01-Dec-2015: Final Project

The EGG-cubator!

Learning the components:

We first had to learn to control the various components that would be used in the creation of our egg-cubator.

Learning to swap between relays meant that  two devices could be connected and set to run intermittently. This set the basis for power control and further component control.


Building:

• May the building commence!!!!

• Designs had to be made.... and LOW COST was a must.

• *** Based after a vertical meat smoker.

• Building could commence...
• We started building a frame around the fan.

• Keep warm if you're working in a poorly insulated shed.

• Walls could then be added.

• Eye protection is a must kids.

• Before sealing everything up the egg rotator had to be built and inserted. Our design promoted cage free chicks.

• Now we could seal all the edges and mount all the hardware.

• Let the experimenting begin!!!!

• Setup a station, maybe near a smoke alarm, the kitchen table was my safe bet.

• Mark your egg so you know it rotated.

• Preheat the oven ladies and gents.

• Let's get ready to experiment.

• Take a quick look from below.

• SEAL IT UP AND LET IT RUN...  log that start time.

• Check on the egg... did it rotate?

• Is the egg at the desired temperature?

Data:

• Use the tools that we've been given.

• Now the data graphing, and modeling could commence... there is nothing in here about sleep.

• ***FYI: McDonalds does not ask you to leave.
