| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this project is to design and develop an egg incubator system that is able to
incubate eggs from chicken, ducks, and goose. This system is called the Automated Egg
Incubator (AEI). This project is eco-friendly, which uses as much as possible recyclable material
is thrown away. AEI will control the temperature and humidity. AEI also has a sensor that can
monitor the incubator conditions. For the heating element in this project. We use the light bulb to
provide a suitable temperature to the egg.A thermostat will be used to control the temperature
inside the incubator. Water will be used to maintain the humidity inside AEI. An air pump will
be used to make sure the air circulates inside AEI, this will make the humidity inside the
incubator evenly spread. If the eggs are hatched, the buzzer that is installed with an incubator
circuit will sound to indicate that there is a movement of chicks or ducklings. The movement can
be detected by using the ultrasonic sensor, Solenoid is used in order to turn the eggs. The
purpose of moving the egg is to prevent the yolk inside the egg from attaching to the
eggshell/skin. There is one element that will be controlled using a programmable integrated
circuit (PIC), which displays the status condition of AEI on the LCK screen display. This project
will be a user-friendly product because it is produced in small sizes and can be moved to other
places with minimal user handling.
