Design, Component Identification, Testing and Manufacturability for Low-Cost Electric Air Horn

Camosun学院高兴地宣布，Camosun Innovates将首次与 WoodsCan Industries Inc.是一家总部位于维多利亚州的公司，生产电池供电的电动空气喇叭。 WoodsCan Industries拥有他们技术的专利，并将其大黄蜂品牌空气喇叭主要出售给 北美钻探和爆破行业。在自然科学和工程学的支持下 研究委员会(NSERC)的一项Engage Grant，WoodsCan Industries将更好地扩大其 产品线，并通过瞄准其他市场的空气喇叭产品来发展公司，包括运动和 休闲游艇产业。 该项目将专注于低成本空气喇叭的设计、测试和制造准备， 将满足运动和休闲划船用户的需求。喇叭及其电池系统将消除 使用目前排放到大气中的有害氢氟碳化合物，并减少固体废物的数量 与传统的一次性罐式空气喇叭相关联，意味着总的碳足迹要少得多。 该项目将涉及卡莫森学院的学生，他们将获得宝贵的现实生活技能和专业知识 同时致力于新的创新技术的开发。

Camosun College is pleased to announce that Camosun Innovates will be partnering for the first time with WoodsCan Industries Inc., a Victoria-based company that produces battery-powered electric air horns. WoodsCan Industries holds patents on their technology, and sells its Hornet brand air horns primarily to the North American drilling and blasting industry. With support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) on an Engage Grant, WoodsCan Industries will be better positioned to expand its product line and grow its company with products targeting other markets for air horns including the sport and recreational boating industries. The project will focus on the design, testing, and preparation for manufacturing, for a low-cost air horn that will meet the needs of sport and recreational boating users. The horn, with its battery system, will eliminate the use of harmful HFCs currently being discharged into the atmosphere and also reduce the amount of solid waste associated with traditional disposable canister-style air horns, meaning the total carbon footprint is much less. The project will involve students from Camosun College who will gain valuable real life skills and expertise while working on the development of new innovative technology.
