Sketch:
Name:
Data Carrier.
Designed by:
Luca Marini
Date:
17/03/26
Components / Materials:
Rubber tube (20cm), back luggage holder for bikes, a round-cut piece of wood, plastic connectors.
Necessary Tools:
Drill, connectors, needles, nails, hammer, iron wire, saw, glue, drill.
Estimated Time:
2 hours.
Imagined Context:
A node to create mobile sharing points. This node functions more as a virtual space to exchange data and material.
Intention:
An object to virtually store data and spread it around as the vehicle moves in the space, with possible server integration to store data.
Process:
One piece of rubber tube, back luggage holder for bikes, a round-cut piece of wood. All of the above are glued together and secured with nails and plastic connectors.
Problems Encountered:
Difficult to ensure stability.
Design Updates:
Updated 08/06/26 by Luca Marini. The structure was reinforced by using hooks and metal connectors, replacing the previous plastic ones. The internal structure was implemented with a metal grid to ensure an easier assembly. The structure was also spray painted in black to improve the overall appearance.
Technical Specifications:
Routing device: "Tp-Link TL-WR802N N300". Powered by a DIY USB power bank (1000mA output) with a Murata 18650 Li-ion cell (US18650VTC6, 3120 mAh, 30A).
Battery Life:
4-5 hours
