Project details
Description
The diesel-powered hammer mill for corn processing is a robust and portable machine, powered by a reliable diesel engine, designed through reverse engineering from a home video. It features a simple yet effective design with a metal frame, hammers, and a screen for grinding corn. Easy to operate and maintain, it uses readily available materials and parts, making it cost-effective. The reverse engineering process exemplifies human ingenuity and problem-solving skills, creating a practical agricultural tool for rural communities.
Project development: Reverse engineering without adviser (B1, P1)

Technical documentation
Reverse engineering of the corn mill
A home video was used to design the corn mill using reverse engineering through perspective correction by photo match. This involved analyzing the video footage and extracting measurements and dimensions to create a 3D model of the corn mill. The video provided a unique perspective of the corn mill and allowed for an accurate design to be created.
The reverse engineering process involved analyzing the perspective of the video and correcting any distortions caused by the camera angle. The resulting corn mill design can be efficient and cost-effective, with sturdy construction and customizable features.
Assembly instructions
Here are some plans with the assembly sets and pieces.
