Disaster Radio Enclosure v2

The Challenge

We need a new design for the disaster radio enclosure. The main components that it needs to house/support are:

  • a solar panel
  • a PCB
  • a battery
  • an antenna

There is a nice video of the v0 enclosure on this page. Unfortunately, it had some problems:

  • problem 1
  • problem 2

We need two new designs:

  1. one that can be produced in small quantities

  2. one that can be mass-produced

Budget

The project is mostly a labor of love, organized by volunteers, but we do have some budget. So far we've been paying two of our volunteers $35/hr to work on the firmware and PCB (i.e. well-below market rate).
