be printed in a matter of hours Isaac Drickhamer 24
- 26. Camping Fire Extinguisher Camping + Outdoor Specific Fire Extinguisher
- 27. But, how can Campers protect themselves from the costs of accidentally starting one? California Forest fires are getting worse. Climate Change can’t be stopped by a product.2017 was the worst year ever recorded. With of 9,000 fires and 50 deaths costing $18 billion. Then, 2018 was even more deadly, killing 100. The costs of setting a fire off will be in the millions for damages and fines. Isaac Drickhamer 27
- 28. Current ModelWhat is Kidde? Kidde is the leading Fire Extinguisher and Smoke detector company in America. What makes them unique? Nothing. They lack a solid branding and design language. Leading to a variety of undesigned products. Graphics are Overwhelming Poor Ergonomics Obtuse Design Large Profile Pressure Dial Too Small Aiming is Difficult Kidde Branding is Poor Problems: Isaac Drickhamer 28
- 29. Intuitive Easily used compared to current designs Small and Portable It needs to fit into or hang on a backpack Outdoor Specific Specific for the outdoors and camping scenarios What Campers Need in a Fire Extinguisher Aerosol Fire Extinguishers Offer much slimmer profile then traditional F.E.’s At the cost of spray distance Isaac Drickhamer 29
- 30. Early Stuff Mechanical and Form Dev. Developing how the F.E. would strap onto a backpack while still easy to grab and use. I ended up with a strap system that allows you to pull the outer sleeve to unlock it while branches and being tossed around can’t open it or accidentally pop it off. Refillable With Bike Pump Sheath Locks Strap Closed Pull to open Only a Firm Pull Will open it Locks in open and Primed Flashlight-esq Isaac Drickhamer 30
- 31. Proportion + Grip Studies I tested multiple forms and mechanisms to see how they fit in the hand. Settling on a cylinder, I tested various grip positions then to see how they certain shapes gave a “front” and “back” to a simple form. Isaac Drickhamer 31
- 32. Refinement Grip and Detail Dev. Refining grip shape and lock mechanism. Here I started to develop what the Kidde VBL would be. looking at how the logo is placed, surface Details and color breaks to be used throughout Kidde products. Developing a grip that gives a Front and Back Final grip direction has a clear back side Figuring out Strap Mechanism Chamfered Details Isaac Drickhamer 32
- 34. 2. F.E. easily attaches to any backpack Story Board Stays on no matter what when hiking 1. 3. On your person when you spot a fire 4. Pull firmly to unhook strap in one motion 6. Spray Like a Normal Fire Extinguisher Isaac Drickhamer 35
- 35. Springs secure the outer sheath in the up position When gripped firmly and pulled, the sheath releases the strap Then the fire extinguisher stays open in the primed position 1. 2. 3. Pull firmly to Unhook but impossible to get pulled off accidentally Isaac Drickhamer 34
- 36. Clear Use Rigid and Simple New Kidde Logo All touch-points have texture for tactical feadback. Color indicates touch points. A new simple “KIDDE” logo is molded into surfaces. Chamfers give rigidity to the product while maintaining simplicity. New Kidde VBL Isaac Drickhamer 36
