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 Automated Egg Incubator (AEI). This project is eco-friendly, which use as much as possible recyclable material thrown away. AEI will control the temperature and humidity. AEI also has sensor that can monitor the incubator conditions. For the heating element in this project, we will use the light bulb to provide a suitable temperature to the egg. Thermostat will be used to control the temperature inside the incubator. Water will be used to maintain the humidity inside AEI. Air pump will be used to make sure the air circulate inside AEI, this will make the humidity inside the incubator evenly spread. If the eggs are hatched, the buzzer that is installed with incubator circuit will sound to indicate that there is movement of chicks or ducklings. The movement can be detecting by using 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 attach to the egg shell/skin. There is one element that will be controlled using programmable integrated circuit (PIC), which is the display the status condition of AEI on the LCD screen display. This project will be a user-friendly product because it is produced in a small size and can be moved to other places with minimal user handling.
