An electric popcorn machine is machine that is used to popcorn for human consumption. It uses electricity as it sources of energy, transfer it energy, that is used to pop the Corn. Also it has a stirrer, which rotate due to the convection of electrical energy from the source to mechanical energy in the motor, the stirrer tons 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 adequate and functional equipment and facilities in 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 technological experience rather than that of the western one, which rather more expansion and at- time in appropriate.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

The production of popcorn is a long time practice in Nigeria. This is done using firewood and a frying pan using spoon to stir the corn. Due to the advancement in technology the used of pot with stirrer using gas cylinders as it sources of energy was introduce to lake care of the problem of the old method. But these methods have of the old method. But these methods have some constraints, which necessitate the introduction of the project (Electric popcorn machines) some of the problem are: The united nature of the system, the cost of buying a cylinder. The machine use electricity as it source and reduces the cost of popcorn production for commercial purpose.

Nigeria being one of the countries in the continent of Africa is faced with some military factors. As a developing nation, There was been cases of bribery and corruption, drug abuse and trafficking, unlawful tempering of our pipe-line most especially in the Niger Delta prostitution, armed robbery and falsification of account. Because of this evident her inability to provide her youth with meaningful employment even after graduation. This social malady if not corb could lead to economic depression and stagnation. Based on this realization, we deem it necessary to embark on a project of this kind which would not only remedy our economy but would also give our youth a source of direction and above all make them to be self-reliant.

The importance of this project cannot be over emphasize since our present economy does not call for our depending on foreign aid but on what we can produce either collectively as a nation or as an individual. Since government can no longer carter for the needs and wants of the longing populace. This project server as a foreign exchange earning for Nigeria thereby making pride we as an advance, Nation technology. Practically, the project could also serves as a means of enriching our knowledge and skills on how to make use of available resources in designing, fabricating, constructing and operating various machines and devices with efficiency of 65.98%, The benefit to be derived from this project are numerous, the most important is that it create employment opportunity for young graduate, i.e. self- employment.
