Festival Air Pump Development

As a group, we were asked to evaluate a students project from the previous term and develop it accordingly to obtain a better product. We had to do this in the style of an existing manufacturer of out door products. The manufacturer style for this particular product being Snow Peak. The product for development was a lithium battery operated pump. For use at festivals, camping ext. As a result of this the product had to be as compact as possible without compromising size for power.
