Smart Egg Incubator System with Gsm Monitor
Chapter 1
Introduction
* Background Information
Egg incubation is the process by which eggs are kept warm under specific temperature and humidity so that the embryo inside can develop and hatch after the specific number of days. The most vital factors of incubation are constant temperature and humidity which has to be maintained over a period of days. Naturally, this process is carried out by the animal either by laying on it called brooding or burying it under the ground using geothermal heat or the heat generated from rotting vegetable material, effectively created to form a giant compost heap.
The humidity is also critical. If the air is too dry the egg will lose too much water to the atmosphere, which can make hatching difficult or impossible. As incubation proceeds, the egg will normally become lighter, and the air space within the egg will normally become larger, owing to evaporation from the egg. Therefore to ensure the hatching of the eggs, adequate humidity is much needed.
With the development in agricultural sector and its commercialization, this natural process cannot keep pace with the vast increase in the population of the world that has increased demand for food. In order to increase food production to sustain the growing population, devices and mechanisms that can aid agricultural productions are of paramount need.
One of such devices is the Egg Incubator. An Egg Incubator is a device that provides constant temperature and humidity for the egg under incubation through hatching, invariably taking up the job of an animal over the specific period of days. This process can be termed artificial.

1.02. Aims of the Project
1. To develop a device that will aid agricultural industry to increase productivity in poultry production.
It is quite obvious that a poultry animal cannot incubate as many eggs as needed for industrial production, therefore, through this project, as little as 50 eggs can be incubated at a time and with a bigger construction as

    My name is Madison Johnson. I am in the 9th grade. I am in Mrs. Logan’s biology class. I am doing my project on “The Magic Floating Egg”. Eggs sink in normal tap water and I am testing whether or not changing the density of water will make the egg float. I was looking at projects on sciencebuddies.org and I saw that multiple people had done this. I am trying to prove that when you add a certain amount of salt to water, it will make it more dense. I took pictures of the results. This information can be useful because we can test the density of salt water versus the density of normal tap water..…

    Beginning with the production methods in the poultry industry, the methods conducted are almost unbelievable. Steve Striffler, being a poultry processing plant worker, provides his audience with first hand information into the unjust practices the food industry uses. With the technological investment in our global economy, maximizing production is possible, creating more with less. The same principle applies to the food industry; with the help of growth hormones and advanced technology, more poultry products are available to consumers and consequently create more jobs for immigrants. Not only are the costs of poultry products lowered but the production time is a faster and more efficient. All of these factors sounds appealing, however, the methods used to achieve these outcomes are where the major problem lies.…

    Each month inside your ovaries, a group of eggs starts to grow. Eventually one of the eggs erupts from the follicle and this is known as ovulation. It usually happens about two weeks before your next period. A hormone is released that helps thicken the lining of your uterus, getting it ready for the egg. After the egg is released, it moves into the fallopian tube. When a sperm does make its way into the Fallopian tube and burrow into the egg, it fertilises the egg. The egg changes so that no other sperm can get in. The egg stays in the Fallopian tube for about three to four days, but within 24 hours of being fertilised it starts dividing very fast into many cells. It keeps dividing as it moves slowly through the fallopian tube to the uterus. The developing collection of cells is now called an embryo and is attached to the wall of the uterus by a placenta. Chemicals are released to prevent the women having another menstrual period.…

    Many might think that an egg is made up of cells, when in actuality and egg itself is a cell. An egg has several main parts, including the egg shell (that acts as the cell membrane), the egg yolk and the egg white. There’s also a tiny white mass that is very important, it’s called the ovum, and it is the living part of the cell. If a hen lays an egg without mating with a cock then the ovum will not develop. If the hen does mate, then the egg will be fertile and it develops into a little chick. The egg being worked with in this experiment is not fertile (Lawrence Hall of Science 2009).…
