Conceptualization

To ensure no clear passage for air or water vapor, use a 90 degree joint at the edges. To prevent thermal bridging from material reduction, sensors and control equipment are cut into the surface of the fiberglass with limited clearances.

INTIAL TESTING

Initial testing of the code using two different mediums as two different atmospheres as one atmosphere is a microwaves bowl which behaves as the outer atmosphere and cold container as a inner atmosphere which a temperature similar to room temperature.
