    • 1.4       APPERANCE
      The product should have a glistening appearance, which can attract the prospective consumers of the popcorn.
      Reliability and Life  
      The expected useful life in normal circumstance should not be less than 10 years.
      Limitation
      (1)               There was no conveyor that should remove the popcorn from the hot pot.
      (2)               There was no time to indicate when the corn is fully popped.
      (3)               There was no thermostat to regulate the temperature of the system.
      (4)               There was noting like lagging to trap some of the heat.
      1.5       PRECAUTION
      Accident can be defined as an unexpected unplanned and unpredicted event, which could course loss of life, damage of properties and stoppage of work.
      Safety can also be defined as freedom from accident.
      The following precautions are put in place when operating the machine.
      1.                  Touching of hot pot during processing is no advisable.
      2.                  Line wire most not be touched with unprotected hands.
      3.                  Broken glasses and frame should be properly disposed.
      1.6       THEORY OF DESIGN AND ANALYSIS
                  The diameters of the machine are as follows:
      Length of Frame                                 510mm
      Base                                                    510mm
      Diameter of Bigger Pot           50mm
      Diameter of Smaller Pot         45mm
      Height of Frame                                  710mm
      Volume                                   L x B x H
      V                                             184671000
      HEAT TRANFER
      CONSTRUCTION
      This is the method of heat transfer by which heat energy moves from a region of higher concentration of heat to that to lower concentration while the material or body in question remain at fixed point. Most metals allow heat energy to pass through them and are said to be good conductors of heat. Non-metals such as woods, cotton paper and cork do not allow heat to pass through them.  This one called bad conductors or insulators. Though all metals are classified as good conditions, they differ in their ability to conduct heat. In order word, they need material medium for their propagation.

    • ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]An electric popcorn machine is machine that is used to popcorn for human consumption. It uses electricity as it sources of energy, transfer it energy, that is used to pop the Corn. Also it has a stirrer, which rotate due to the convection of electrical energy from the source to mechanical energy in the motor, the stirrer tons the corn so that it will not burns.This project went as far as meeting most of the requirement of advancement in technology, which lead to make-work easy and comfortable fo ...
