ABSTRACT

This study aims to develop a 3 in 1 griller for easy grill and hard-carry griller that can
be bring anywhere. In making the product the researcher gathered all the needed materials and
equipment. All steel materials were cut according to its precise measure and was assembled
with a welding rod. The stainless plate was molded for the cover, welded with 2 hinges and 2
round bar handle. Blind ribbits were connected using rib biter, several pieces of round bar were
used in making the stand. The aluminium plate was cut for the fryer, the nichrome wire and
heat controller was connected with a wire. Round bar were assembled to make the stand of the
solar panel, the solar panel, adaptor kit, power inerter and battery were assembled and
connected together with the fan. According to Giddings, the amount of heat needed to raise the
temperature of a substance by 1C – is lower for salt water than for fresh water. The
temperature of sea water will get hotter faster than pure water. But still has higher boiling
point, and the mass is still greater when you add salt to the same volume of water, so this
doesn’t mean that the salt water boils faster. The mean of the direct current is M=7.54, in the
solar panel is M= 14.90, the alternating current is M=11.006 and the commercial product is
M=9.32. Therefore, the direct current boils sea water easier than the commercial product.
Moreover, nichrome wire can be used as heating element.
Research Plan

Rationale

Appliances are becoming expensive this day and most of the restaurant could not afford

to this appliances. A side from its buy high cost, you can’t a sure how good its quality is. Griller

is a major appliance that has achieves tremendous popularity over the century. It is use to grill

foods practically in everywhere and in every country of the world. Grilling usually involves a

significant amount of direct radiant heat that helps people to grill food easily.

The commonly used heating element is nichrome wire. It is a wound in wire. It is a

wound in wire coils to a certain resistance and current passed through to produce heat. Nichrome

wire is also helps to less the burn meat in the food. The resistance at nichrome wire will greater

than the copper wire. Therefore, the electric current can flow on the nichrome wire will be

smaller than the copper wire (Murdani, 2016).

Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available. Solar

energy can also be a conductor of electricity. And when electricity is present within the product,

grilling can now be possible.

Coal is usually used in grilling foods. But they have the difficulty of breathing because of

the smoke that produced by the griller. This product would help people who grill their food

instead of using fan. This can make solecoaller: 3-in-1 portable griller is much safer in using or

handling a product.

In this study, a researcher makes portable solar, electricity and coal griller.
Statement of the Problem

The main problem of this investigatory project is to discover the efficiency of the

experimental product. Specifically, this study will pursue to find answer to the following specific

questions:

1. How long will it take to boil 50ml of seawater using the solecoaller using different

power source in terms of :

1.1 solar panel;

1.2 direct current and;

1.3 alternating current?

2. Is there a significant difference between the acceptability of experimental alternative

current and experimental direct current in terms of:

2.1 boiling time?

3. Is there a significant difference between the acceptability of solecoaller using direct

current and commercial griller in terms of:

3.1 boiling time?

Hypotheses

The researcher will be guided by the following hypothesis to be tested. There is no any

significant difference between the functionality of solecoller using alternating current as power

source and electric griller.

Testing Procedure

Boiling Time

During time of boiling, 5 trials will be recorded in a certain amount of 50 mL sea water

and 150 degree Celsius of the griller. It can be tested in an alternative current, direct current and

commercial griller. It will observe if the sea water is easy to boil in the experimental product

than the commercial product.

Potential Risk and Safety

In doing the experimentation, make sure that there is a guide from the electrician. Avoid

also of being careless in fixing the wirings. Avoid doing experimentation in a wet place because
there is a possibility to have bad happenings. Make sure that the wirings were fixed well to

INTRODUCTION

In this day, grills have been helping us through our culinary journeys, producing

succulent recipes loaded with nutrients and incentives to binge eat almost everything that comes

off top of its grates. (Donglos, G.,2017). It is a form of cooking that involves dry heat applied to

the surface of the food. It is also an alternative in cooking foods that uses oil.

In our country, there are many street vendors selling grilled foods. However, other street

vendors find it hard to sell their goods, because of the type of griller they used. Traditional

grillers have been hazy and exerting a lot of energy for heating the traditional griller by using

fan.

Nichrome wire is a heating element or a material that allows the electricity to pass

through it and offers certain resistance that produce heat. This nichrome wire will be the heat

supply for the griller. Nichrome wire is an alloy made from nickel and chromium. It resists heat

and oxidation and serves as heating element. The wire can be found in laboratories, construction

and specialized electronics. Nichrome is resistant to heat and corrosion in water, and when

heated, it forms a thin layer of chromium oxide that makes it practically immune to oxidation

(Flournoy B.,2018). On the other hand, solar panel is devices that convert light into electricity

and this will serve as the electric conductor of the griller. These two materials will make the

griller more efficient than the other grillers.

In this study, the researcher will use nichrome wire and solar to make 3-in-1 alternative

griller. It is also oil base wire so if the oil spills in it, it won’t damage anything and it is much

safer than the ordinary wire. This study is not that big not like the other griller so the

experimental product is more likely a hard-carry griller that can be bring anywhere. It uses an
extraordinary wire. Moreover, this study conserve energy by using it’s alternative current is

having a non-hassle grilling and making this griller more handy griller, safer construction of

griller.

The experimental product lessens the hazy and burned fats of the meat while grilling. It

uses three different electric heat sources to grill. However, this study is limited on burning fats of

the meat while grilling it and it is easy to use.

CONCLUSION

Based on the results gathered from the testing made, the researcher drawn the

following conclusion.

The mean of the direct current in boiling water is M= 7.54, in the solar panel is

M=14.90, in the alternating current is M=11.06 and in the commercial product is

M=9.32.Therefore, the experimental product (direct current) is easy to boil sea water than the

commercial product. Moreover, the nichrome wire was can be used as heating element.

This study aims to develop a multi-purpose grill that has direct current, solar and coal. It

is much easier to use than the other griller and you can easy bring it anywhere.
