Abstract: The utilization of solar energy for food drying has long been a method of food preservation. Regrettably, certain methods that are implemented in rural areas have resulted in numerous drawbacks, including the inferior quality of the food that is produced and the extended drying time that is a result of numerous external factors. The Electric Powered Air Dryer is a novel technology that is derived from the combination of electric and thermal energy. The electric heater is employed in our endeavor to convert electric energy into heat energy through the use of a blower. We introduce the electric air dryer machine in our project for the primary purpose of dehydrating seeds, fruits, and other items with high moisture content. In our endeavor, the electric air dryer comprises four primary components: a blower, heat sensing element, 12v adapter, and electric heater. The blower is designed to transport heated air to the designated location, thereby eliminating the moisture content of the area. Additionally, our product is portable in size. Therefore, it is effortless to relocate the ground dehydrator to any location. This report includes a background on the project, with the first chapter introducing the topic of drying and our endeavor. The literature review is the subject of the second chapter. Chapter three comprises drier descriptions. The fourth chapter delves into the design of the dryer, while the fifth chapter provides an analysis of the dryer. The final chapter comprises references, while the sixth chapter compares conventional drying.
