Abstract/Summary
This senior project outlines the development of an oven that utilizes renewable energy to operate safely and effectively. It aims to test building an oven using mostly basic hardware students acquired during their time at Cal Poly and provide a starting point for those interested in creating a solar-powered oven. As our society continues to innovate and increasingly relies on electricity, it is important to place more emphasis on how we can make our lives sustainable to take care of our environment without introducing excessive pollutants. Food preparation is a daily activity that typically involves significant energy consumption, making this domain a critical focus for optimizing typical appliances into renewable energy-powered systems that take stress away from the grid. Sustainabake proposes a potential solution to situations where the grid isn’t accessible such as remote areas or areas recovering from an environmental disaster. The results obtained after completion were found to satisfy the established engineering specifications and conclusions made in simulations. Thus, Sustainabake was proven to be an effective method to utilize renewable energy to power food preparation.
