Factors · COST: Using a laser would give you accurate data but the cost would be extreme. · TIME OF PRODUCTION: Forging a laser would take time because the circuits and lenses would take precision to construct which would take a lot of time. · COMPLEXITY OF IDEA: The system would be very complex for the simple fact that programming and additional equipment would have to be added in order to give accurate readings and the casing would have to be of a hard material that would take time to build. · MASS PRODUCTION CAPABILITY: This would not be so bad because once we had all the components it’s only a matter of assembly. · SPECIFIC FACTORS: It would be up to spec because once we get the initial design it would be easy to adjust it. The current state of laser technology may not be advanced enough to produce a laser capable of measuring diesel particles.
