My gap
My gap has been widened a bit, and I now am not only working on the light inside an oven, but would like to make things easier by redesigning other aspects of a GC oven.
The current problem statement:
"In what way might we design a temperature-controlled environment (oven) for a gas chromatograph better adapted to human operators?"

Previous Iteration.
A gas chromatograph is a scientific instrument for chemical analysis, and looks a bit like a microwave oven. What it does is not really the matter here, but what is, is that unlike a chromatograph oven the gas chromatograph oven has no light. When I have to work inside it, often with small parts, it is difficult to see what's going on inside. To make matters worse, when the oven door is open and you're working inside the oven you block whatever light is coming from the room.
This gap is suitable for the course project because
This gap is suitable for the course project because
- I experience this gap every day.
- It is a common complaint among chromatographers that manufacturers don't put lights in the ovens, and I work with a number of them.
- I don't think that it would be very difficult to create an artifact that would address this gap.
- I am proficient in and enjoy working with the electronic and mechanical work that would presumably be necessary for this kind of artifact.
