An installed Laptop Lifter (aka the Tide Riser). Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division's Codes E15 Hydrospace Laboratory and E42 Additive Manufacturing Lab (AML) collaborated to produce this solution to help improve ventilation to the division's new computers to keep them from overheating due to prolonged use. The innovation is installed at the rear of the computer to improve air flow. The final product is estimated to cost $2 per unit which offers a significant savings versus $6 - $8 per unit if it were produced externally. (U.S. Navy photo by Eddie Green)

Hydrospace Laboratory Mechanical Engineer Jake Moody V demonstrates the equipment he uses to design an innovation called the Laptop Lifter (aka the Tide Riser) at Naval Surface Warfare Center Panama City Division on Feb. 9. Moody was posed with the challenge to create a solution to maximize a computer's internal cooling system and thereby eliminating the need for early laptop replacements.
