Brief Description: O2 Console - Design and Foam Plug Making

The goal was to create a center console that would hold an O2 tank. Objectives included: - Slimmest possible profile. We've become used to having a lot of space in the front seats. We did not want to lose all of it or feel cramped - Largest possible O2 tank - Storage for tubing and canulas plus some miscellaneous storage. We've gone paperless so map storage is not required - Easily removeable O2 tank for low cost filling - Easily removeable console - Mounting of iPad in easy readable and useable position (previously used knee pad)
