Projection Platform Orientation for Wind-Compensated Fallout Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional pyrotechnic, water, and flame retardant chemical projection systems are vulnerable to environmental changes such as wind speed and direction, temperature, and humidity, leading to unpredictable fallout areas and compromised artistic intent.
Innovation Solution
A system that actively monitors environmental parameters and dynamically adjusts the orientation of a physical projection platform by adjusting its elevation, polar angle, or azimuthal angle to compensate for environmental effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional fireworks mortars or Air Launch Fireworks technology are used, then fireworks can be launched, but the trajectory cannot be controlled and wind drift occurs causing fallout to drift into unplanned areas
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts the orientation of the projection platform (fireworks mortar) in real-time based on environmental parameters. The platform can change its elevation, polar angle, and azimuthal angle during operation to compensate for wind drift and maintain precise trajectory control, transforming a static launch system into a dynamic one that actively responds to environmental conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system continuously monitors environmental parameters (wind speed, temperature, humidity) and uses this feedback to automatically adjust the platform orientation. This closed-loop control system compares the actual environmental conditions with the desired trajectory parameters and makes real-time corrections to counteract wind drift and ensure fallout lands in the planned area.
2Manufacturing precision
If environmental parameters are not monitored, then the system is simpler to operate, but the artistic intent is compromised and fallout areas become unpredictable
Solution Approach 1:
Environmental sensors continuously monitor wind speed, temperature, and humidity, providing real-time feedback to the control system. This data is processed to calculate the necessary platform orientation adjustments, enabling precise fallout area control through automated feedback-driven adaptation to environmental conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-adjustment by automatically monitoring environmental parameters and correcting its own orientation without requiring manual intervention. The integrated sensor and control system enables the platform to autonomously compensate for environmental effects, maintaining precision while reducing operational complexity.
3Reliability
If the projection platform orientation is fixed, then the device is simpler and easier to operate, but it cannot compensate for environmental changes affecting trajectory
Solution Approach 1:
The projection platform is equipped with dynamic orientation capabilities, allowing it to adjust its elevation, polar angle, and azimuthal angle in real-time. This transforms a static, fixed-orientation system into a dynamic one that can actively compensate for environmental changes, maintaining trajectory accuracy while the automated control handles the operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical adjustment with automated electronic control. Environmental sensors and control algorithms substitute for manual aiming and adjustment mechanisms, allowing the platform to automatically orient itself for precise trajectory control without requiring complex manual operations.

AI summary
A system for providing a physical projection routine includes a hardware processor, a system memory storing a software code, and a projection platform. The hardware processor is configured to execute the software code to measure an environmental parameter of a venue, determine, based on the environmental parameter, a desired orientation of the projection platform for executing the physical projection routine, and orient the projection platform according to the desired orientation determined based on the environmental parameter. The hardware processor and software code then execute the physical projection routine by the projection platform oriented using the desired orientation determined based on the environmental parameter.
