The Convenient Gourmet

Working Prototype
The purpose of the working prototype was to isolate the fan
speed and heating element, to see what would happen if
given complete control over both. It also served as a way to
understand the skeletal form of the components.
The components were isolated to be put inside a separate
box (bottom left hand corner), so that the handling of the
model would not be impaired.
The model was then used to explore the following experiments
and ergonomic studies, to best see how to create a
form that would eventually fit the design criteria.
fan
heat coil (ceramic case)
arduino setup
DC motor control
