This machine uses electricity as its energy source,which is the most wildly used energy. The majority of electrical enegy is from thermal power which use fossil fuel to heat water. when water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator then we get the elctricity. Obviously this power generation mode is not environmentally friendly. Can we use a more cleaner energy to start the machine?It is possible to use solar energy, if we add a solar cell on the iceshaver, it can work using the solar energy. However this will let the machine be more inconvenient to use cause you have to put the machine under the sun light to charge it and most of the time the solar energy cannot provide enough power to the motor so the speed will obviously decrease. Also the production cost will raise for the extra solar battery. In conclusion using solar power is not better than electricity even you don’t need to pay for the sun light. The gears and shell are made by ABS(Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) which cannot be naturally decomposed, so these need to be recycled. Compared with other materials, such as glass and metal , plastic polymers require greater processing (heat treating, thermal depolymerization and monomer recycling) to be recycled. This will bring more energy cost in recycling The motor can be reused in daily life. If the dady is smart enough, adding flabellum on the motor and a battery to provide energy, it can be a little fan for kid.
