the time for mining bitcoins with small systems is over. You need very special hardware to do so, and it is not possible in small size. You would have to get a highly sophisticated specialist to develop such a thing, or you dive into the area of Altcoins (need to do a lot of reading), to maybe find something which fits your needs.

Is there any small, transportable mining hardware able to profit?
