da lab...
In case any of you are interested I thought I would post some pictures of where I work. Here are 2 of my experiment. It is basically a mess of wires and tubes, plus a bunch of computers that I get to play with.
The main component of the setup:
This is the other side of my work area:
I'll spare you the explanation of all the junk in the pictures! What I am working on is the characterization of adsorption properties of a number of materials which can be used to make giant cooling facilities or what my boss is working on in the other lab, a super-CPU cooler for military computers! So basically I just measure stuff at different temperatures and pressures with the Thermogravimetric analysis machine. It sounds boring (and often is!) but it is actually a lot more complicated that it appears on the surface. There are a lot of modeling equations with really crazy derivations that I tend to stay away from as much as possible. And yes I use each of those 3 computers everyday! The first one is for controlling the TGA machine, the second is for a datalogger and monitoring the equiptment, and the third is for internet! Anyways, that has been my job for the past 3 months and I'll be a little relieved when it's over!
On another note lets have a look at what Samson does all day at work!
