FABRICATION OF ELECTRICAL POP CORN MACHINE

ABSTRACT

An electric pop corn machine is a machine that is used to pop com for human consumption. It uses electricity as its source of energy, transfer heat energy, that is used to rotate due to the convention of electrical energy from the source to mechanical energy in the motor, the stirrer turns 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 for the user.

To be candid, the burden of mankind because of the existence of technology for this reasons, the government is expected to encourage the young technologist and engineers who has graduated and those who are yet to be graduated from school. By providing them with financial assistance, installation of functional and adequate equipment and facility various installations, competent and qualified personnel and in addition making education free for those who are not financially buoyant. By so doing, we will be boasting of technological advancement if we are ready to adopt indigenous technical experience rather than that of western one, which rather more expansion and at-time in appropriate.    

This project is divided into five chapters, chapter one: introduction, literature review, specification of problem which include requirement of the design, condition for use, characteristic, appearance.

Chapter two: Description of components parts, Body frame work and various types of heating element and material needed for construction. 

Chapter three: comprises assembly, principles of operation and control.

Chapter four: Precaution and theory of analysis.

Chapter five: recommendation and conclusion together with references.
