Last year, I tested the difference between a manual water (MW) dispenser and an automatic self -cleaning water (AW) dispenser that I designed, built, and successfully installed (check Reference Slide).My results showed that the automatic water dispenser not only functioned successfully using an automatic valve and watering system, but it also produced less microbial growth than the traditional manual water dispenser. This finding was supported by at -home E. coli and coliform tests. Although the automatic water (AW) dispenser was successful during last year’s installation and testing, dirt and debris clogged the valve after three months of use. This caused the valve to malfunction and made the AW dispenser inoperable. This year, I am upgrading the project to further improve the AW dispenser by (1) adding a protective cover and (2) installing a battery -powered Yardeen Irrigation Watering System with a float ball valve. The protective cover is designed to prevent dirt, debris, and direct chicken contact from contaminating the water, helping the system remain cleaner and safer over time. Additionally, the Yardeen Irrigation System is expected to improve water flow, includes a built -in filter to prevent debris from entering the valve, an
Your result indicates a lot of sensitivity and this quite encouraging and it is a good accomplishment from the project design to the implementation.
Outstanding work! You clearly identified a real-world problem, designed an improved engineering solution, and tested it using measurable scientific methods. Your data analysis and discussion of environmental factors show excellent scientific thinking. Keep building and improving your designs, you are thinking like a true engineer and scientist!
Your Cluck Clean project is phenomenal engineering, you identified a real problem, designed a solution, and tested it rigorously. Keep innovating!
Mijo, estoy tan orgullosa de ti y de todo lo que haces. Keep building, solving problems, making adjustments and learning about electricity.
