Early American Energy Design Brief

Defining the Problem

Summarize the problem: The problem is that an early America people had three main energy sources to do their work, by animal, water, and air power. My group's task is to find an efficient way to transport a log into a mill. This problem affects the people because moving a log with your bare hands is nearly impossible and requires too much energy. 

Who was affected by this problem: Lumberjack were affected by this problem. Also, anyone who cut transported and distributed logs were affected by this problem.

Solution criteria: Our solution must be able to be able to represent a log being securely transported into a mill using animal power.

Constraints: Our energy source must come from animal power.
