Saving electricity with a humidity sensor

This project is looking at how long it takes to dry clothes without a timer and how much electricity it will save.

Problem

Can I save electricity and time in a dryer with a humidity censor?

Method

  1. Add logs in log book when working on my project
  2. Research on the topic and save data from research
  3. Start collecting all the necessary materials for the project
  4. Start working on the presentation and putting data in the presentation
  5. Build the prototype with the materials
  6. Do the tests and put them into my graph
  7. Code build
  8. Look over the different designs 
  9. Change anything if needed in current design

Analysis

I learned that if companies were to put acurate humidity censors instead of moisture censors in drying machines then everyon would save time and electricity because they would not be overdrying the clothes that they are trying to dry. When doing my tests i noticed that when taking out the towels they were warm wich means they were overdried. While building and coding my model I learned a lot about coding and debuging 

Conclusion

         In conclusion the data supported my  hypothesis because when the clothes were dry it was faster and cheaper by 25% than the use of the two cycles that we think fully dry our clothes.

Acknowledgement

Big thank you to a coding teacher Dmitry Sadakov for helping me with my code debug and for answering my questions about how dryers work and how to build my design.

Thank you to Dmitry Skorinskiy for helping me with the design of my demonstration and with my tests on the dryer.

Thank you to Olga Skorinskaya for the template that I am using for my presentation and trifold.
