+            <p>
+                In this portion of the design process, we needed to determine what conditions our design would be exposed to and how viable the design truly was. We needed to weigh the benefits and the drawbacks of our product. To do this, we also considered the environmental impact that producing, shipping, using, and disposing of our product would have.

+                <span>Loads</span>
+            </p>
+            <p>    Loads will be static as there will be tension in the design portion that is connected to the neck of the guitar. The design will need to be clamped onto the guitar, and the clamp will have a static load in the form of tension. The lower portion of the design comprised of the OLED display mounted on the guitar body will also be clamped to the guitar to allow easy removal and attachment, so this will also have tension in the clamp.</p>

+                <span>Materials</span>
+            </p>
+            <p>    We will either lasercut acrylic or some sort of hardwood to construct the outer case. We may also use 3D printing in the design, whichever option we decide on later. These materials will be more than strong enough together with a thoughtfully designed product that it will be resilient to any small drops or swinging it around on the guitar. We will also add stress relief or connectors for wires exiting the enclosures to ensure that they do not fray or break. Our design will only be mounted on a guitar, so it will not experience many loads. The design will also be able to clamp onto a guitar neck and guitar body, so repetitive loading will be withstood through a clamp release mechanism which will be thoroughly tested. There will not be any extreme temperatures expected for this design to operate in. PLA plastic does deteriorate very slowly when exposed to UV light, but we know that PLA designs have withstood harsh conditions (previous project from Benny, designing a waterproof radio antenna case for outside use, it still works).</p>

+                <span>Mechanical Engineering</span>
+            </p>
+            <p>    No heat or mechanical power is required. No moving parts or simple machines will be used. All components should interact effectively because none will be moving w/out external input from user. Loads should not be transferred except in the case of rapid catastrophic deconstruction. All parts should move at an ideal speed of 0m/s (so the product is at rest).</p>

+                <span>Energy</span>
+            </p>
+            <p>    Electronics components require electricity, supplied by a battery. Chemical energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy and transferred through wires.</p>

+            </p>
+            <p>Hazardous chemicals will unfortunately be used in the production of the electronic circuit boards, as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid are used to etch copper traces on PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards).</p>

+                <span>Electrical Engineering</span>
+            </p>
+            <p>    Yes – electronics used to coordinate and display information. LEDs, wiring, an OLED display, and a Raspberry Pi Zero are all used. They will be integrated using laser-cut mounts.</p>

+            <p>
+                <span>Laws, Codes, and Regulations</span>
+            </p>
+            <p>The only relevent legal issue we could find was the disposal of batteries as hazardous waste. These can be disposed of through municipal programs and local stores, which then transport them to recycling centers. Our team also meets the ethical responsility for technical expertise related to our product design.</p>
