Sketch Model Refinement

Changes in my Unnecessary Invention

The unnecessary invention I have come up with is a water bottle walker that allows its user to transport their water bottles with ease and added security. Think of it as walking your dog on a leash, but instead, you’re walking your water bottle. My original idea had an incorporated insulation sleeve on the bottle to maintain its beverage’s temperature. However, to make it more impractical and ridiculous, I decided to omit this feature and add a spring-infused platform for the water bottle instead. With this feature, the water bottle walker would be unusable until its user decides to fill up their water bottle with enough beverage to be able to press down the platform. This would act as a more impractical reminder for users to bring enough water with them at all times.

Materials

• Cardboard

• Glue Gun
• Cutter
• Cutting Board
• Hair tie

Procedure

1. I started by refining the wheels and platform of the walker to make the prototype more stable. 

2. I cut a smaller piece of cardboard to act as a platform for the bottle. I then added springs made of cardboard at the bottom which allows the device to only be usable if your water bottle has enough liquid in it.
