OBJECTIVE
To have a good economical shower
To innovate a new LED shower
 INTRODUCTION
sensor shower head with (LED)

The high technology rain shower head powers the LED

lights using a built in hidden dynamo where the lights of this
rain shower will automatically turn on when water pressure
is turned on.

The lights will dim and brighten when the pressure of the
water lower and raise.

first shower invented by William Feetham (Mead,

In 2014, Ametis shower system has invented high
technology engineering features and integrated a
chromotherapy system using LED lighting where the LED
lighting was positioned within the shower ring to add new
dimension to the column which creates a soothing halo effect
for the desired ambiance with LED lights reflecting off the
ceiling and this allow the user to choose their mood or

it used hand pump and become more popular as it
used less water
This contraption had a pump that forced water into
an upper basin above the head.
Peoples would then pull a chain to release the water
from this upper basin, although people have to
brace themselves for an onslaught of cold water.

mixed with cold water at 10oC, 120 kPa, to produce 2.5 kg/s surface

of saturated liquid water at 120kPa. Steam and cold water

flow rates are at 1.71kg/s and 0.79 kg/s

Flowrate from hot water obtained was 0.00171 m3/s whilst

flowrate from cold water was 0.00079m3/s. This would be an
ideal flowrate of a hot water and cold water to get an
optimum flowrate of 0.00025 m3/s during shower.

Power calculated was 300.4268 W and 6.5sen/h for the cost

of using heater.
CONCLUSION

this automatic shower can be considered as an economical

friendly shower as it cost 6.5sen/h and uses power of 0.3kW
only.
