The ‘rotator’ is a circular shower cubical that occupies around 1.11sq.m. in a bathroom space. As one
tries to enter the shower there is a horizontal metal handle which open’s the glass door of the rotator.
The handle is also used to hang the towel or clothing items. The shower is entirely made of glass, fibre glass, ceramic and steel. The internal base framing of the shower is done of steel which holds the shower.
The base of the shower is built of ceramic, which is around 5cms above the bathroom flooring. As one enters the shower area there is a half circular panel in front which has the four switches and two regulator- the first switch adjusts the speeds of the two rotating shower panels which starts from 1km/hr and goes up to 2km/hr. The second switch is to control the temperature of the water coming from the nozzles of the two shower panels. The third switch is for controlling the air pressure coming from the air nozzles in the rotating panels. Next to the third switch is the regulator which controls the temperature of the air which can vary from 24 degree Celsius to 32 degree Celsius. The fourth and the last switch is to start and stop the two rotating shower panels. The second regulator after the last switch has two modes- manual and automatic.
The manual mode allows the user to adjust the water and air flow, whereas the automatic mode is designed to conserve water. The automatic mode make the panel rotate for a particular period of time. On an average a person consumes at least 65 litres of water in a shower and stays in shower for 20 minutes. The automatic mode conserves water as it only uses 40-45 litres of water with showering time reduced to half the time that is taken, that is around 10-12 minutes. The rotating shower panel each consists of 4 shower nozzle and 4 air nozzle.
In total of the two panels there are 8 water nozzles and 8 air nozzles. These water nozzles do not waste water as the water pressure is around 1.5gmp which consumes 40% less water. These two rotating panels are connected to a motor in the centre which rotates the water and air pipes to their adjusted speed. The system is designed keeping the system of a sprinkler in mind. The rotating panels have a smooth and curved edges so that no one is hurt when in rotates. The panels also have a soft rubber at their corner where it touches the glass facade of the shower, so that when it rotates it also cleans the glass. Considering the safety of the children the shower panels have sensors, so that when someone puts their hands behind the rotar the panels automatically stop. Also when someone switches off the rotator and they are rotating from the door, it automatically stops after the door. The half circular panel which controls the shower is attached to the base of the shower which makes it constant.
The water coming from each nozzle can also be control by the second switch, like the user does not want the hair to get wet therefore the upper most nozzles can be shut.
The purpose of having these rotating shower panels is to reduce the effort, as these shower do everything.
The eight air nozzle dry to within 20-30 seconds. The aim of designing the shower was to make having a shower
fun and enjoyable and not just something that is necessary. The air that rotates and comes from all sides intends
to make you feel like you are flying and makes you feel refreshing. Also when one leaves the shower area both
the shower and the person are dried, therefore there is less maintenance of the shower. The idea was to create a
refreshing product which is fun and productive.
