Design, Development And Testing Of A Multifunctional Jar And Bottle Opener

Abstract

Many fields in Engineering Technology today are focused on encouraging and motivating students to implement their educational concepts in the real world to fight with the increasing demands of new technology in the global market. This paper explores how a project interwoven through the Engineering Technology curriculum can be used to create a product to be sold in the today’s market to do basic household jobs and make them easier. The main focus of the bottle opener product existing in the market is that they are used on specific type of bottles and if to be used for different needs different product and will reduce the feasibility and portability as a greater number of products will be used to carry out these operations. Therefore, to eliminate this problem the objective of the project is to develop a multifunction bottle opener which can be used to deal with all the types of bottles available in the market. This product will work on the basic principles of mechanism like rack and pinion mechanism, cork plug and stress bending. Many researchers compared the shapes and mechanism in their work. Though there are similar work, but in the present work casts a unique design and has a functionality difference which makes this project exclusive from other projects. The optimized form of a common product that is a multi-functional bottle and jar opener is obtained from this project which can be used to open different styles of cap of different bottles.
