OUR MILLIONAIRE PROJECT: A SHOCKING SOLUTION
By Logan, Poh, Toran, and Tim
The reason we are making this device is that crime rates are extremely high in some areas; for example Oakland and Cleveland. This product is meant to be used as a defense from rapists, assailants, and common muggers. Crime rates are a huge problem, defenseless grandmas, college kids, and people working graveyard shifts are all at risk. We have an idea how to stop it or at least decrease it.
Introducing:The Taser sword
It is the new defense weapon for violent crime. It is a improvement to the ordinary taser. It is a two blade conductive device connected to a non conductive handle. It is cheap to make and even easier to use. It is non-lethal. You may ask why is it so good to have it, well it is a more effective Taser with a longer reach. A normal non-shooting Taser is about 4 inches long but the needles actually used to electrify are at max an inch. Our design makes it so the needles are longer and so you can hit someone with any part of the conductive end and they will get shocked. This Taser gives you a wider range of motion, and is more effective overall.
Materials per unit Price
Taser 15,000,000 to 19,000,000 volts (non-lethal) $10.00
3mm x 3cm steel plate: 3 ½ ft. $5.00
3/4 in steel bolt shaft (threading optional) $.50
nylon bolts (4-6) $.50 per bolt
electrical tape $4.00 it will make about 20 or 30
high-diameter electrical wire 12cm $2.00
Total ~$21.50
Retail Price ~$50.00
Other Material
4,000 sq. foot warehouse $1,800.00 per month
Workers $11.00 per hour
Workers Compensation 1.25% per Pay role for example 100 k a year = 12,500
The amount of units needed ranges but we would start of with are 4-10, we can bring them to the Novato Police department to test. If everything goes well we could produce 1,000 and perfrom beta testing.
Timeline
We estimate that it will take two months if we actually had the capital. It would take about a week to design. It would take at least 3 weeks to get into the where house. Two weeks to hire worker and get them started, and while everything is going on two weeks to get all the orders in.
We would be able to make a proposal to TASER the company to partner with them so that it would be cheaper to make. Also we would have better technology, like having the ability to integrate the Taser into the handle instead of attaching it.
This device could drop crime rates in cities with high crime rates, and may someday even be developed for the military. In Oakland, there are 3,227 assaults, 4,338 robberies, and 271 rapes. This taser could lower those statistics. Police officers need a more effective taser, it being only effective 84% of the 73% of times that it is deployed . Also, some subjects have been known to be still able to fight even when TASERed, something that this version seeks to remedy. THe number deployed will have to depend on how widespread our device becomes.
