Hello,
We have met up again, to further discyss the making of our prototype. We have agreed that the prototype would look rather awkward as it would be very bulky. We have gone around one of our team member's block to get some feedback from the people living there, and they too, like us, thought that the mirror would look extremely bulky, especially on a car. Hence, we have decided tomodify the design to make it more simple, less complex, and equally efficient. We have thought of modifying the side of the mirror instead of the top so it would make it less unsightly, however, it was a failed idea, as when we took a closer look at the side of the mirror near to the car window, we found out that there was a serious lack of space, and if the mirror were to be modified there, the mirror would be unable to close.
Due to this problem, we have decided to forgo the idea of using a fan and small pipes to direct the air to the mirror, as that would need a lot of space and money to maintain. We instead, decided to deflect the air blown towards the mirror and redirect it to the mirror itself. Not only does it lessen the space needed to modify the mirror, it is also as efficient.
Even after that, the space beside the side mirror is still too small, and hence, we gave up on modifying the mirror there, instead modifying the top of the mirror. Since it is not as bulky now, it is not as unsightly as well.
Pictures of our prototype would be posted soon.
