ASSIGNMENTS
Invention, Intellectual Property and Income
Assignment:
- Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project.
- Prepare a summary slide and Video Clip in your root directory.
At first I was thinking to use the Creative Commons license (NonComercial):
Which says: “You let others copy, distribute, display, perform, and
(unless you have chosen NoDerivatives) modify and use your work for any
purpose other than commercially unless they get your permission first".
Then I decided to use The Fab license which says:
"This work may be reproduced, modified, distributed, performed, and
displayed for any purpose, but must acknowledge "project name".
Copyright is retained and must be preserved. The work is provided as
is; no warranty is provided, and users accept all liability."
Essential oil extractor is a project designed
By Laura Cristina Massaglia during the Fab Academy 2017, at Fab Lab
Facens, Sorocaba-SP Brazil. It is an essential oil extractor which
allows the oil to separate by itself. This project can be modified and
scaled to any size to fulfill the needs of any project using this
design and system. Since the Essential Oil extractor is completely
available on the Fab Academy website the need for intellectual property
or copyright is not at the moment existent.
Therefore, the project will be covered with a Fab Lab license, under
the name of Oil Extractor. The income of this project will come from
selling the product/project to chemical labs.
The purpose of this project is to facilitate the essential oil
extraction. By now it is only a prototype, so the next steps would be
to manufacture the product and test it labs and then get feedback from
chemists. After that make changes to the product if necessary. Then
find an investor to invest in the product or a company to buy the
rights to the product outright.

Final thoughts:
I showed the parts in my video that are most important for this project
the longest. As you can tell I didn’t show the boiling flask as much as
the other parts because, it is a known item in the distillation process
to turn the liquid into a gas.
As for the distillation equipment I believe I could or someone who is
perfecting my project make the equipment using the 3D printer with
material that can withstand the high temperatures of the distillation
process. In our fab lab the material that was available to us would not
be able to be used for this equipment. The most important thing about
this project is the cone which substituting the receiving flask. This
makes the process for the oil extraction easier and more efficient
because, the receiving flask once filled with your liquid and oil must
then be put into a beaker which then you have to wait and extract the
oil using a pipette.
