Rise
MIT Undergraduate Student - August to December 2019
I worked in a group of 18 students in the class, Product Engineering Processes, to design Rise. Rise aims to eliminate barriers to oven use due to limited strength and mobility. This product is integrated into an oven design and would be liscensed to a manufacturing company.
A motor drives a tensioned cable system to slide the rack holder out horizontally and then lift it by rotating upward. Using a speed controller, the system can maintain a constant lifting speed. Rise has a maximum load of 20 pounds which is about the weight of an average turkey.
