EyeTribe Hacks - 2 Temperature

[Memo]

Welcome to the second report of this series. This time we will find if there is a heat problem at EyeTribe case design. As you know the frame of the case is a kind of metal, probably aluminum. Aluminum is one of the best metal for heat transferring in the electronic.


Room Temperature before start: 23.2 °C



EyeTribe Case Frame Temperature at start: 20.7 °C



EyeTribe Case Frame Temperature running after 6 minutes: 35.5 °C



EyeTribe Case Frame Temperature running after 10 minutes: 38.7 °C



EyeTribe Case Frame Temperature running after 15 minutes: 39.7 °C



EyeTribe Case Frame Temperature running after 30 minutes: 41.1 °C



EyeTribe Case Frame Temperature running after 1 hour: 41.6 °C



Room Temperature at finish: 24.4 °C

Room Temperature difference = 24.4 °C - 23.2 °C = +1.2 °C

Important Information Guide of the Eye Tribe Tracker Says;
Operating The Eye Tribe Tracker outside these ranges may effect performance:
Operating tempererature: 32° to 113° F (0° to 45° C)
Storage temperature: 14° to 122° F (-10° to 50° C)


Result: EyeTribe has a well heat transfer design and stays stable around 41.6 °C (at the room temperature 24.4. °C) . It seems that there is no need to add an extra cooling subsystem. Good case heat transfer design, congratulations.
