The Transmosis Pot is inspired by the way plants absorb water through
methods of transpiration and osmosis. The Wick like system used on the cones
of the plate act as a water absorption tool. The material absorbs water from
the water provided in the plate, it travels up the material touching the same
material which is installed on the little pots. The purpose for the pots is to
grow herbs such as thyme and oregano, as they do not need as much sunlight
as other plants to develop properly. This also enables for the product to be
present in the kitchen. As the herbs grow the user has direct access to the
fresh herb ingredients creating convenience for any special occasion. The self-
watering system is used as in urban low density property’s people are usually
on the go and working long hours so they do not have time to stop and water
their plants, and they would also feel tired from work so doing this constantly
would be an inconvenience.
The Transmosis Pot makes everything easier for the user as it has a role of
independence when watering. When water is low it is highly visible that
such a situation has occurred therefore forcing the user to refill the plate
but in comparison to usual watering times it is cut by at least 80%. The plate
holds up to 300 ml which is enough for these herbs to grow properly and the
consistently and water has to be replaced every 3-4 days.
The Transmosis has 3 pots but can possibly have 5, that really depends on the
need of the user and the versatility in the placement of the plate is essential to
adapt to different urban dwellings.
I like the idea of self watering plant system, your design reminds me of peas in a pod, very cute. I think the pots look too shallow perhaps deeper pots.
ReplyDeletehahahahah looks like a boat however i find it innovative how its self watering and it sits on windowsills. maybe make the pots a bit bigger cause it does look a bit small.
ReplyDeleteI really like the smooth modern look to this design, and how it can be put everywhere, like you said in the kitchen, makes it very convenient and useful, the only thing i can see that needs more work is the biometric aspect, but all that aside, in total, a very good product
ReplyDeleteI think you have a really good idea and it looks really appropriate. I think the base could have a better shape though. But i really like the smooth and modern look.
ReplyDeleteyour cad drawings are heaps clear and illustrate the cross sectional views nicely. i also think its cool how the tray that the pots sit in bows and holds the water, although i might have changed the design to look less like a boat and maybe more like a bit of a palm tree or something
