Section 3. You will hear a discussion between two design students and their tutor on a practical assignment.
0:08
S… Speaker 2 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
First, you have some time to look at questions 21 to 25.
0:14
S… Speaker 5 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Pause the recording for 30 seconds.
0:18
S… Speaker 2 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Now listen carefully and answer questions 21 to 25.
0:24
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
So, have you chosen a product yet?
0:27
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
I think so. We'd like to build a gyroscopic exercise aid.
0:33
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Sounds interesting. Tell me more.
0:35
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Well, we did some research and were amazed to discover the sheer range of applications for gyroscopic technology.
0:43
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Gyroscopes are used in laser and optical devices and can be found in many consumer appliances too.
0:51
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Right. Tell me about this product specifically though.
0:55
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
The aim of the assignment is to create something practical, functional and beneficial for consumers.
1:01
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Justify your decision.
1:03
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Well, we believe we can design and build a cheap and effective muscle strengthening aid by taking advantage of the inertial forces created by a gyroscope.
1:15
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Yes. What we want to do is design a ball which can be held in the palm.
1:21
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Within the ball, there will be a simple gyroscope.
1:24
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
This gyroscope can be set in motion by movement of the lower arm and wrist together in sync.
1:31
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
The device will not require any external power source because it will be sustained by the movement of the arm and wrist.
1:38
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
This will create considerable resistance and an excellent lower arm strengthening aid.
1:45
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
It will be simple to design and cheap to produce, yet extremely effective.
1:51
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
This all sounds very good. I'm impressed.
1:55
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Thanks, Mark. We're glad you like it.
1:57
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
I think we're really on to something here.
2:00
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Our research has told us there's nothing comparable in the market and that a product like this would have multiple uses.
2:06
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Not only could it be used as an everyday toning and exercise device, it could also be beneficial to people in rehabilitation who have suffered serious lower arm injuries.
2:18
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
We see the product being marketed towards high-performance athletes, like tennis and golf players, for whom lower arm strength is vital too.
2:30
S… Speaker 2 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Before you hear the rest of the discussion, you have some time to look at questions 26 to 30.
2:38
S… Speaker 5 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Pause the recording for 30 seconds.
2:43
S… Speaker 2 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Now listen and answer questions 26 to 30.
2:49
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
I've heard enough to give your project the go-ahead. Now, let's talk costs.
2:54
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Right. Well, we estimate that around £3,000 will be required for product development.
3:02
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
You mean to build the prototype?
3:04
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Exactly. And we'll need half that again to carry out some product testing.
3:09
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
And what's your timeline for the project?
3:12
S… Speaker 4 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
The prototype should be ready a fortnight after work on the design starts, and we'll need another six weeks for testing.
3:20
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
We want to enlist the help of 15 people to test the prototype.
3:25
S… Speaker 3 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Ideally, we want five professional athletes to try it out, five recovery patients, and the remainder of the subjects will be gym members, our three target markets.
3:37
S… Speaker 1 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
OK. Well, you have a lot of work to do, but you've certainly made a good start. Let's meet again on Monday to get the ball rolling.
3:49
S… Speaker 2 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
That is the end of Section 3. You now have half a minute to check your answers.
3:56
S… Speaker 5 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Pause the recording for 30 seconds.
4:00
S… Speaker 2 (36 - TEST 9 Section 3-)
Now turn to Section 4.
