For school I have to come up with a problem and my friend and I came up with goggles fogging up. Lenses are built really well, so re-inventing them would be stupid, and theres already many solutions to put on the actuall lenses. I have to come up with a way to solving this issue and actually build a prototype of some sort, lenses or frames, ect. What way should I take this problem on? Anyone got any better solutions or ideas for a problem that I could build! Im trying not to build a lenses or a new frame so maybe a simple soultion would be a lot better. I thought asking newschoolers would be a good start!

Well it's already a product but you could integrate a fan to get rid of the fog.

And there are already a bunch of cloths that have a solution on them to get rid of and keep away fog.

So unless you come up with a ridiculous invention that millions of dollars of R & D at the largest ski companies couldn't figure out, nothing you come up will probably be novel. So you should check with your instructor to make sure this will be alright.

I know theres plenty of solutions but that means I gotta find another problem ): Any ideas on a different problem? I just dont know what direction to go with the fogged goggles because theres already so many options out there..

Maybe the problem of different size noses. I know some goggle fit great on my nose others fit terribly. Some interchangeable nose pieces would be really neat. And it really doesn't sound all that hard to do. Depending on your age/skill that is.
